The Torah for
Naziyr (
נזיר) (to separate)
This
Chapter showed how consecration to YAH was possible for every Yisraelite.
Although only the family of Aharon could be Kohenim, any man or woman could
be "priestly" (i.e., dedicated to YAH's service) for a time (from
a month to a lifetime) by means of the vow of a Nazirite.
6:1 And ADONAI (יהוה) spoke toMosheh, saying,
6:2 Speak to Benai Yisrael, and say to them:
When either man or woman makes to vow a neder of a Naziyr ( נזיר), to separate [themselves] to ADONAI (יהוה):
6:3 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.
6:4 All the days of his nezer shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
6:5 All the days of the vow of his nezer there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth [himself] to ADONAI (יהוה), he shall be kadosh, [and] shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
6:6 All the days that he separates [himself] to ADONAI (יהוה) he shall come at no dead body.
6:7 He shall not make himself tamei (טמא) for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the nezer Elohav [is] upon his head.
6:8 All the yomei (days) of his Nazir (nezer) he [is] Kadosh to ADONAI (יהוה).
6:9 And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he has defiled the head of his Nezer; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.
6:10 And on yom hashemi'ni (8th day) he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the kohen, to the pethach (entrance way) of the Ohel Moed:
6:11 And the kohen shall offer the one as Chattat, and the other as an Olah, and make an atonement for him, because he sinned in regard to the corpse, and shall sanctify his head that same day.
6:12 And he shall nazar (consecrate) to ADONAI (יהוה) the days of his nezer, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for an asham: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his nezer was defiled.
6:13 And this [is] the Torah of the Naziyr ( נזיר), when the days of his nezer are fulfilled: he shall be brought to the door of the Ohel Moed:
6:14 And he shall offer his offering to ADONAI (יהוה), one he lamb of the first year tamiym for a Olah, and one ewe lamb of the first year tamiym for a Chattat, and one ram tamiym for Shelamin,
6:15 And a basket of matzot, challah (חלּה) of fine flour mingled with shemen (oil), and wafers of matzah anointed with oil, and their Minchah, and their nesakim (drink offerings).
6:16 And the kohen shall bring [them] before ADONAI (יהוה), and shall offer his Chattat, and his Olah:
6:17 And he shall offer the ram [for] a sacrifice of Shelamin to ADONAI (יהוה), with the basket of matzah: the kohen shall offer also his Minchah, and his nesakim (drink offerings).
6:18 And the Naziyr ( נזיר) shall shave the head of his nezer [at] the door of the Ohel Moed, and shall take the hair of the head of his nezer, and put [it] in the fire which [is] under the sacrifice of the Shelamin.
6:19 And the kohen shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one matzah challah out of the basket, and one matzah wafer, and shall put [them] upon the hands of the Naziyr ( נזיר), after [the hair of] his nezer is shaven:
6:20 And the kohen shall wave them [for] a tenufah (wave offering תּנוּפה) before ADONAI (יהוה): this [is] kadosh for the kohen, with the tenufah chazeh and heave shoulder: and after that the Naziyr ( נזיר) may drink wine.
6:21 This [is] the Torah of the Naziyr ( נזיר) who has nadar (vowed), [and of] his offering to ADONAI (יהוה) for his nezer, beside [that] that his hand shall get: according to the neder which he vowed, so he must do after the Torah of his nezer.
6:22 And ADONAI (יהוה) spoke toMosheh, saying,
Daber el-Aharon veel-banav lemor koh tevarakhu et-Benei Yisrael amor lahem:
Speak to Aharon and to his sons, saying:
On this wise you shall bless Benai Yisrael, saying to them:
Yevarekhkha ADONAI veyishmerekha:
ADONAI (יהוה) bless you, and keep you:
Yaer ADONAI panav eleikha vikhuneka:
ADONAI (יהוה) make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you:
Yisa ADONAI panav eleikha veyasem lekha shalom:
ADONAI (יהוה) lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
6:27
And they shall put My Name upon Benai Yisrael; and
I will bless them.
In general there are three types of nazirites:
Shemuel Ministry to Yisrael- Amos 2:11; 1 Shemuel 1:26-28; 1 Shemuel 3:19-4:1; 1 Shemuel 7:2; 1 Shemuel 10:1; 1 Shemuel 12; 1 Shemuel 13:7-14; 1 Shemuel 15:22-23; 1 shemuel 16:13
Each one of these has slightly different laws. For example, a permanent nazirite is allowed to cut his hair once a year if the hair is bothersome. A Shimson-like nazirite is a permanent nazirite and is not enjoined to avoid corpses. These types of nazirites have no source in the scripture but are known through tradition.
This vow required the man or woman to:
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 (the Yerushalayim Temple for Judaism) and then place the hair on the same fire as the peace offering. (Numbers 6:18)

Mashiach Yeshua was the only true and perfect Nazarite. He continued from the first day to the last in complete devotion to Elohim and entire separation from earthly joys. Nothing was allowed to come between His heart and the Father's purpose. His food was to do the will of Him who sent him and to finish the work of Elohim gave Him to do.
