The full description of the Nazarite is found in Num. 6. The vow consisted in a complete abstinence from wine and strong drink, and entire separation to God. Sampson was one, extraordinarily, only he did not keep his vows. Joseph was one (Deut. 33:16, “him that was separated,” lit. “the Nazarite”) in spirit, and pre-eminently as a type of Christ (compare also Matt. 26:29, where wine typifies the joys of earth). The Christian may be said to be in the Nazarite position according to Rom. 12:1, 2, separated from the world—unto God.
