‘ And Manoah said, “Now let your words come about. What will be the ordering of this child, and what will be his work?” '
Manoah submitted humbly to Yahweh's will and sought further guidance on the bringing up of the child. How were they to bring him up? What was his future work to be?
“The ordering”. The word is mishpat usually meaning ‘judgment'. It may here mean ‘what is to be his mode of life' or ‘how should we bring him up'.
