Judges 13:4 - John Wesley's Notes

Judges 13:4

2 Now there was a certain man from ^aZorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had no children.

3 And the ^aAngel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, “Indeed now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and bear a son.

4 Now therefore, please be careful ^anot to drink wine or similar drink, and not to eat anything unclean.

5 For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no ^arazor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be ^ba Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall ^cbegin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”

6 So the woman came and told her husband, saying, ^a“A Man of God came to me, and His ^bcountenance was like the countenance of the Angel of God, very awesome; but I ^cdid not ask Him where He was from, and He did not tell me His name.

Judges 13:4

Beware - Because the child was to be a Nazarite from the womb, Judges 13:5, and from the conception; and because the mother's pollution extends to the child, she is enjoined from this time to observe the following rules belonging to the Nazarites. Strong drink - Under which are comprehended the other particulars mentioned, Numbers 6:2-4. Nor eat - Any of those meats forbidden, Lev. 11:1-47, which were forbidden to all, but especially to the Nazarites.
