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 So Manoah asked him, “When your words are fulfilled, what is to be the rule that governs the boy’s life and work?”

13 The angel of the LORD answered, “Your wife must do all that I have told her.

14 She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, nor drink any wine or other fermented drink nor eat anything unclean. She must do everything I have commanded her.”

15 Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, “We would like you to stay until we prepare a young goat for you.”

16 The angel of the LORD replied, “Even though you detain me, I will not eat any of your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, offer it to the LORD.” (Manoah did not realize that it was the angel of the LORD.)
