Votary

A votary is a person who is bound by solemn religious vows, as a monk or a nun.

Samson was commissioned before birth to be a type of votary known as a Nazirite.

" For behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and no razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines." (Judges 13:5, NASB)
