You find that Moses alluded to the naziriteship of Samson in this portion, to teach you that there is no matter that is written in the Prophets and the Writings to which Moses did not allude in the Torah. “A man” (Numbers 6:2), this is the angel, who came to render Samson a nazirite, who was called a man, just as it says: “Are you the man who spoke to the woman?” (Judges 13:11). “He said: I am” (Judges 13:11).
The angel said to him: ‘You think of me that I am a man, but I am not a man; rather, I am an angel.’ Similarly, “He said: Are you my son Esau? He said: I am” (Genesis 27:24). I am not Esau, but rather, Jacob.67Meaning the word "I" can sometimes mean I am not who you think I am.
“Or a woman” (Numbers 6:2), it is because he first appeared only to the woman. “When…will articulate [yafli]” (Numbers 6:2), as his name is peli. “To take the vow of a nazirite to abstain for the Lord” (Numbers 6:2), “for the lad will be a nazirite of God” (Judges 13:5).
