Aber er sprach zu mir: Siehe, du wirst empfangen und einen Sohn gebären; so trink nun weder Wein noch starkes Getränk und iß nichts Unreines; denn der Knabe soll ein Nasiräer Gottes sein von Mutterleibe an bis zum Tage seines Todes.
Und er sprach zu mir: Siehe, du wirst schwanger werden und einen Sohn gebären; und nun, trinke weder Wein noch starkes Getränk, und iß nichts Unreines; denn ein Nasir Gottes soll der Knabe sein von Mutterleibe an bis zum Tage seines Todes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But he said unto me, behold, thou shalt conceive and bear a son,.... She says nothing of her barrenness, which the angel took notice of to her, that having been to her reproach:
and now drink no wine nor strong drink; neither new wine nor old wine; so the Targum as before:
neither eat any unclean thing; which was so in a ceremonial sense; otherwise every creature of God is good, and not to be called common or unclean; it here respects what was forbidden Nazarites to eat; see
Judges 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.
