Hakim-hakim 12:3

Hakim-hakim 13:7
Konteks13:7 He said to me, ‘Look, you will conceive and have a son. 5 So now, do not drink wine or beer and do not eat any food that will make you ritually unclean. 6 For the child will be dedicated 7 to God from birth till the day he dies.’”

[12:3] 2 tn Heb “I put my life in my hand.”
