“he is to abstain from wine and strong drink. He must not drink vinegar made from wine or strong drink, and he must not drink any grape juice or eat fresh grapes or raisins.”

“Now please be careful not to drink wine or strong drink, and not to eat anything unclean.”

“So the angel of the LORD answered Manoah, “Your wife is to do everything I told her.”

“She must not eat anything that comes from the vine, nor drink any wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean. She must do everything I have commanded her.””

“By order of the king, no limit was placed on the drinking, and every official of his household was to serve each man whatever he desired.”
