| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The law of the Nazarite is appropriately added to other enactments which concern the sanctity of the holy nation. That sanctity found its highest expression in the Nazarite vow, which was the voluntary adoption for a time of obligations to high and strict modes of self-dedication resembling, and indeed in some particulars exceeding, those under which the priests were placed. The present enactments do not institute a new kind of observance, but only regulate one already familiar to the Israelites Num 6:2.
Num 6:2
A Nazarite - Strictly, Nazirite. This term signifies "separated" i. e., as the words following show, "unto God." It became a technical term at an early date; compare Jdg 13:5, Jdg 13:7; Jdg 16:17.
Num 6:3
Liquor of grapes - i. e. a drink made of grape-skins macerated in water.
Num 6:4
From the kernels even to the husk - A sour drink was made from the stones of unripe grapes; and cakes were also made of the husks Hos 3:1. This interdict figures that separation from the general society of men to which the Nazarite for the time was consecrated.
Num 6:5
Among the Jews the abundance of the hair was considered to betoken physical strength and perfection (compare Sa2 14:25-26), and baldness was regarded as a grave blemish (compare Lev 21:20 note, Lev 13:40 ff; Kg2 2:23; Isa 3:24). Thus, the free growth of the hair on the head of the Nazarite represented the dedication of the man with all his strength and powers to the service of God.
Num 6:7
The consecration of his God - i. e. the unshorn locks: compare Lev 25:5 note, where the vine, left during the Sabbatical year untouched by the hand of man, either for pruning or for vintage, is called simply a "Nazarite."
The third rule of the Nazarite interdicted him from contracting any ceremonial defilement even under circumstances which excused such defilement in others: compare Lev 21:1-3.
Num 6:9-12
Prescriptions to meet the case of a sudden death taking place "by him" (i. e. in his presence). The days of the dedication of the Nazarite had to be recommenced.
Num 6:13
When the days of his separation are fulfilled - Perpetual Nazariteship was probably unknown in the days of Moses; but the examples of Samson, Samuel, and John the Baptist, show that it was in later times undertaken for life. Again, Moses does not expressly require that limits should be assigned to the vow; but a rule was afterward imposed that no Nazarite vow should be taken for less than thirty days. To permit the vow to be taken for very short periods would diminish its solemnity and estimation.
Num 6:14, Num 6:15
The sin-offering (compare the marginal references), though named second, was in practice offered first, being intended to expiate involuntary sins committed during the period of separation. The burnt-offering (Lev 1:10 ff) denoted the self-surrender on which alone all acceptableness in the Nazarite before God must rest; the peace-offerings (Lev 3:12 ff) expressed thankfulness to God by whose grace the vow had been fulfilled. The offerings, both ordinary and additional, required on the completion of the Nazarite vow involved considerable expense, and it was regarded as a pious work to provide the poor with the means of making them (compare Act 21:23 ff; 1 Macc. 3:49).
Num 6:18
Shave the head - As the Nazarite had during his vow worn his hair unshorn in honor of God, so when the time was complete it was natural that the hair, the symbol of his vow, should be cut off, and offered to God at the sanctuary. The burning of the hair "in the fire under the sacrifice of the peace offering "represented the eucharistic communion with God obtained by those who realised the ideal which the Nazarite set forth (compare the marginal reference).
Num 6:20
The priest shall wave them - i. e. by placing his hands under those of the Nazarite: compare Lev 7:30.
Num 6:21
Beside that that his hand shall get - The Nazarite, in addition to the offerings prescribed above, was to present free-will offerings according to his possessions or means. |

| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
The Nazarite. - The legal regulations concerning the vow of the Nazarite are appended quite appropriately to the laws intended to promote the spiritual order of the congregation of Israel. For the Nazarite brought to light the priestly character of the covenant nation in a peculiar form, which had necessarily to be incorporated into the spiritual organization of the community, so that it might become a means of furthering the sanctification of the people in covenant with the Lord.
(Note: The rules of the Talmud are found in the tract. Nasir in the Mishnah. See also Lundius, jd. Heiligthmer, B. iii. p. 53. Bhr, Symbolik, ii. pp. 430ff.; Hengstenberg, Egypt and the Books of Moses, pp. 190ff. My Archaeologie, i. 67; and Herzog's Cyclopaedia.)
Num 6:1-2
The words, "if a man or woman make a separate vow, a Nazarite vow, to live consecrated to the Lord," with which the law is introduced, show not only that the vow of the Nazarite was a matter of free choice, but that it was a mode of practising godliness and piety already customary among the people. Nazir, from נזר to separate, lit., the separated, is applied to the man who vowed that he would make a separation to (for) Jehovah, i.e., lead a separate life for the Lord and His service. The origin of this custom is involved in obscurity. There is no certain clue to indicate that it was derived from Egypt, for the so-called hair-offering vows are met with among several ancient tribes (see the proofs in Spencer, de legg. Hebr. rit. iv. 16, and Knobel in loc.), and have no special relationship to the Nazarite, whilst vows of abstinence were common to all the religions of antiquity. The Nazarite vow was taken at first for a particular time, at the close of which the separation terminated with release from the vow. This is the only form in which it is taken into consideration, or rules are laid down for it in the law before us. In after times, however, we find life-long Nazarites among the Israelites, e.g., Samson, Samuel, and John the Baptist, who were vowed or dedicated to the Lord by their parents even before they were born (Jdg 13:5, Jdg 13:14; Sa1 1:11; Luk 1:15).
(Note: This is also related by Hegesippus (in Euseb. hist. eccl. ii. 23) of James the Just, the first bishop of Jerusalem. On other cases of this kind in the Talmud, and particularly on the later form of the Nazarite vow, - for example, that of the Apostle Paul (Act 18:18), - see Winer, bibl. R. W. ii. pp. 138-9, and Oehler in Herzog's Cycl.)
