Judges study chapter

Judges 13

c. 1075 BCThe angel of the LORD announces the birth of Samson, who is to be a Nazirite and begin to save Israel from the Philistines.

Israel is oppressed by the Philistines for forty years. The angel of the LORD appears to the barren wife of Manoah, announcing a son who is to be a Nazirite from the womb and will begin to save Israel from the Philistines. When Manoah asks the angel’s name, it is “wonderful,” and the angel ascends in the altar flame; Samson is born and blessed by the LORD.
