Judges 13:6-8
International Standard Version
6 Then the woman went to tell her husband. She said, “A man of God appeared[a] to me. He looked like what an angel of God would look like—very frightening.[b] I didn’t ask him where he had come from and he didn’t tell me his name. 7 He told me, ‘Surprise!—you’re going to conceive and give birth to a son!’ and as for you, ‘Be sure that you don’t drink wine or anything intoxicating, and don’t eat anything unclean,’ ‘because the young man will be a Nazirite dedicated to God from inside the womb’ until the day he dies.”
8 So Manoah prayed to the Lord, “Please, Lord, have the man of God whom you sent before[c] come again so he can instruct us what to do on behalf of the child who is to be born.”
