but he said to me, Behold, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing; for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
"What does he [God] do when he has a people who refuse to forsake Baal and have no desire to forsake Philistia? A people grown so used to bondage they don’t even have sense to call out for relief? At least here the very God who judges them (Judges 13:1 b) begins to work their deliverance-anyway (Judges 13:2-5). That is grace-grace greater than all our sin, than all our stupidity, than all our density." [Note: Davis, p. 160.]
