A Person Devoted to God.

A Nazarite, or Nazirite, was a man or woman of Israel who had made a special vow of service to God. When the vow had been made, a man:

1) Did not cut his hair, or shave his beard.

2) Did not drink wine or eat grapes or raisins.

3) Was not allowed to touch a dead body, even that of a close relative
(see Numbers ch.6).

Samson was a Nazirite (see Judges 13:7), as also was the prophet Samuel, whom we read was 'lent to God' as a child (in 1 Samuel 1:28).
John the Baptist was also probably a Nazirite (see Matthew 3:4).

Nazirite is not to be confused with 'Nazarene' (q.v.).
