Discussion Questions:

What was the evil the Israelites did in the sight of the Lord?

What similarities can you trace in Samson’s birth and Jesus’ birth?

Manoah’s wife’s name is never mentioned by anyone in the story. What might be the significance of this?

Manoah is fearful of meeting with God (v.22). Why should we be similarly fearful? What assurance can we have, like Manoah’s wife?
