But wilt give unto thy handmaid She thrice calls herself God's handmaid, out of a profound sense of her meanness, and his majesty. And she desires a man-child, because only such could wait upon the Lord in the service of the tabernacle, as she intended her son should do, if God bestowed one upon her. Then will I give him unto the Lord That is, consecrate him to his service in his house. No razor shall come upon his head He shall be a perpetual Nazarite, part of whose description this is, Numbers 6:5.
