Judges 13:2-7

2There was a certain man of 1Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had borne no children. 32Then the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, “Behold now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and give birth to a son. 4Now therefore, be careful 3not to drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing. 54For behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and no razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a 5Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines.” 6Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, “6A man of God came to me and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. And I did not ask him where he came from, nor did he tell me his name. 7But he said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and now you shall not drink wine or strong drink nor eat any unclean thing, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’”
