Judges 13:20

²⁰For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.

Judges 13 introduces Samson's miraculous birth, a pivotal moment in Israel's cycle of apostasy and deliverance. After forty years of Philistine oppression, an angel announces to a barren couple, Manoah and his wife, that they will have a son who will begin to rescue Israel. The angel provides specific instructions for the child's upbringing as a Nazirite, setting the stage for Samson's unique, yet ultimately tragic, role as a judge.