Num 6:3-4
The vow consisted of the three following points, Num 6:1-4 : In the first place, he was to abstain from wine and intoxicating drink (shecar, see Lev 10:9); and neither to drink vinegar of wine, strong drink, nor any juice of the grape (lit., dissolving of grapes, i.e., fresh must pressed out), nor to eat fresh grapes, or dried (raisins). In fact, during the whole period of his vow, he was not to eat of anything prepared from the vine, "from the kernels even to the husk," i.e., not the smallest quantity of the fruit of the vine. The design of this prohibition can hardly have been, merely that, by abstaining from intoxicating drink, the Nazarite might preserve perfect clearness and temperance of mind, like the priests when engaged in their duties, and so conduct himself as one sanctified to the Lord (Bhr); but it goes much further, and embraces entire abstinence from all the deliciae carnis by which holiness could be impaired. Vinegar, fresh and dried grapes, and food prepared from grapes and raisins, e.g., raisin-cakes, are not intoxicating; but grape-cakes, as being the dainties sought after by epicures and debauchees, are cited in Hos 3:1 as a symbol of the sensual attractions of idolatry, a luxurious kind of food, that was not in harmony with the solemnity of the worship of Jehovah. The Nazarite was to avoid everything that proceeded from the vine, because its fruit was regarded as the sum and substance of all sensual enjoyments.
Num 6:5
Secondly, during the whole term of his vow of consecration, no razor was to come upon his head. Till the days were fulfilled which he had consecrated to the Lord, he was to be holy, "to make great the free growth (see Lev 10:6) of the hair of his head." The free growth of the hair is called, in Num 6:7, "the diadem of his God upon his head," like the golden diadem upon the turban of the high priest (Exo 29:6), and the anointing oil upon the high priest's head (Lev 21:12). By this he sanctified his head (Num 6:11) to the Lord, so that the consecration of the Nazarite culminated in his uncut hair, and expressed in the most perfect way the meaning of his vow (Oehler). Letting the hair grow, therefore, was not a sign of separation, because it was the Israelitish custom to go about with the hair cut; nor a practical profession of a renunciation of the world, and separation from human society (Hengstenberg, pp. 190-1); nor a sign of abstinence from every appearance of self-gratification (Baur on Amo 2:11); nor even a kind of humiliation and self-denial (Lightfoot, Carpzov. appar. p. 154); still less a "sign of dependence upon some other present power" (M. Baumgarten), or "the symbol of a state of perfect liberty" (Vitringa, obss. ss. 1, c. 6, 9; cf. Num 6:22, Num 6:8). The free growth of the hair, unhindered by the hand of man, was rather "the symbol of strength and abundant vitality" (cf. Sa2 14:25-26). It was not regarded by the Hebrews as a sign of sanctity, as Bhr supposes, but simply as an ornament, in which the whole strength and fulness of vitality were exhibited, and which the Nazarite wore in honour of the Lord, as a sign that he "belonged to the Lord, and dedicated himself to His service," with all his vital powers.
(Note: In support of this explanation, Oehler calls to mind those heathen hair-offerings of the Athenian youths, for example (Plut. Thes. c. 5), which were founded upon the idea, that the hair in general was a symbol of vital power, and the hair of the beard a sign of virility; and also more especially the example of Samson, whose hair was not only the symbol, but the vehicle, of the power which fitted him to be the deliverer of his people.)
Num 6:6-8
Because the Nazarite wore the diadem of his God upon his head in the growth of his hair, and was holy to the Lord during the whole period of his consecration, he was to approach no dead person during that time, not even to defile himself for his parents, or his brothers and sisters, when they died, according to the law laid down for the high priest in Lev 21:11. Consequently, as a matter of course, he was to guard most scrupulously against other defilements, not only like ordinary Israelites, but also like the priests. Samson's mother, too, was not allowed to eat anything unclean during the period of her pregnancy (Jdg 13:4, Jdg 13:7, Jdg 13:14).
Num 6:9-11
But if any one died suddenly in a moment "by him" (עליו, in his neighbourhood), and he therefore involuntarily defiled his consecrated head, he was to shave his head on the day of his purification, i.e., on the seventh day (see Num 19:11, Num 19:14, Num 19:16, and Num 19:19), not "because such uncleanness was more especially caught and retained by the hair," as Knobel fancies, but because it was the diadem of his God (Num 6:7), the ornament of his condition, which was sanctified to God. On the eighth day, that is to say, on the day after the legal purification, he was to bring to the priest at the tabernacle two turtle-doves or young pigeons, that he might make atonement for him (see at Lev 15:14-15, Lev 15:29., Num 14:30-31, and Num 12:8), on account of his having been defiled by a corpse, by preparing the one as a sin-offering, and the other as a burnt-offering; he was also "to sanctify his head that same day," i.e., to consecrate it to God afresh, by the unimpeded growth of his hair.
Num 6:12
He was then "to bring a yearling sheep as a trespass-offering;" and the days that were before were "to fall," i.e., the days of consecration that had already elapsed were not to be reckoned on account of their having fallen, "because his consecration had become unclean." He was therefore to commence the whole time of his consecration entirely afresh, and to observe it as required by the vow. To this end he was to bring a trespass-offering, as a payment or recompense for being reinstated in the former state of consecration, from which he had fallen through his defilement, but not as compensation "for having prolonged the days of separation through his carelessness with regard to the defilement; that is to say, for having extended the time during which he led a separate, retired, and inactive life, and suspended his duties to his own family and the congregation, thus doing an injury to them, and incurring a debt in relation to them through his neglect" (Knobel). For the time that the Nazarite vow lasted was not a lazy life, involving a withdrawal from the duties of citizenship, by which the congregation might be injured, but was perfectly reconcilable with the performance of all domestic and social duties, the burial of the dead alone excepted; and no harm could result from this, ether to his own relations or the community generally, of sufficient importance to require that the omission should be repaired by a trespass-offering, from which neither his relatives nor the congregation derived any actual advantage. Nor was it a species of fine, for having deprived Jehovah of the time dedicated to Him through the breach of the vow, or for withholding the payment of his vow for so much longer a time (Oehler in Herzog). For the position of a Nazarite was only assumed for a definite period, according to the vow; and after this had been interrupted, it had to be commenced again from the very beginning: so that the time dedicated to God was not shortened in any way by the interruption of the period of dedication, and nothing whatever was withheld from God of what had been vowed to Him, so as to need the presentation of a trespass-offering as a compensation or fine. And there is no more reason for saying that the payment of the vow was withheld, inasmuch as the vow was fulfilled or paid by the punctual observance of the three things of which it was composed; and the sacrifices to be presented after the time of consecration was over, had not in the least the character of a payment, but simply constituted a solemn conclusion, corresponding to the idea of the consecration itself, and were the means by which the Nazarite came out of his state of consecration, without involving the least allusion to satisfaction, or reparation for any wrong that had been done.
