Judges 13:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 For lo, thou shalt conceive and bear a son, and no razor shall (A)come on his head: for the child shall be a [a]Nazirite unto God from his birth: and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hands of the Philistines.
6 ¶ Then the wife came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and the fashion of him was like the fashion of the Angel of God exceedingly [b]fearful, but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name,
7 But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive and bear a son, and now thou shalt drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from his birth to the day of his death.
