Judges 13:14 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 13:14

She may not eat of anything that cometh from the vine,
&c.] Grapes moist or dried, kernels, or husks, or anything made of them:

neither let her drink wine, or strong drink;
as she was to be careful to abstain from such liquors, so her husband also is enjoined not to suffer her to drink any:

nor eat any unclean thing;
which was so by the law of Moses, and particularly by the law of the Nazarites:

all that I commanded her, let her observe;
both with respect to herself and the child.

Judges 13:14 In-Context

12 Then Manoah said, Now let thy word come to pass. How shall we order the child, and what shall he do?

13 And the angel of the LORD replied unto Manoah, Let the woman keep herself from all that I said.

14 She may not eat of any thing that comes of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her keep.

15 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.

16 And the angel of the LORD replied unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread, but if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, sacrifice it unto the LORD. For Manoah did not know that this was the angel of the LORD.