The position of the Nazarite, therefore, as Philo, Maimonides, and others clearly saw, was a condition of life consecrated to the Lord, resembling the sanctified relation in which the priests stood to Jehovah, and differing from the priesthood solely in the fact that it involved no official service at the sanctuary, and was not based upon a divine calling and institution, but was undertaken spontaneously for a certain time and through a special vow. The object was simply the realization of the idea of a priestly life, with its purity and freedom from all contamination from everything connected with death and corruption, a self-surrender to God stretching beyond the deepest earthly ties, "a spontaneous appropriation of what was imposed upon the priest by virtue of the calling connected with his descent, namely, the obligation to conduct himself as a person betrothed to God, and therefore to avoid everything that would be opposed to such surrender" (Oehler). In this respect the Nazarite's sanctification of life was a step towards the realization of the priestly character, which had been set before the whole nation as its goal at the time of its first calling (Exo 19:5); and although it was simply the performance of a vow, and therefore a work of perfect spontaneity, it was also a work of the Spirit of God which dwelt in the congregation of Israel, so that Amos could describe the raising up of Nazarites along with prophets as a special manifestation of divine grace. The offerings, with which the vow was brought to a close after the time of consecration had expired, and the Nazarite was released from his consecration, also corresponded to the character we have described.
Num 6:13-15
The directions as to the release from consecration are called "the law of the Nazarite" (Num 6:13), because the idea of the Nazarite's vows culminated in the sacrificial festival which terminated the consecration, and it was in this that it attained to its fullest manifestation. "On the day of the completion of the days of his consecration," i.e., on the day when the time of consecration expired, the Nazarite was to bring to the tabernacle, or offer as his gifts to the Lord, a sheep of a year old as a burnt-offering, and an ewe of a year old as a sin-offering; the latter as an expiation for the sins committed involuntarily during the period of consecration, the former as an embodiment of that surrender of himself, body and soul, to the Lord, upon which every act of worship should rest. In addition to this he was to bring a ram without blemish as a peace-offering, together with a basket of unleavened cakes and wafers baked, which were required, according to Lev 7:12, for every praise-offering, "and their meat and drink-offerings," i.e., the gifts of meal, oil, and wine, which belonged, according to Num 15:3., to the burnt-offerings and peace-offerings.
Num 6:16
The sin-offering and burnt-offering were carried out according to the general instructions.
Num 6:17
The completion of the consecration vow was concentrated in the preparation of the ram and the basket of unleavened bread for the peace-offering, along with the appropriate meat-offering and drink-offering.
Num 6:18
The Nazarite had also to shave his consecrated head, and put the hair into the altar-fire under the peace-offering that was burning, and thus hand over and sacrifice to the Lord the hair of his head which had been worn in honour of Him.
Num 6:19-20
When this had been done, the priest took the boiled shoulder of the ram, with an unleavened cake and wafer out of the basket, and placed these pieces in the hands of the Nazarite, and waved them before Jehovah. They then became the portion of the priest, in addition to the wave-breast and heave-leg which fell to the priest in the case of every peace-offering (Lev 7:32-34), to set forth the participation of the Lord in the sacrificial meal. But the fact that, in addition to these, the boiled shoulder was given up symbolically to the Lord through the process of waving, together with a cake and wafer, was intended to indicate that the table-fellowship with the Lord, shadowed forth in the sacrificial meal of the peace-offering, took place here in a higher degree; inasmuch as the Lord directed a portion of the Nazarite's meal to be handed over to His representatives and servants for them to eat, that he might thus enjoy the blessedness of having fellowship with his God, in accordance with that condition of priestly sanctity into which the Nazarite had entered through the vow that he had made.
Num 6:20
"After that the Nazarite may drink wine" (again), probably at the sacrificial meal, after the Lord had received His share of the sacrifice, and his release from consecration had thus been completed.
Num 6:21
"This is the law of the Nazarite, who vowed his sacrificial gifts to the Lord on the ground of his consecration," i.e., who offered his sacrifice in accordance with the state of a Nazarite into which he had entered. For the sacrifices mentioned in Num 6:14. were not the object of a special vow, but contained in the vow of the Nazarite, and therefore already vowed (Knobel). "Beside what his hand grasps," i.e., what he is otherwise able to perform (Lev 5:11), "according to the measure of his vow, which he vowed, so must he do according to the law of his consecration," i.e., he had to offer the sacrifices previously mentioned on the ground of his consecration vow. Beyond that he was free to vow anything else according to his ability, to present other sacrificial gifts to the Lord for His sanctuary and His servants, which did not necessarily belong to the vow of the Nazarite, but were frequently added. From this the custom afterwards grew up, that when poor persons took the Nazarite's vow upon them, those who were better off defrayed the expenses of the sacrifices (Act 21:24; Josephus, Ant. xix. 6, 1; Mishnah Nasir, ii. 5ff.). |
21 This is the law [08451] of the Nazarite [05139] who hath vowed [05087], and of his offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068] for his separation [05145], beside that that his hand [03027] shall get [05381]: according [06310] to the vow [05088] which he vowed [05087], so he must do [06213] after the law [08451] of his separation [05145].
30 His own hands [03027] shall bring [0935] the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801], the fat [02459] with the breast [02373], it shall he bring [0935], that the breast [02373] may be waved [05130] for a wave offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068].
20 And the priest [03548] shall wave [05130] them for a wave offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: this is holy [06944] for the priest [03548], with the wave [08573] breast [02373] and heave [08641] shoulder [07785]: and after [0310] that the Nazarite [05139] may drink [08354] wine [03196].
18 And the Nazarite [05139] shall shave [01548] the head [07218] of his separation [05145] at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and shall take [03947] the hair [08181] of the head [07218] of his separation [05145], and put [05414] it in the fire [0784] which is under the sacrifice [02077] of the peace offerings [08002].
