Jud 13:4

← John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible — Judges

Jud 13:4

for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb; it is here added, what is not before expressed,

unto his death; for he was to be a perpetual Nazarite; some were only Nazarites for a time, for so many days or months, according to their vow; but this son was to be a Nazarite all his days, by the appointment of God; nor is it any objection to what is here said, that his hair was cut off before his death, which caused his Nazariteship to cease; since these words are not a prophecy, but a precept; and besides, that affair happened but a little before his death, he died quickly afterwards.
