"The Lord said to
Moses, 'Speak to the Israelites and say to them: If a man or
woman wants to make
a special vow, a vow
of separation to the Lord
as a Nazirite, he must
abstain from wine and other fermented drink and must not
drink vinegar made from wine or from other fermented drink.
He must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins. As
long as he is a Nazirite, he must not eat anything that
comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins.
During the entire period of his vow of separation no razor may be used on his head. He must be holy until the period of his separation to the Lord is over; he must let the hair of his head grow long. Throughout the period of his separation to the Lord he must not go near a dead body. Even if his own father or mother or brother or sister dies, he must not make himself ceremonially unclean on account of them, because the symbol of his separation to God is on his head. Throughout the period of his separation he is consecrated to the Lord.'"