23 Do [4160] therefore [3767] this [5124] that [3739] we say [3004] to thee [4671]: We [2254] have [1526] four [5064] men [435] which have [2171] a vow [2192] on [1909] them [1438];
12 And if his offering [07133] be a goat [05795], then he shall offer [07126] it before [06440] the LORD [03068].
10 And if his offering [07133] be of the flocks [06629], namely, of the sheep [03775], or of the goats [05795], for a burnt sacrifice [05930]; he shall bring [07126] it a male [02145] without blemish [08549].
15 And a basket [05536] of unleavened bread [04682], cakes [02471] of fine flour [05560] mingled [01101] with oil [08081], and wafers [07550] of unleavened bread [04682] anointed [04886] with oil [08081], and their meat offering [04503], and their drink offerings [05262].
14 And he shall offer [07126] his offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], one [0259] he lamb [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] without blemish [08549] for a burnt offering [05930], and one [0259] ewe lamb [03535] of the first [01323] year [08141] without blemish [08549] for a sin offering [02403], and one [0259] ram [0352] without blemish [08549] for peace offerings [08002],
13 And this is the law [08451] of the Nazarite [05139], when [03117] the days [03117] of his separation [05145] are fulfilled [04390]: he shall be brought [0935] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]:
9 And if any man [04191] die [04191] very [06621] suddenly [06597] by him, and he hath defiled [02930] the head [07218] of his consecration [05145]; then he shall shave [01548] his head [07218] in the day [03117] of his cleansing [02893], on the seventh [07637] day [03117] shall he shave [01548] it.
10 And on the eighth [08066] day [03117] he shall bring [0935] two [08147] turtles [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], to the priest [03548], to the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]:
11 And the priest [03548] shall offer [06213] the one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930], and make an atonement [03722] for him, for that [0834] he sinned [02398] by the dead [05315], and shall hallow [06942] his head [07218] that same day [03117].
12 And he shall consecrate [05144] unto the LORD [03068] the days [03117] of his separation [05145], and shall bring [0935] a lamb [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] for a trespass offering [0817]: but the days [03117] that were before [07223] shall be lost [05307], because his separation [05145] was defiled [02930].
1 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Speak [0559] unto the priests [03548] the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], and say [0559] unto them, There shall none be defiled [02930] for the dead [05315] among his people [05971]:
2 But for his kin [07607], that is near [07138] unto him, that is, for his mother [0517], and for his father [01], and for his son [01121], and for his daughter [01323], and for his brother [0251],
3 And for his sister [0269] a virgin [01330], that is nigh [07138] unto him, which hath had no husband [0376]; for her may he be defiled [02930].
5 That which groweth of its own accord [05599] of thy harvest [07105] thou shalt not reap [07114], neither gather [01219] the grapes [06025] of thy vine undressed [05139]: for it is a year [08141] of rest [07677] unto the land [0776].
7 He shall not make himself unclean [02930] for his father [01], or for his mother [0517], for his brother [0251], or for his sister [0269], when they die [04194]: because the consecration [05145] of his God [0430] is upon his head [07218].
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell [01314] there shall be stink [04716]; and instead of a girdle [02290] a rent [05364]; and instead of well set [04639] hair [04748] baldness [07144]; and instead of a stomacher [06614] a girding [04228] of sackcloth [08242]; and burning [03587] instead of beauty [03308].
23 And he went up [05927] from thence unto Bethel [01008]: and as he was going up [05927] by the way [01870], there came forth [03318] little [06996] children [05288] out of the city [05892], and mocked [07046] him, and said [0559] unto him, Go up [05927], thou bald head [07142]; go up [05927], thou bald head [07142].
40 And the man [0376] [03588] whose hair is fallen [04803] off his head [07218], he is bald [07142]; yet is he clean [02889].
20 Or crookbackt [01384], or a dwarf [01851], or that hath a blemish [08400] in his eye [05869], or be scurvy [01618], or scabbed [03217], or hath his stones [0810] broken [04790];
25 But in all Israel [03478] there was none [0376] to be so much [03966] praised [01984] as Absalom [053] for his beauty [03303]: from the sole [03709] of his foot [07272] even to the crown of his head [06936] there was no blemish [03971] in him.
26 And when he polled [01548] his head [07218], (for it was at every year's [03117] [03117] end [07093] that he polled [01548] it: because the hair was heavy [03513] on him, therefore he polled [01548] it:) he weighed [08254] the hair [08181] of his head [07218] at two hundred [03967] shekels [08255] after the king's [04428] weight [068].
5 All the days [03117] of the vow [05088] of his separation [05145] there shall no razor [08593] come [05674] upon his head [07218]: until the days [03117] be fulfilled [04390], in the which he separateth [05144] himself unto the LORD [03068], he shall be holy [06918], and shall let the locks [06545] of the hair [08181] of his head [07218] grow [01431].
1 Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] unto me, Go [03212] yet, love [0157] a woman [0802] beloved [0157] of her friend [07453], yet an adulteress [05003], according to the love [0160] of the LORD [03068] toward the children [01121] of Israel [03478], who look [06437] to other [0312] gods [0430], and love [0157] flagons [0809] of wine [06025].
4 All the days [03117] of his separation [05145] shall he eat [0398] nothing that is made [06213] of the vine [03196] tree [01612], from the kernels [02785] even to the husk [02085].
3 He shall separate [05144] himself from wine [03196] and strong drink [07941], and shall drink [08354] no vinegar [02558] of wine [03196], or vinegar [02558] of strong drink [07941], neither shall he drink [08354] any liquor [04952] of grapes [06025], nor eat [0398] moist [03892] grapes [06025], or dried [03002].
17 That he told [05046] her all his heart [03820], and said [0559] unto her, There hath not come [05927] a razor [04177] upon mine head [07218]; for I have been a Nazarite [05139] unto God [0430] from my mother's [0517] womb [0990]: if I be shaven [01548], then my strength [03581] will go [05493] from me, and I shall become weak [02470], and be like any other man [0120].
