Shoftim Perek 13

• The Plishtim oppressed Yisrael for forty years.

• An angel appeared to the wife of Manoach.

• The angel told her that she would finally be blessed with a child after many years of not having been able to have children.

• The angel warned the wife of Manoach not to eat anything impure, nor drink wine. The child would be a Nazir.

• Manoach expressed a desire to see the angel and confirm the news that was delivered to his wife.

• Manoach brought a sacrifice after hearing the good news.

• Manoach and his wife understood that they had indeed spoken to angel, and not to a “man of G-d” as they had originally thought.

• Manoach’s wife calmed Manoach down.

• The baby Shimshon was born.
