Context — The Birth of Samson
1Again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD, so He delivered them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.
2Now there was a man from Zorah named Manoah, from the clan of the Danites, whose wife was barren and had no children.
3The angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, “It is true that you are barren and have no children; but you will conceive and give birth to a son.
4Now please be careful not to drink wine or strong drink, and not to eat anything unclean. 5For behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son. And no razor shall touch his head, because the boy will be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”Cross References

Judges 13:3 Summary
This verse tells us that the angel of the LORD appeared to a woman who was unable to have children and promised her that she would have a son. This is a reminder that God is able to do the impossible, just like He did for Sarah in Genesis 21:1-7 and for Elizabeth in Luke 1:5-25. The woman's story encourages us to trust in God's power and promises, even when our circumstances seem hopeless. By trusting in God's faithfulness, we can receive new life and purpose, just like the woman received the promise of a son.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the angel of the LORD appear to the woman and not to her husband, Manoah?
The Bible does not give a specific reason, but it is possible that God wanted to emphasize the woman's role in receiving the promise, similar to the way He spoke to Sarah in Genesis 18:10 and to Hannah in 1 Samuel 1:17-18.
What is the significance of the angel of the LORD appearing to the woman?
The appearance of the angel of the LORD is a significant event, as it is a manifestation of God's presence and a sign of His favor, as seen in other instances such as Exodus 3:2 and Judges 6:11-12.
How did the woman know that the message was from God and not just a human messenger?
The text does not explicitly state how the woman knew, but it is likely that the angel's appearance and words carried an unmistakable sense of divine authority, similar to the way the prophets received messages from God in Isaiah 6:1-5 and Ezekiel 1:1-3.
What is the significance of the woman being barren and having no children?
The woman's barrenness highlights God's power to overcome human limitations, as seen in other biblical accounts such as Sarah in Genesis 21:1-7 and Elizabeth in Luke 1:5-25, where God enables women to bear children despite their age or physical condition.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I feel barren or unfruitful, and how can I trust God to bring new life and purpose?
- How do I respond to unexpected or surprising messages from God, and what are some ways I can cultivate a deeper sense of listening to His voice?
- In what ways can I, like the woman, receive a promise from God and trust in His faithfulness to fulfill it, even when it seems impossible?
- What are some ways I can apply the principle of trusting God's promises in my daily life, despite my own limitations or circumstances?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Judges 13:3
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Judges 13:3
The angel of the Lord; the Son of God, oft so called in the Old Testament, as may be gathered from , yet distinguished from the Lord, because he appeared here as it were in the form of a servant, as a messenger sent from God, and was really a distinct person from God the Father.
Trapp's Commentary on Judges 13:3
Judges 13:3 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou [art] barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.Ver. 3. And the angel of the Lord,] i.e., Christ the Angel of the Covenant, called afterwards by Manoah Elohim, and by his wife Jehovah, and by himself Wonderful. Behold now, thou art barren.] See Judges 13:2. And bear a son.] A singular son, a Nazarite; such as should be "purer than snow, whiter than milk," drained from the dregs, and sifted from the bran of the ordinary sort of people.
Ellicott's Commentary on Judges 13:3
(3) The angel of the Lord.—On this expression see Judges 2:1. Rabbi Levi Ben Gershom says that this “messenger of the Lord” was Phinehas; but nothing can be clearer than that, as in Judges 6:11, Genesis 18:10, Luke 1:11-28, a supernatural being is meant.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Judges 13:3
