separation.
or, Nazariteship.
Num. 6:5,8‑9,12‑13,18‑19,21• 5All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head; until the days be fulfilled, that he hath consecrated himself to Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
 8All the days of his separation he is holy unto Jehovah.
 9And if any one die unexpectedly by him suddenly, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day shall he shave it.
 12And he shall again consecrate to Jehovah the days of his separation, and shall bring a yearling lamb for a trespass-offering. But the first days are forfeited, for his consecration hath been defiled.
 13And this is the law of the Nazarite on the day when the days of his consecration are fulfilled: he shall be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting.
 18and the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace-offerings.
 19And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of a ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven;
 21This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed: his offering to Jehovah for his consecration, beside what his hand is able to get; according to the vow which he vowed, so shall he do, according to the law of his consecration. (Num. 6:5,8‑9,12‑13,18‑19,21)
vine tree.
Heb. vine of the wine.
• Nazarites were for life in some cases. Samson for instance, ―a failing one. Samuel also, and John the Baptist. We get such; but here in the wilderness it is for a period. It may be for thirty, or sixty, or a hundred days; but there was a termination to it. Our days of separation are all the time we are here, from the time the Lord separates us. (“Chapter 6.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
• The prominent thing here is self-denial; and it may seem, in reading it, that they were great losers by denying themselves everything connected with the vine, as it says here. But not so. It was separation to the Lord; and they had an infinitely greater source of joy in Him than in anything this world could give. There is a verse very poorly translated in our version, which people often quote in this connection: “They that use this world, as not abusing it” (1 Cor. 7:31). It is better read, “They that use the world, as not disposing of it as their own.” As passing through it, we cannot help using the world, but we are not to use it as our own. (“Chapter 6.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
