An ApplicationThe angel tells the unnamed woman to start acting like a Nazarite immediately, because her son was to be a Nazarite "from the womb." (The GNTD translated the word to "from birth" but in the original Hebrew it's really "from the womb", NIV and others recognize this). This is one of many Bible stories that support the pro-life and contradict the pro-abortion stance. The brief dialog between Manoah and his wife at the end is classic. He overreacts and his wife sets him straight (JDG 3:22-23).

Connect the DotsWhenever someone is born of a mother who was previously unable to conceive, there's going to be a story about them. (Samson, Samuel, John the Baptizer) / And then there's all the angelic interactions in this chapter, which give us a sample of the humility and reverence angels have, unlike the angels Hollywood invents.