7 But he said [0559] unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive [02030], and bear [03205] a son [01121]; and now drink [07941] no wine [03196] nor strong drink [08354], neither eat [0398] any unclean [02932] thing: for the child [05288] shall be a Nazarite [05139] to God [0430] from the womb [0990] to the day [03117] of his death [04194].
5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive [02030], and bear [03205] a son [01121]; and no razor [04177] shall come [05927] on his head [07218]: for the child [05288] shall be a Nazarite [05139] unto God [0430] from the womb [0990]: and he shall begin [02490] to deliver [03467] Israel [03478] out of the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430].
2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When either man [0376] or woman [0802] shall separate [06381] themselves to vow [05087] a vow [05088] of a Nazarite [05139], to separate [05144] themselves unto the LORD [03068]:
2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When either man [0376] or woman [0802] shall separate [06381] themselves to vow [05087] a vow [05088] of a Nazarite [05139], to separate [05144] themselves unto the LORD [03068]:
12 Wherefore [1352] Jesus [2424] also [2532], that [2443] he might sanctify [37] the people [2992] with [1223] his own [2398] blood [129], suffered [3958] without [1854] the gate [4439].
13 Let us go forth [1831] therefore [5106] unto [4314] him [846] without [1854] the camp [3925], bearing [5342] his [846] reproach [3680].
14 For [1063] here [5602] have we [2192] no [3756] continuing [3306] city [4172], but [235] we seek one [1934] to come [3195].
15 By [1223] him [846] therefore [3767] let us offer [399] the sacrifice [2378] of praise [133] to God [2316] continually [1275], that is [5123], the fruit [2590] of our lips [5491] giving thanks [3670] to his [846] name [3686].
16 But [1161] to do good [2140] and [2532] to communicate [2842] forget [1950] not [3361]: for [1063] with such [5108] sacrifices [2378] God [2316] is well pleased [2100].
1 And it came to pass on the day [03117] that Moses [04872] had fully [03615] set up [06965] the tabernacle [04908], and had anointed [04886] it, and sanctified [06942] it, and all the instruments [03627] thereof, both the altar [04196] and all the vessels [03627] thereof, and had anointed [04886] them, and sanctified [06942] them;
2 That the princes [05387] of Israel [03478], heads [07218] of the house [01004] of their fathers [01], who were the princes [05387] of the tribes [04294], and were over [05975] them that were numbered [06485], offered [07126]:
3 And they brought [0935] their offering [07133] before [06440] the LORD [03068], six [08337] covered [06632] wagons [05699], and twelve [06240] oxen [01241]; a wagon [05699] for two [08147] of the princes [05387], and for each one [0259] an ox [07794]: and they brought [07126] them before [06440] the tabernacle [04908].
4 And the LORD [03068] spake [0559] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
5 Take [03947] it of them, that they may be to do [05647] the service [05656] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]; and thou shalt give [05414] them unto the Levites [03881], to every man [0376] according [06310] to his service [05656].
6 And Moses [04872] took [03947] the wagons [05699] and the oxen [01241], and gave [05414] them unto the Levites [03881].
7 Two [08147] wagons [05699] and four [0702] oxen [01241] he gave [05414] unto the sons [01121] of Gershon [01648], according [06310] to their service [05656]:
8 And four [0702] wagons [05699] and eight [08083] oxen [01241] he gave [05414] unto the sons [01121] of Merari [04847], according [06310] unto their service [05656], under the hand [03027] of Ithamar [0385] the son [01121] of Aaron [0175] the priest [03548].
9 But unto the sons [01121] of Kohath [06955] he gave [05414] none [03808]: because the service [05656] of the sanctuary [06944] belonging unto them was that they should bear [05375] upon their shoulders [03802].
10 And the princes [05387] offered [07126] for dedicating [02598] of the altar [04196] in the day [03117] that it was anointed [04886], even the princes [05387] offered [07126] their offering [07133] before [06440] the altar [04196].
11 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], They shall offer [07126] their offering [07133], each [0259] prince [05387] on his day [03117], for the dedicating [02598] of the altar [04196].

23 Speak [01696] unto Aaron [0175] and unto his sons [01121], saying [0559], On this wise [03541] ye shall bless [01288] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559] unto them,
24 The LORD [03068] bless [01288] thee, and keep [08104] thee:
25 The LORD [03068] make his face [06440] shine [0215] upon thee, and be gracious [02603] unto thee:
26 The LORD [03068] lift up [05375] his countenance [06440] upon thee, and give [07760] thee peace [07965].
27 And they shall put [07760] my name [08034] upon the children [01121] of Israel [03478]; and I will bless [01288] them.
13 And this is the law [08451] of the Nazarite [05139], when [03117] the days [03117] of his separation [05145] are fulfilled [04390]: he shall be brought [0935] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]:
14 And he shall offer [07126] his offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], one [0259] he lamb [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] without blemish [08549] for a burnt offering [05930], and one [0259] ewe lamb [03535] of the first [01323] year [08141] without blemish [08549] for a sin offering [02403], and one [0259] ram [0352] without blemish [08549] for peace offerings [08002],

17 And he shall offer [06213] the ram [0352] for a sacrifice [02077] of peace offerings [08002] unto the LORD [03068], with the basket [05536] of unleavened bread [04682]: the priest [03548] shall offer [06213] also his meat offering [04503], and his drink offering [05262].
18 And the Nazarite [05139] shall shave [01548] the head [07218] of his separation [05145] at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and shall take [03947] the hair [08181] of the head [07218] of his separation [05145], and put [05414] it in the fire [0784] which is under the sacrifice [02077] of the peace offerings [08002].

20 And the priest [03548] shall wave [05130] them for a wave offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: this is holy [06944] for the priest [03548], with the wave [08573] breast [02373] and heave [08641] shoulder [07785]: and after [0310] that the Nazarite [05139] may drink [08354] wine [03196].
21 This is the law [08451] of the Nazarite [05139] who hath vowed [05087], and of his offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068] for his separation [05145], beside that that his hand [03027] shall get [05381]: according [06310] to the vow [05088] which he vowed [05087], so he must do [06213] after the law [08451] of his separation [05145].
