Judges 13:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 because you will conceive and bear a son. No razor will touch[a] his head, because the boy will be a Nazirite of God[b] from birth.[c] And it is he who will begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines.” 6 And the woman came and told her husband, saying, “A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of an angel of God, very awesome. I did not ask him from where he came, and he did not tell me his name. 7 And he said to me, ‘Look, you will conceive and bear a son, so then, do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean, for the boy will be a Nazirite of God from birth[d] until the day of his death.’”

5 You will become pregnant and have a son(A) whose head is never to be touched by a razor(B) because the boy is to be a Nazirite,(C) dedicated to God from the womb. He will take the lead(D) in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines.”
6 Then the woman went to her husband and told him, “A man of God(E) came to me. He looked like an angel of God,(F) very awesome.(G) I didn’t ask him where he came from, and he didn’t tell me his name. 7 But he said to me, ‘You will become pregnant and have a son. Now then, drink no wine(H) or other fermented drink(I) and do not eat anything unclean, because the boy will be a Nazirite of God from the womb until the day of his death.(J)’”
