AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 18:18 ¶ Paul stayed for a while longer, and then told the brothers and sisters goodbye and sailed for Syria; and he was accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. At Cenchrea [the southeastern port of Corinth] he had his hair cut, because he was keeping a [Nazirite] vow [of abstention]. |
Subject: Nazorite vows - who all took |
Bible Note: Greetings peacebestill! According to the law of the Nazirite, when the days of separation are fulfilled (Numbers 6:13) the Nazirite shall then among other things (Numbers 6:13-17) shave his head of hair (Numbers 6:18). So Paul getting his head shaved does not exclude the vow from being the Nazirite vow. If indeed the vow was a Nazirite vow, it would be part of the requirements of the Nazirite law to do so. Steve |
