The Birth of Samson

Judges 13:2-7

And there is a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danite, and his name is Manoah, his wife is barren, and hath not borne;

and a messenger of Jehovah appeareth unto the woman, and saith unto her, `Lo, I pray thee, thou art barren, and hast not borne; when thou hast conceived, then thou hast borne a son.

And, now, take heed, I pray thee, and do not drink wine, and strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing,

for, lo, thou art conceiving and bearing a son, and a razor doth not go up on his head, for a Nazarite to God is the youth from the womb, and he doth begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.'

And the woman cometh and speaketh to her husband, saying, `A man of God hath come unto me, and his appearance is as the appearance of a messenger of God, very fearful, and I have not asked him whence he is , and his name he hath not declared to me;

and he saith to me, Lo, thou art pregnant, and bearing a son, and now do not drink wine and strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing, for a Nazarite to God is the youth from the womb till the day of his death.'
