📚 Historical Context
In the book of Judges, which recounts the period of Israel's history after the conquest of Canaan, the nation was under the oppression of the Philistines due to their repeated unfaithfulness to God. An angel of the Lord had appeared to Manoah's wife, who was barren, announcing that she would bear a son dedicated as a Nazirite to begin delivering Israel. Manoah, upon hearing this from his wife, sought out the angel to verify the message and understand God's plan.
