Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

My lover is dark and dazzling, better than ten thousand others!

May our sons flourish in their youth like well nurtured plants. May our daughters be like graceful pillars, carved to beautify a palace.

But he told me,‘ You will become pregnant and give birth to a son. You must not drink wine or any other alcoholic drink nor eat any forbidden food. For your son will be dedicated to God as a Nazirite from the moment of his birth until the day of his death.’”

Finally, Samson shared his secret with her.“ My hair has never been cut,” he confessed,“ for I was dedicated to God as a Nazirite from birth. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as anyone else.”

At the end of the ten days, Daniel and his three friends looked healthier and better nourished than the young men who had been eating the food assigned by the king.

“ Give the following instructions to the people of Israel.“ If any of the people, either men or women, take the special vow of a Nazirite, setting themselves apart to the Lord in a special way,they must give up wine and other alcoholic drinks. They must not use vinegar made from wine or from other alcoholic drinks, they must not drink fresh grape juice, and they must not eat grapes or raisins.As long as they are bound by their Nazirite vow, they are not allowed to eat or drink anything that comes from a grapevine— not even the grape seeds or skins.“ They must never cut their hair throughout the time of their vow, for they are holy and set apart to the Lord. Until the time of their vow has been fulfilled, they must let their hair grow long.And they must not go near a dead body during the entire period of their vow to the Lord.Even if the dead person is their own father, mother, brother, or sister, they must not defile themselves, for the hair on their head is the symbol of their separation to God.This requirement applies as long as they are set apart to the Lord.“ If someone falls dead beside them, the hair they have dedicated will be defiled. They must wait for seven days and then shave their heads. Then they will be cleansed from their defilement.On the eighth day they must bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Tabernacle.The priest will offer one of the birds for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. In this way, he will purify them from the guilt they incurred through contact with the dead body. Then they must reaffirm their commitment and let their hair begin to grow again.The days of their vow that were completed before their defilement no longer count. They must rededicate themselves to the Lord as a Nazirite for the full term of their vow, and each must bring a one year old male lamb for a guilt offering.“ This is the ritual law for Nazirites. At the conclusion of their time of separation as Nazirites, they must each go to the entrance of the Tabernacleand offer their sacrifices to the Lord: a one year old male lamb without defect for a burnt offering, a one year old female lamb without defect for a sin offering, a ram without defect for a peace offering,a basket of bread made without yeast— cakes of choice flour mixed with olive oil and wafers spread with olive oil— along with their prescribed grain offerings and liquid offerings.The priest will present these offerings before the Lord: first the sin offering and the burnt offering;then the ram for a peace offering, along with the basket of bread made without yeast. The priest must also present the prescribed grain offering and liquid offering to the Lord.“ Then the Nazirites will shave their heads at the entrance of the Tabernacle. They will take the hair that had been dedicated and place it on the fire beneath the peace offering sacrifice.After the Nazirite’s head has been shaved, the priest will take for each of them the boiled shoulder of the ram, and he will take from the basket a cake and a wafer made without yeast. He will put them all into the Nazirite’s hands.Then the priest will lift them up as a special offering before the Lord. These are holy portions for the priest, along with the breast of the special offering and the thigh of the sacred offering that are lifted up before the Lord. After this ceremony the Nazirites may again drink wine.“ This is the ritual law of the Nazirites, who vow to bring these offerings to the Lord. They may also bring additional offerings if they can afford it. And they must be careful to do whatever they vowed when they set themselves apart as Nazirites.”

I chose some of your sons to be prophets and others to be Nazirites. Can you deny this, my people of Israel?” asks the Lord.“ But you caused the Nazirites to sin by making them drink wine, and you commanded the prophets,‘ Shut up!’

So Jesse sent for him. He was dark and handsome, with beautiful eyes. And the Lord said,“ This is the one; anoint him.”

You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and his hair must never be cut. For he will be dedicated to God as a Nazirite from birth. He will begin to rescue Israel from the Philistines.”

for he will be great in the eyes of the Lord. He must never touch wine or other alcoholic drinks. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth.
