Judges 13:5-7
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
5 for you shall conceive and bear a son. No razor is to come on his head, for the boy shall be a nazirite[a] to God from birth. It is he who shall begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines.’ 6 Then the woman came and told her husband, ‘A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like that of an angel[b] of God, most awe-inspiring; I did not ask him where he came from, and he did not tell me his name; 7 but he said to me, “You shall conceive and bear a son. So then drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for the boy shall be a nazirite[c] to God from birth to the day of his death.”’

Judges 13:5-7
New International Version
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)’”
