Commentary

Commentary on Judges 13:4

Theological / Devotional

Drink not wine. The mother was to take special care not to use any wine or intoxicating drink made from grapes. The health and character of this child, given by a direct providence of God, were to be safeguarded by the temperate habits of the mother from the time of its conception.

Strong drink. See on Gen. 9:21; Num. 6:3; 28:7; Deut. 14:26.

Unclean thing. It is likely that many Israelites were careless in observing the Levitical laws of clean and unclean foods; otherwise no special mention of this would have been necessary.
