In the Hebrew Bible, a nazirite or a nazarite (Hebrew: נָזִיר Nāzīr) [1] is an Israelite (i.e. Jewish [2] [3]) man or woman [4] who voluntarily took a vow which is described in Numbers 6:1–21. This vow required the nazirite to: Abstain from wine and all other grape products, such as vinegar and grapes [5]
