NAZARITE

What I Didn't Say

Nazarite Vow--Wow...  I've always been enamored by this vow. If you took this vow, the outward signs were twofold.  You did not partake of strong drink, and you did not allow your hair to be cut. However, there was a stipulation that allowed you to cut your hair once a year if it started to bother you.  My guess is, some Nazarites counted the days until they could cut their hair.  I would further guess that they got their heads shaved like a cue ball so it would last for awhile. 

I've gone for long periods of time without drinking any alcoholic beverages, but I've never shaved my head.  I know people who have shaved their heads, but I don't think they ever abstained from alcohol.  There must be something about the combination. Apparently you can only be successful at it if you're totally sold out to the Lord.  How else could you look like Michael Jordan and live like an AA grad.
