Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

13:8-14 Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet, as Manoah, have believed. Good men are more careful and desirous to know the duty to be done by them, than to know the events concerning them: duty is ours, events are God's. God will guide those by his counsel, who desire to know their duty, and apply to him to teach them. Pious parents, especially, will beg Divine assistance. The angel repeats the directions he had before given. There is need of much care for the right ordering both of ourselves and our children, that we may be duly separate from the world, and living sacrifices to the Lord.


Pulpit Commentary

Verse 14. - She may not eat of anything, etc. Nearly the identical words of Numbers 6:4.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

She may not eat of anything that cometh from the vine,.... Grapes moist or dried, kernels, or husks, or anything made of them:

neither let her drink wine, or strong drink; as she was to be careful to abstain from such liquors, so her husband also is enjoined not to suffer her to drink any:

nor eat any unclean thing; which was so by the law of Moses, and particularly by the law of the Nazarites:

all that I commanded her, let her observe; both with respect to herself and the child.
