Samson was chosen before he was even conceived. He had no merit, no skills, or knowledge. He wasn't chosen to be the judge of Israel because he was a righteous man, but because he was the man God needed for the job. If God calls you to a task, don't argue with him and don't fear your own weakness. His strength is sufficient for you to carry out his will. He knows what he needs. You don't.
Just like Sarah and Rachel centuries earlier, Samson's mother wasn't barren because of sin, but for God's glory. God's decision-making process incorporates wisdom and knowledge that we could never comprehend.
Judges 13
And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of YHVH, so YHVH gave them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.
Judges 13:1
God can't keep you if you refuse to keep His Law. Lawlessness is a dog whistle to Philistines (aka Palestinians). They'll hear it no matter how you try to hide.
If anyone dies very suddenly beside the Nazirite and he defiles his consecrated head...
Numbers 6:9
The Nazirite has not sinned by merely being in the presence of a dead body, however, the head covering formed by his hair has been tainted. He is to let the tainted hair grow out away from his scalp and then shave it completely off on the 7th day. On the 8th day, he is to bring a blood offering as a substitute covering, implying that there is more to long hair than mere symbolism, that there is a real spiritual dynamic involved in the wearing of both long hair and fabric head coverings.
All the days of a nazirite vow of separation, no razor shall touch his head. Until the time is completed for which he separates himself to the LORD, he shall be holy. He shall let the locks of hair of his head grow long.
Numbers 6:5
Biblically, long hair is a symbol of submission to authority. What do you suppose this implies for the Nazarite who is forbidden from cutting his hair.
A new Edition of The
Lawful Literal Version
LLV Bible is out now!
…a work in progress with over 70,000 improvements so far!
The whole text of LLV353 In the wilderness prepare_ye the way of YAH__ edition:
As far as the translator is aware, every name is now spelled with the aim of accurately reflecting the correct, historical pronunciations of these historical names according to modern phonetic English-alphabet transcription, e.g. ‘y’ not ‘j’ for the sound at the start of ‘yellow’, ‘w’ not ‘v’ for the sound at the start of ‘water’. The transcriptions in the LLV are aimed to be better than those of any English translation of Scripture made so far, because they consider not only the pointings of the medieval Hebrew texts but also the older transcriptions in Greek and Latin letters.
Please distribute freely, but only by sharing the link to this doc:

...When either a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to YHWH...
Numbers 6:2 ESV
A Nazarite vow is taken to consecrate one's life for service to God, usually for a definite period of time. A Nazarite holds no authority and, in fact, makes himself to be a servant, which is the literal meaning of "deacon."
Everyone, male and female, has a special role to play in serving God. That doesn't mean that everyone is to be a bishop, priest, etc. There are uncountable services to be performed for God and his people that do not require any special authority. Being called a Nazarite, a deacon, or a deaconess no more implies a position of authority than does being a volunteer at a soup kitchen.
