Judges 13:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 13:3

The Birth of Samson

1 Again the children of Israel ^adid evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord delivered them ^binto the hand of the Philistines for forty years.

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.

7 And He said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. Now drink no wine or similar drink, nor eat anything unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’ ”