1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When either man [0376] or woman [0802] shall separate [06381] themselves to vow [05087] a vow [05088] of a Nazarite [05139], to separate [05144] themselves unto the LORD [03068]:
3 He shall separate [05144] himself from wine [03196] and strong drink [07941], and shall drink [08354] no vinegar [02558] of wine [03196], or vinegar [02558] of strong drink [07941], neither shall he drink [08354] any liquor [04952] of grapes [06025], nor eat [0398] moist [03892] grapes [06025], or dried [03002].
4 All the days [03117] of his separation [05145] shall he eat [0398] nothing that is made [06213] of the vine [03196] tree [01612], from the kernels [02785] even to the husk [02085].
5 All the days [03117] of the vow [05088] of his separation [05145] there shall no razor [08593] come [05674] upon his head [07218]: until the days [03117] be fulfilled [04390], in the which he separateth [05144] himself unto the LORD [03068], he shall be holy [06918], and shall let the locks [06545] of the hair [08181] of his head [07218] grow [01431].
6 All the days [03117] that he separateth [05144] himself unto the LORD [03068] he shall come [0935] at no dead [04191] body [05315].
7 He shall not make himself unclean [02930] for his father [01], or for his mother [0517], for his brother [0251], or for his sister [0269], when they die [04194]: because the consecration [05145] of his God [0430] is upon his head [07218].
8 All the days [03117] of his separation [05145] he is holy [06918] unto the LORD [03068].
9 And if any man [04191] die [04191] very [06621] suddenly [06597] by him, and he hath defiled [02930] the head [07218] of his consecration [05145]; then he shall shave [01548] his head [07218] in the day [03117] of his cleansing [02893], on the seventh [07637] day [03117] shall he shave [01548] it.
10 And on the eighth [08066] day [03117] he shall bring [0935] two [08147] turtles [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], to the priest [03548], to the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]:
11 And the priest [03548] shall offer [06213] the one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930], and make an atonement [03722] for him, for that [0834] he sinned [02398] by the dead [05315], and shall hallow [06942] his head [07218] that same day [03117].
12 And he shall consecrate [05144] unto the LORD [03068] the days [03117] of his separation [05145], and shall bring [0935] a lamb [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] for a trespass offering [0817]: but the days [03117] that were before [07223] shall be lost [05307], because his separation [05145] was defiled [02930].
24 Them [5128] take [3880], and purify thyself [48] with [4862] them [846], and [2532] be at charges [1159] with [1909] them [846], that [2443] they may shave [3587] their heads [2776]: and [2532] all [3956] may know [1097] that those things [3754], whereof [3739] they were informed [2727] concerning [4012] thee [4675], are [2076] nothing [3762]; but [235] that thou thyself [846] also [2532] walkest orderly [4748], and keepest [5442] the law [3551].
11 But if he [03027] be not able to bring [05381] two [08147] turtledoves [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], then he that sinned [02398] shall bring [0935] for his offering [07133] the tenth [06224] part of an ephah [0374] of fine flour [05560] for a sin offering [02403]; he shall put [07760] no oil [08081] upon it, neither shall he put [05414] any frankincense [03828] thereon: for it is a sin offering [02403].
14 And he shall offer [07126] his offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], one [0259] he lamb [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] without blemish [08549] for a burnt offering [05930], and one [0259] ewe lamb [03535] of the first [01323] year [08141] without blemish [08549] for a sin offering [02403], and one [0259] ram [0352] without blemish [08549] for peace offerings [08002],
21 This is the law [08451] of the Nazarite [05139] who hath vowed [05087], and of his offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068] for his separation [05145], beside that that his hand [03027] shall get [05381]: according [06310] to the vow [05088] which he vowed [05087], so he must do [06213] after the law [08451] of his separation [05145].
20 And the priest [03548] shall wave [05130] them for a wave offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: this is holy [06944] for the priest [03548], with the wave [08573] breast [02373] and heave [08641] shoulder [07785]: and after [0310] that the Nazarite [05139] may drink [08354] wine [03196].
32 And the right [03225] shoulder [07785] shall ye give [05414] unto the priest [03548] for an heave offering [08641] of the sacrifices [02077] of your peace offerings [08002].
33 He among the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], that offereth [07126] the blood [01818] of the peace offerings [08002], and the fat [02459], shall have the right [03225] shoulder [07785] for his part [04490].
34 For the wave [08573] breast [02373] and the heave [08641] shoulder [07785] have I taken [03947] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] from off the sacrifices [02077] of their peace offerings [08002], and have given [05414] them unto Aaron [0175] the priest [03548] and unto his sons [01121] by a statute [02706] for ever [05769] from among the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
19 And the priest [03548] shall take [03947] the sodden [01311] shoulder [02220] of the ram [0352], and one [0259] unleavened [04682] cake [02471] out of the basket [05536], and one [0259] unleavened [04682] wafer [07550], and shall put [05414] them upon the hands [03709] of the Nazarite [05139], after [0310] the hair of his separation [05145] is shaven [01548]:
20 And the priest [03548] shall wave [05130] them for a wave offering [08573] before [06440] the LORD [03068]: this is holy [06944] for the priest [03548], with the wave [08573] breast [02373] and heave [08641] shoulder [07785]: and after [0310] that the Nazarite [05139] may drink [08354] wine [03196].
18 And the Nazarite [05139] shall shave [01548] the head [07218] of his separation [05145] at the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and shall take [03947] the hair [08181] of the head [07218] of his separation [05145], and put [05414] it in the fire [0784] which is under the sacrifice [02077] of the peace offerings [08002].
17 And he shall offer [06213] the ram [0352] for a sacrifice [02077] of peace offerings [08002] unto the LORD [03068], with the basket [05536] of unleavened bread [04682]: the priest [03548] shall offer [06213] also his meat offering [04503], and his drink offering [05262].
