QUOTE : May 2 <em>Numbers 6</em> The Nazarite was holy in three negative ways: (1) he must not touch the grape; (2) he must not cut his hair; (3) he must not touch a dead body. Were I to transopose such consecration into new testament parallels I suppose this would be the setup:<br /><br />1. Grapes-- the source of natural joy--that which makes glad the heart of man. This is denying oneself the allowable pleasures for the sake of a greater holiness.<br /><br />2. The long hair of man is his shame. He must let it grow so that he becomes unashamed of shame--reproach bearing for God.<br /><br />3. Seperation from evil in all their doings--yea,even from family pulls (v.7).<br /><br />I know little of any of these.
