Judges 13:5-7
EasyEnglish Bible
5 Yes, you will give birth to a son. You must never cut the boy's hair. He is to be a Nazirite.[a] He will belong to God from the time that he is born. He will begin to rescue the Israelites from the power of the Philistines.’
6 The woman went quickly to tell her husband. She said, ‘A man of God came to me. He looked like an angel that God had sent with a message. I was afraid of him. I did not ask where he came from. He did not tell me his name. 7 He said to me, “You will become pregnant and you will give birth to a son. You must not drink any wine or beer. You must not eat any food that is unclean. The boy will belong to me as a Nazirite from his birth until the day that he dies!” ’
