"Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD . . ." (Num. 6:2) "Nazarite" is a Hebrew word meaning a "consecrated" or "devoted one," from a root meaning "to consecrate" or "separate [oneself]." It referred to a class of people, both men and women, who renounced the pleasures of the world to be unreservedly dedicated to the Lord. They abstained from wine and grape juice, avoided touching the dead, and allowed their hair to grow long without cutting it. This was an exemplary form of sanctification, or setting apart for divine service. It could be for a temporary period of time or permanently, as in the cases of Samuel and Sampson. (1 Sam. 1:11; Judges 13:5) A Christian today, not being under the law of Moses, would not take a Nazarite vow, but there are those who promise to serve God in special capacities such as pastors and missionaries. | ||||||
