Judg 13:3-5 | MHM | STEP | v. 3–5 : An angel of the Lord appeared to Samson’s mother and told her she would conceive and give birth to a son. The angel’s appearance was majestic, and his message brought joy. He told her that her son would be a Nazarite from birth, set apart for God’s service. Because of this, she was instructed not to drink wine or eat anything unclean during her pregnancy (Judges 13:3-5 ). Samson’s Nazarite vow symbolized holiness and complete devotion to God (Numbers 6:2 ). The angel also foretold that Samson would begin to deliver Israel from the Philistines, though the full deliverance would come later. This showed that God often works through a series of people and events to accomplish His plans.
