Special concepts in this chapter
Warning not to cut his hair
The angel of the Lord prophesied about Samson and gave instructions to Samson's mother. Samson's mother was to offer up her son under a Nazarite vow. This was a special type of vow, dedicating Samson to Yahweh. Part of this vow prohibited the cutting of the person's hair. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/vow)
