And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Reciprocal: Genesis 28:20 - vowed

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:

When: Numbers 6:5, Numbers 6:6, Exodus 33:16, Leviticus 20:26, Proverbs 18:1, Romans 1:1, 2 Corinthians 6:16, Galatians 1:15, Hebrews 7:27
separate themselves: The word yaphli, rendered "shall separate themselves," signifies, "the doing of something extraordinary," and is the same word as is used concerning the making a singular vow. - Leviticus 27:2, it seems to convey the idea of a person's acting from extraordinary zeal for God and religion.
to vow: Leviticus 27:2, Judges 13:5, 1 Samuel 1:28, Amos 2:11, Amos 2:12, Luke 1:15, Acts 21:23, Acts 21:24
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.

He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.

Besides the religious nature of this institution, it seems to have been partly of a civil and prudential use. The sobriety and temperance which the Nazarites were obliged to observe were very conducive to health. Accordingly, they were celebrated for their fair and ruddy complexion; being said to be both whiter than milk and more ruddy than rubies - Lamentations 4:7, the sure signs of a sound and healthy constitution. It may here be observed, that when God intended to raise up Samson, by his strength of body, to scourge the enemies of Israel, he ordered, that from his infancy he should drink no wine, but live by the rule of the Nazarites, because that would greatly contribute to make him strong and healthy; intending, after nature had done her utmost to form this extraordinary instrument of his providence, to supply her defect by his own supernatural power.

unclean: Numbers 9:6, Leviticus 21:1, Leviticus 21:2, Leviticus 21:10-12, Ezekiel 44:25
consecration: Heb. separation, This expression, "the consecration, or separation, of God is on his head," denotes his hair, which was the proof and emblem of his separation, and of his subjection to God through all the peculiarities of his Nazarate. St. Paul probably alludes to this circumstance in 1 Corinthians 11:10, by considering a married woman as a Nazarite for life, i.e., separated from all others, and united to her husband, to whom she is subject.
