In a case where one said: I am hereby a nazirite now, and I will be a nazirite when I will have a son, and he began counting his own term of naziriteship, i.e., his first vow, and afterward in the middle of this naziriteship period a son was born to him, he first completes his own initial term of naziriteship and afterward he counts the term of naziriteship he vowed on the condition of the birth of his son.

We explore the desire for male progeny over female in antiquity as well as the Dead Sea Scroll discovery of Genesis Apocryphon and the amazing wife of Lemech, Bitenosh and her desire to give him a son, Noah.
