Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ² speake vnto the children of Israel, and saye vnto them: when ether man or woman doth separate them selues to vowe a vowe of an absteiner, and appoynte them selues vnto the Lorde, ³ he shall separate hym selfe from wyne and stronge dryncke, and shall dryncke no vynagre of wyne nor of stronge drynke, nor shall drynke whatsoeuer is pressed out of grapes: & shall eate no freshe grapes nether yet dryed. As longe as hys abstinence endureth, ⁴ shall he eate nothynge that is made of the vyne tre, or of the cornels, or of the huske of the grape. ⁵ And as longe as he voweth, and is separated, there shall no rasure come apon hys heed: But vntyll hys dayes be out, in the which he separateth him selfe vnto the Lorde, he shalbe holy, and shall let the lockes of hys heere growe.

to separate themselves. or, to make themselves Nazarites.{Lahazzir,} from {nazar,} to be separate; hence {nazir,} a Nazarite, i.e., a person separated; one peculiarly devoted to the service of God by being separated from all servile employments. The Nazarites were of two kinds: such as were devoted to God by their parents in their infancy, or even sometimes before they were born; and such as devoted themselves. The former were Nazarites for life; and the latter commonly bound themselves to observe the laws of the Nazarites for a limited time. The Nazarites for life were not bound to the same strictness as the others, concerning whom the laws relate.
