Judges 13 is a short story that explains a lot. Samson's dad is Manoah. His mom is never named. An angel goes to his mom and tells her what's up. She believes him. Manoah doesn't know who this rando is. Even after the dude ascends in a fire. And Samson's unnamed mom is like, "really‽"

It's just wild we know the name of the dad but not the mom. Manoah's name got written down for all eternity. Like, "So a dumbass begat a dumbass." And his wife was like, "no you better keep my name outta this nonsense. "

naso was my bar mitzvah portion and the haftara (prophetic reading) for it is the annunciation of samson and i gotta say that story reads like a scene from the simpsons. manoah is homer
