Read Judges 13.1-7
In 13.1-7: Samson's birth foretold.
In verse 3: The angel of the Lord represents the Lord's visible presence.
In verse 4: Wine or strong drink (Num 6.3) were forbidden to a nazirite.
She was to keep away from these because her unborn son must be untouched by them.
In verse 5: A nazirite lived a special life style dedicated to God's purposes (Num 6.1-21;1 Sam 1.11).
Normally nazirites took a temporary vow of dedication: Samson was to be a permanent nazirite from birth.
In verse 6: She supposes she has encountered a man of God, that is a prophet, but from his striking appearance she comes close to sensing the actual truth- that he was a divine messenger.
