2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, and his
name was Manoah. And his wife was barren, and had not borne. 3 And the Messenger of YAHUVEH appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold
now, you are barren and have not borne. But you shall conceive and bear a son. 4 And now take heed, and please do not drink wine or fermented drink; and do not
eat any unclean thing. 5 For, behold, you are pregnant and bearing a son. And a razor shall not go on
his head, for the boy shall be a Nazarite to Elohim from the womb. And he shall
begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. 6 And the woman came and spoke to her husband, saying, A Man of Elohim has come
to me, and His appearance was like the appearance of the Messenger of Elohim,
very terrifying. And I did not ask Him where He was from, and He did not tell me
His name. 7 And He said to me, Behold, you are pregnant and will bear a son. And now do
not drink wine or fermented drink, and do not eat any unclean thing, for the boy
shall be a Nazarite to Elohim from the womb, until the day of his death. 8 Then Manoah prayed to YAHUVEH, and said, O YAHUVEH, the Man of Elohim whom You
sent, please let Him come again to us and direct us what we shall do to the boy
being born. 9 And Elohim listened to the voice of Manoah, and the Messenger of Elohim came
again to the woman. And she was sitting in a field; and her husband Manoah was
not with her. 10 And the woman hurried and ran, and told her husband, and said to him, Behold,
He has appeared to me, the Man who came to me that day. 11 And Manoah rose up and went after his wife, and came to the Man. And he said
to Him, Are You the Man who spoke to the woman? And He said, I Am. 12 And Manoah said, Then let Your words come about. What shall be the manner of
life of the youth, and his undertaking? 13 And the Messenger of YAHUVEH said to Manoah, Let her take heed of all that I
said to the woman; 14 she shall not eat of anything that came forth from the grapevine; and she
shall not drink wine or fermented drink; and she shall not eat any unclean
thing. She shall be careful of all that I commanded her. 15 And Manoah said to the Messenger of YAHUVEH, Please let us keep You, and
prepare before You a kid of the goats. 16 And the Messenger of YAHUVEH said to Manoah, If you detain Me, I will not eat
of your bread. And if you prepare a burnt offering, you shall offer it to
YAHUVEH. For Manoah did not know that He was the Messenger of YAHUVEH. 17 And Manoah said to the Messenger of YAHUVEH, What is Your name? So when Your
words come about, then we shall honor You. 18 And the Messenger of YAHUVEH said to him, Why do you ask this about My name?
Yea, it is Wonderful. 19 And Manoah took the kid of the goats, and the food offering, and offered on
the rock to YAHUVEH. And He did wonderfully, and Manoah and his wife were
watching. 20 And it happened as the flame from off the altar was going up to the heavens,
that the Messenger of YAHUVEH went up in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and
his wife were watching. And they fell on their faces to the ground. 21 And the Messenger of YAHUVEH did not appear any more to Manoah, or to his
wife. Then Manoah knew that He was the Messenger of YAHUVEH. 22 And Manoah said to his wife, surely we shall die, because we have seen Elohim. 23 And his wife said to him, If YAHUVEH desired to put us to death, He would not
have received a burnt offering and a food offering from our hands, nor made us
see all these things; nor would He now have caused us to hear things like these. 24 And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the youth grew, and
YAHUVEH blessed him. 25 And the Spirit of YAHUVEH began to move him in the camp of Dan between Zorah
and Eshtaol.
Ephesians 1:1–23
1 Paul, an apostle of YAHUSHUA Messiah through the will of YAHUVEH, to the
saints being in Ephesus and faithful in Messiah YAHUSHUA: 2 Grace to you and peace from YAHUVEH our Father and the Master YAHUSHUA
Messiah. 3 Blessed is the Elohim and Father of our Master YAHUSHUA Messiah, who blessed
us with every spiritual blessing in heaven through Messiah, 4 even as He elected us in Him before the foundation of the world, for us to be
holy and without blemish before Him in love, 5 And He marked us with His love to be His from the beginning and adopted us to
be sons through YAHUSHUA Messiah, according to how it pleased His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace in which He poured upon us by His
beloved one, 7 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins, according
to the riches of His grace 8which He caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding, 9 making known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure
which He purposed in Himself, 10 as a stewardship of the fullness of the times that all things might be made
new, both in the heavens, and the things on the earth, through Messiah, 11 by whom we have been chosen as He marked us from the beginning so He wanted
to carry out everything according to the good judgment of His will, 12 that we should become the first to trust in Messiah to His honor and glory; 13 in whom, you also have heard the Word of Truth, which is the good news of
your salvation, in Him you have believed, so you were sealed with the Holy
Spirit that was promised, 14 which is the pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of the purchased
possession, to the praise of His glory. 15 Because of this, hearing of your faith in our Master YAHUSHUA Messiah and
your love toward all the saints, 16 I also do not cease giving thanks on your behalf, making mention of you in my
prayers, 17 that the Elohim of our Master YAHUSHUA Messiah, the Father of glory, may give
to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your mind having been enlightened, for you to know what is the
hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in
the saints, 19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us, the ones
believing according to the working of His mighty strength 20 which He worked in Messiah in raising Him from the dead; and He seated Him at
His own right hand in heaven1, (Psa. 110:1) 21 far above all cherubs2, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every
name having been named3, not only in this age, but also in the coming age; 22 and "He put all things under His feet" and gave Him to be Head over all
things to the Congregation, (Psa. 8:6) 23 which is His body: the fullness of the One filling all things and everything;
