² “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man or woman wants to make a special vow^(A), a vow of dedication^(B) to the Lord as a Nazirite,^{(C) 3} they must abstain from wine^(D) and other fermented drink and must not drink vinegar^(E) made from wine or other fermented drink. They must not drink grape juice or eat grapes^(F) or raisins. ⁴ As long as they remain under their Nazirite vow, they must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins.

⁴ Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink^(A) and that you do not eat anything unclean.^{(B) 5} You will become pregnant and have a son^(C) whose head is never to be touched by a razor^(D) because the boy is to be a Nazirite,^(E) dedicated to God from the womb. He will take the lead^(F) in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines.”
