In instructing this one mother, the Lord gave a lesson to all who should be mothers to the close of time. Had the wife of Manoah followed the prevailing customs, her system would have been weakened by violation of nature’s laws, and her child would have suffered with her the penalty of transgression (The Gospel Herald, February 1880). {2BC 1005.8}

Da Herren instruerede denne ene moder, gav Herren en lektie til alle som vil være mødre i endens tid. Havde Manoas (1006) hustru fulgt de fremherskende skikke, ville hendes organisme være svækket af naturens love, og hendes barn ville have lidt overtrædelsens straf sammen med hende. (GH febr., 1880).
