"Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:" — Judges 13:4 (ASV)

Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor
strong drink
Any liquor inebriating and intoxicating, neither new wine nor old wine, as the Targum, and so Jarchi; the reason of this appears in the next verse, because the child she should conceive and bear was to be a Nazarite, and to be one from his mother's womb; and from all such liquors, Nazarites, according to the law, were to abstain, (Numbers 6:3)
