Much conversation last night about the Nazarite Vow from Numbers chapter six.
But the thing we were struggling with is this:
why did God make provision for it?
Surely holiness is just holiness. Why should only some people - who seem to decide to do it of their own volition - take a special vow.
And if they do, why these three things? -
- don't cut your hair
- avoid dead bodies
- avoid even grapes, not just wine
It feels like there is more than meets the eye here.
Any suggestions?
