separate themselves
|
|
"The word yaphli, rendered ""shall separate themselves,"" signifies, ""the doing of something extraordinary,"" and is the same word as is used concerning the making a singular vow. (Lev 27:2); it seems to convey the idea of a person's acting from extraordinary zeal for God and religion." |

to vow

|
to separate themselves
|
|
or, to make themselves Nazarites. Lahazzir, from nazar, to be separate; hence nazir, a Nazarite, i.e., a person separated; one peculiarly devoted to the service of God by being separated from all servile employments. The Nazarites were of two kinds: such as were devoted to God by their parents in their infancy, or even sometimes before they were born; and such as devoted themselves. The former were Nazarites for life; and the latter commonly bound themselves to observe the laws of the Nazarites for a limited time. The Nazarites for life were not bound to the same strictness as the others, concerning whom the laws relate. |
