Samson told her all that was in his heart: “My hair has never been cut, because I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, my strength will leave me, and I will become as weak as any other man.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
He told her all his heart, and said to her, “No razor has ever come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will go from me, and I will become weak, and be like any other man.”
World English Bible (WEB)
That he told{H5046}{(H8686)} her all his heart{H3820}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto her, There hath not come{H5927}{(H8804)} a razor{H4177} upon mine head{H7218}; for I have been a Nazarite{H5139} unto God{H430} from my mother's{H517} womb{H990}: if I be shaven{H1548}{(H8795)}, then my strength{H3581} will go{H5493}{(H8804)} from me, and I shall become weak{H2470}{(H8804)}, and be like any other man{H120}.
