Judges 13:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 because you will conceive and bear a son. No razor will touch[a] his head, because the boy will be a Nazirite of God[b] from birth.[c] And it is he who will begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines.” 6 And the woman came and told her husband, saying, “A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of an angel of God, very awesome. I did not ask him from where he came, and he did not tell me his name. 7 And he said to me, ‘Look, you will conceive and bear a son, so then, do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean, for the boy will be a Nazirite of God from birth[d] until the day of his death.’”
