Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean [thing]:	For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
