This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Num_6:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate [themselves] unto the LORD:
Ver. 2. To vow a vow.] A voluntary vow, a religious promise made in prayer; hence åõ÷ç , a vow, ðñïóåõ÷ç , a prayer.
To separate themselves unto the Lord.] As mirrors of singular sobriety and sanctimony, {Lam_4:7} especially required in such as are "separated unto the gospel of God," {Rom_1:1} and as types of Christ, that great votary, true Nazarite, holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners, {Heb_7:26} that holy thing, {Mat_1:20} that holy of holies, or most holy. {Dan_9:24}
