Judges 13:1-7 (New Revised Standard)
1
The Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2
There was a certain man of Zorah, of the tribe of the Danites, whose name was Manoah. His wife was barren, having borne no children.
3
And the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, "Although you are barren, having borne no children, you shall conceive and bear a son.
4
Now be careful not to drink wine or strong drink, or to eat anything unclean,
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.' "
