In the Hebrew Bible, a nazirite or nazarite, (in Hebrew: נזיר, nazir), refers to one who voluntarily took a vow described in Numbers 6:1-21. The term "nazirite" comes from the Hebrew word nazir meaning "consecrated" or "separated". This vow required the man or woman to: * Abstain from wine, wine vinegar, grapes, raisins, intoxicating liquors and vinegar distilled from such. * Refrain from cutting the hair on one's head * Avoid corpses and graves, even those of family members, and any structure which contains such