16 And the priest [03548] shall bring [07126] them before [06440] the LORD [03068], and shall offer [06213] his sin offering [02403], and his burnt offering [05930]:
3 And will make [06213] an offering by fire [0801] unto the LORD [03068], a burnt offering [05930], or a sacrifice [02077] in performing [06381] a vow [05088], or in a freewill offering [05071], or in your solemn feasts [04150], to make [06213] a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto the LORD [03068], of the herd [01241], or of the flock [06629]:
12 If he offer [07126] it for a thanksgiving [08426], then he shall offer [07126] with the sacrifice [02077] of thanksgiving [08426] unleavened [04682] cakes [02471] mingled [01101] with oil [08081], and unleavened [04682] wafers [07550] anointed [04886] with oil [08081], and cakes [02471] mingled [01101] with oil [08081], of fine flour [05560], fried [07246].
13 And this is the law [08451] of the Nazarite [05139], when [03117] the days [03117] of his separation [05145] are fulfilled [04390]: he shall be brought [0935] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]:
13 And this is the law [08451] of the Nazarite [05139], when [03117] the days [03117] of his separation [05145] are fulfilled [04390]: he shall be brought [0935] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]:
14 And he shall offer [07126] his offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], one [0259] he lamb [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] without blemish [08549] for a burnt offering [05930], and one [0259] ewe lamb [03535] of the first [01323] year [08141] without blemish [08549] for a sin offering [02403], and one [0259] ram [0352] without blemish [08549] for peace offerings [08002],
15 And a basket [05536] of unleavened bread [04682], cakes [02471] of fine flour [05560] mingled [01101] with oil [08081], and wafers [07550] of unleavened bread [04682] anointed [04886] with oil [08081], and their meat offering [04503], and their drink offerings [05262].
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey [08085] my voice [06963] indeed [08085], and keep [08104] my covenant [01285], then ye shall be a peculiar treasure [05459] unto me above all people [05971]: for all the earth [0776] is mine:
12 And he shall consecrate [05144] unto the LORD [03068] the days [03117] of his separation [05145], and shall bring [0935] a lamb [03532] of the first [01121] year [08141] for a trespass offering [0817]: but the days [03117] that were before [07223] shall be lost [05307], because his separation [05145] was defiled [02930].
8 With him will I speak [01696] mouth [06310] to mouth [06310], even apparently [04758], and not in dark speeches [02420]; and the similitude [08544] of the LORD [03068] shall he behold [05027]: wherefore then were ye not afraid [03372] to speak [01696] against my servant [05650] Moses [04872]?
30 Doubtless ye shall not [0518] come [0935] into the land [0776], concerning which I sware [03027] [05375] to make you dwell [07931] therein, save Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126].
31 But your little ones [02945], which ye said [0559] should be a prey [0957], them will I bring in [0935], and they shall know [03045] the land [0776] which ye have despised [03988].
29 And on the eighth [08066] day [03117] she shall take [03947] unto her two [08147] turtles [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], and bring [0935] them unto the priest [03548], to the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150].
14 And on the eighth [08066] day [03117] he shall take [03947] to him two [08147] turtledoves [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], and come [0935] before [06440] the LORD [03068] unto the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and give [05414] them unto the priest [03548]:
15 And the priest [03548] shall offer [06213] them, the one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930]; and the priest [03548] shall make an atonement [03722] for him before [06440] the LORD [03068] for his issue [02101].
7 He shall not make himself unclean [02930] for his father [01], or for his mother [0517], for his brother [0251], or for his sister [0269], when they die [04194]: because the consecration [05145] of his God [0430] is upon his head [07218].
19 And the clean [02889] person shall sprinkle [05137] upon the unclean [02931] on the third [07992] day [03117], and on the seventh [07637] day [03117]: and on the seventh [07637] day [03117] he shall purify [02398] himself, and wash [03526] his clothes [0899], and bathe [07364] himself in water [04325], and shall be clean [02891] at even [06153].
16 And whosoever toucheth [05060] one that is slain [02491] with a sword [02719] in the open [06440] fields [07704], or a dead body [04191], or a bone [06106] of a man [0120], or a grave [06913], shall be unclean [02930] seven [07651] days [03117].
14 This is the law [08451], when a man [0120] dieth [04191] in a tent [0168]: all that come [0935] into the tent [0168], and all that is in the tent [0168], shall be unclean [02930] seven [07651] days [03117].
11 He that toucheth [05060] the dead [04191] body [05315] of any man [0120] shall be unclean [02930] seven [07651] days [03117].
9 And if any man [04191] die [04191] very [06621] suddenly [06597] by him, and he hath defiled [02930] the head [07218] of his consecration [05145]; then he shall shave [01548] his head [07218] in the day [03117] of his cleansing [02893], on the seventh [07637] day [03117] shall he shave [01548] it.
10 And on the eighth [08066] day [03117] he shall bring [0935] two [08147] turtles [08449], or two [08147] young [01121] pigeons [03123], to the priest [03548], to the door [06607] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150]:
11 And the priest [03548] shall offer [06213] the one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930], and make an atonement [03722] for him, for that [0834] he sinned [02398] by the dead [05315], and shall hallow [06942] his head [07218] that same day [03117].
14 She may not eat [0398] of any thing that cometh [03318] of the vine [01612], neither let her drink [08354] wine [03196] or strong drink [07941], nor eat [0398] any unclean [02932] thing: all that I commanded [06680] her let her observe [08104].
7 But he said [0559] unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive [02030], and bear [03205] a son [01121]; and now drink [07941] no wine [03196] nor strong drink [08354], neither eat [0398] any unclean [02932] thing: for the child [05288] shall be a Nazarite [05139] to God [0430] from the womb [0990] to the day [03117] of his death [04194].
4 Now therefore beware [08104], I pray thee, and drink [08354] not wine [03196] nor strong drink [07941], and eat [0398] not any unclean [02931] thing:
11 Neither shall he go in [0935] to any dead [04191] body [05315], nor defile [02930] himself for his father [01], or for his mother [0517];
6 All the days [03117] that he separateth [05144] himself unto the LORD [03068] he shall come [0935] at no dead [04191] body [05315].
7 He shall not make himself unclean [02930] for his father [01], or for his mother [0517], for his brother [0251], or for his sister [0269], when they die [04194]: because the consecration [05145] of his God [0430] is upon his head [07218].
