2There was a certain man from Zorah, from the clan of the Danites, and his name was Manoah. His wife was barren and had not borne children.

3And the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, “Look, please—you are barren and have not borne children, but you will conceive and bear a son.”

4Now please be careful, and do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean.

5For behold, you are pregnant and will bear a son. No razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a Nazirite of God from the womb, and he will begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines.
