    4Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:

    5for, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come upon his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.

    12And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and [how] shall we do unto him?

    13And the angel of Jehovah said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
