Judges 13:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ because—surprise!—you’re going to conceive and give birth to a son! Don’t put a razor to his head, because the young man will be a Nazirite, dedicated^[a] to God from inside the womb. He will begin to deliver Israel from domination by the Philistines.”

⁶ Then the woman went to tell her husband. She said, “A man of God appeared^[b] to me. He looked like what an angel of God would look like—very frightening.^[c] I didn’t ask him where he had come from and he didn’t tell me his name. ⁷ He told me, ‘Surprise!—you’re going to conceive and give birth to a son!’ and as for you, ‘Be sure that you don’t drink wine or anything intoxicating, and don’t eat anything unclean,’ ‘because the young man will be a Nazirite dedicated to God from inside the womb’ until the day he dies.”
