Subject: Nazorite vows - who all took

Bible Note: Searcher

I am confused, I thought only men could take a vow of being a Nazarite?

In the case of Samson's mother an angel told her to do certain things saying Samson would have to be a Nazarite, not her. But she did the deeds of a Nazarite so is that why you mention her?

In the case of Hannah she made her vow to the Lord at the doorpost to make sure of if God gave her a son, her son would be a Nazarite. So is that really Hannah taking a Nazarite vow, or is it Hannah taking a vow that her son will be one if she can get one?

I agree with you about the hair. According to the instructions in Numbers 6 one cannot have a rozor pass the head to cut the hair. In Acts 18:8, and in Acts 21:24 Paul is about to get his head shaved, or get the head of his followers shaved to fulfill a vow, but it can't be Nazarite because the heads get shaved.
