TSNTyndale Study Notes:

13:3-5 Manoah’s wife was promised a son who was to be set aside from his birth as a Nazirite (see Num 6:1-21; cp. 1 Sam 1:11). The requirement that Samson’s hair must never be cut would be central to his story.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

And a razor will not go up on his head

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when behold,you conceive and,give_birth_to son and=(a)_razor not it_will_ascend on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=head that/for/because/then/when nazirite ʼElohīm will_belong the,boy from/more_than the,birth and=he begin to,deliver DOM Yisrael from,hand Pelishtim )

This is an expression that people of this culture commonly used to describe cutting the hair on a person’s head. Alternate translation: “He must never cut his hair”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

from the womb

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when behold,you conceive and,give_birth_to son and=(a)_razor not it_will_ascend on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=head that/for/because/then/when nazirite ʼElohīm will_belong the,boy from/more_than the,birth and=he begin to,deliver DOM Yisrael from,hand Pelishtim )

The author is using the term womb by association to mean “birth.” Alternate translation: “from birth”
