The
Hebrew word "Nazar" or Nazir" means set apart or
consecrated.
"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. 4..All the days of his separation
shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree from
the kernels to the husk. 5..All the days of the vow of
his separation there shall no razor come upon his head:
until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth
himself unto the Lord, he shall be holy, and he shall let
the locks of the hair of his head grow." Numbers
6:3-5

receive a teacher under thirty years of
age.
"3..From
thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old,
all that enter into the host to do the work in the
Tabernacle of the congregation." Numbers