8 All the days [03117] of his separation [05145] he is holy [06918] unto the LORD [03068].
25 But in all Israel [03478] there was none [0376] to be so much [03966] praised [01984] as Absalom [053] for his beauty [03303]: from the sole [03709] of his foot [07272] even to the crown of his head [06936] there was no blemish [03971] in him.
26 And when he polled [01548] his head [07218], (for it was at every year's [03117] [03117] end [07093] that he polled [01548] it: because the hair was heavy [03513] on him, therefore he polled [01548] it:) he weighed [08254] the hair [08181] of his head [07218] at two hundred [03967] shekels [08255] after the king's [04428] weight [068].
8 All the days [03117] of his separation [05145] he is holy [06918] unto the LORD [03068].
22 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
11 And I raised up [06965] of your sons [01121] for prophets [05030], and of your young men [0970] for Nazarites [05139]. Is it not even thus, O ye children [01121] of Israel [03478]? saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
11 And the priest [03548] shall offer [06213] the one [0259] for a sin offering [02403], and the other [0259] for a burnt offering [05930], and make an atonement [03722] for him, for that [0834] he sinned [02398] by the dead [05315], and shall hallow [06942] his head [07218] that same day [03117].
12 Neither shall he go out [03318] of the sanctuary [04720], nor profane [02490] the sanctuary [04720] of his God [0430]; for the crown [05145] of the anointing [04888] oil [08081] of his God [0430] is upon him: I am the LORD [03068].
6 And thou shalt put [07760] the mitre [04701] upon his head [07218], and put [05414] the holy [06944] crown [05145] upon the mitre [04701].
7 He shall not make himself unclean [02930] for his father [01], or for his mother [0517], for his brother [0251], or for his sister [0269], when they die [04194]: because the consecration [05145] of his God [0430] is upon his head [07218].
6 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto Aaron [0175], and unto Eleazar [0499] and unto Ithamar [0385], his sons [01121], Uncover [06544] not your heads [07218], neither rend [06533] your clothes [0899]; lest ye die [04191], and lest wrath [07107] come upon all the people [05712]: but let your brethren [0251], the whole house [01004] of Israel [03478], bewail [01058] the burning [08316] which the LORD [03068] hath kindled [08313].
5 All the days [03117] of the vow [05088] of his separation [05145] there shall no razor [08593] come [05674] upon his head [07218]: until the days [03117] be fulfilled [04390], in the which he separateth [05144] himself unto the LORD [03068], he shall be holy [06918], and shall let the locks [06545] of the hair [08181] of his head [07218] grow [01431].
1 Then said [0559] the LORD [03068] unto me, Go [03212] yet, love [0157] a woman [0802] beloved [0157] of her friend [07453], yet an adulteress [05003], according to the love [0160] of the LORD [03068] toward the children [01121] of Israel [03478], who look [06437] to other [0312] gods [0430], and love [0157] flagons [0809] of wine [06025].
9 Do not drink [08354] wine [03196] nor strong drink [07941], thou, nor thy sons [01121] with thee, when ye go [0935] into the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], lest ye die [04191]: it shall be a statute [02708] for ever [05769] throughout your generations [01755]:
1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When either man [0376] or woman [0802] shall separate [06381] themselves to vow [05087] a vow [05088] of a Nazarite [05139], to separate [05144] themselves unto the LORD [03068]:
3 He shall separate [05144] himself from wine [03196] and strong drink [07941], and shall drink [08354] no vinegar [02558] of wine [03196], or vinegar [02558] of strong drink [07941], neither shall he drink [08354] any liquor [04952] of grapes [06025], nor eat [0398] moist [03892] grapes [06025], or dried [03002].
4 All the days [03117] of his separation [05145] shall he eat [0398] nothing that is made [06213] of the vine [03196] tree [01612], from the kernels [02785] even to the husk [02085].
3 He shall separate [05144] himself from wine [03196] and strong drink [07941], and shall drink [08354] no vinegar [02558] of wine [03196], or vinegar [02558] of strong drink [07941], neither shall he drink [08354] any liquor [04952] of grapes [06025], nor eat [0398] moist [03892] grapes [06025], or dried [03002].
4 All the days [03117] of his separation [05145] shall he eat [0398] nothing that is made [06213] of the vine [03196] tree [01612], from the kernels [02785] even to the husk [02085].
18 And [1161] Paul [3972] after this tarried [4357] there yet [2089] a good [2425] while [2250], and then took his leave [657] of the brethren [80], and sailed thence [1602] into [1519] Syria [4947], and [2532] with [4862] him [846] Priscilla [4252] and [2532] Aquila [207]; having shorn [2751] his head [2776] in [1722] Cenchrea [2747]: for [1063] he had [2192] a vow [2171].
15 For [1063] he shall be [2071] great [3173] in the sight [1799] of the Lord [2962], and [2532] shall drink [4095] neither [3364] wine [3631] nor [2532] strong drink [4608]; and [2532] he shall be filled [4130] with the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], even [2089] from [1537] his [846] mother's [3384] womb [2836].
11 And she vowed [05087] a vow [05088], and said [0559], O LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], if thou wilt indeed [07200] look [07200] on the affliction [06040] of thine handmaid [0519], and remember [02142] me, and not forget [07911] thine handmaid [0519], but wilt give [05414] unto thine handmaid [0519] a man [0582] child [02233], then I will give [05414] him unto the LORD [03068] all the days [03117] of his life [02416], and there shall no razor [04177] come [05927] upon his head [07218].
14 She may not eat [0398] of any thing that cometh [03318] of the vine [01612], neither let her drink [08354] wine [03196] or strong drink [07941], nor eat [0398] any unclean [02932] thing: all that I commanded [06680] her let her observe [08104].
5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive [02030], and bear [03205] a son [01121]; and no razor [04177] shall come [05927] on his head [07218]: for the child [05288] shall be a Nazarite [05139] unto God [0430] from the womb [0990]: and he shall begin [02490] to deliver [03467] Israel [03478] out of the hand [03027] of the Philistines [06430].
1 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872], saying [0559],
2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When either man [0376] or woman [0802] shall separate [06381] themselves to vow [05087] a vow [05088] of a Nazarite [05139], to separate [05144] themselves unto the LORD [03068]:
