. . . . . "In the Hebrew Bible, a nazirite or nazarite, (in Hebrew: \u05E0\u05D6\u05D9\u05E8, 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: \n* Abstain from wine, wine vinegar, grapes, raisins, intoxicating liquors and vinegar distilled from such. \n* Refrain from cutting the hair on one's head \n* Avoid corpses and graves, even those of family members, and any structure which contains such After following these requirements for a designated period of time (which would be specified in the individual's vow), the person would immerse in a Mikvah and make three offerings, a lamb as a burnt offering (olah), a ewe as a sin-offering (hatat), and a ram as a peace offering (shelamim), in addition to a basket of unleavened bread, grain offerings and drink offerings, which accompanied the peace offering. They would also shave their head in the outer courtyard of the Temple and then place the hair on the same fire as the peace offering. (Numbers 6:18) The nazirite is described as being \"holy unto YHWH\" (Numbers 6:8), yet at the same time must bring a sin offering. This has led to divergent approaches to the nazirite in the Talmud, and later authorities, with some viewing the Nazirite as an ideal, and others viewing him as a sinner."@en . "Nazirite"@en . .
