The Nazirite Series CBE Shabbat Malakuth Service
THE NAZIRITE Part Two We are presenting today additional information about the Nazirite. Types of Nazirites In general there were three types of Nazirites:1) A nazirite for a set time, 2) A permanent nazirite, and 3) A nazirite, like Samson, who was a permanent Nazirite and is not enjoined to avoid corpses. Biblical Nazirites Two examples of Nazirites in the Hebrew Bible are Samson (Book of Judges 13:6-7), and Samuel (1 Samuel 1:11). In both cases, their mothers made the vows before they were born, which required them to live an ascetic life, yet in return they received extraordinary gifts: Samson possessed strength and ability in physical battle, while Samuel was a prophet. Correspondence between Yehoshuah and Samson. How do they fit into all of this? Sabbath Service Malakuth: The Torah permits a man or a woman to adopt voluntarily the status of a Nazarite [נזיר Nazir]. Nazirism should not be understood as merely a catalogue of prohibitions, as if the Nazirite's vow, "I am hereby a Nazirite," was a shorthand pledge to abstain from wine, haircutting, and contamination.
