Judges 13:4 in Context — Judges 13

2 Il y avait un homme de Tsorea, de la famille des Danites, et qui s’appelait Manoach. Sa femme était stérile, et n’enfantait pas.

3 Un ange de l’Éternel apparut à la femme, et lui dit: Voici, tu es stérile, et tu n’as point d’enfants; tu deviendras enceinte, et tu enfanteras un fils.

4 Maintenant prends bien garde, ne bois ni vin ni liqueur forte, et ne mange rien d’impur.

5 Car tu vas devenir enceinte et tu enfanteras un fils. Le rasoir ne passera point sur sa tête, parce que cet enfant sera consacré à Dieu dès le ventre de sa mère; et ce sera lui qui commencera à délivrer Israël de la main des Philistins.

6 La femme alla dire à son mari; Un homme de Dieu est venu vers moi, et il avait l’aspect d’un ange de Dieu, un aspect redoutable. Je ne lui ai pas demandé d’où il était, et il ne m’a pas fait connaître son nom.
