The Vow of the Nazarite is in the Bible, I believe. It is a commitment to Jah by giving up certain things. You cannot eat grapes or eat/drink anything from a grape vine and you can never put a razor upon your head (cut your hair).

Many Rastas take this vow and I was wonderin who else has.

Jah Bless.

Just to be Devil's Advocate: Wasn't the most famous Nazarite in the Bible Samson? And isn't he notable for disobeying most of the Nazarite creed throughout his life, only really focusing on the hair thing? ...Out of curiosity, if I take the vow, can I be as bad at it as he was and still be granted super-powers and a special place in the big guy's heart?

It might be productive to know what the Creed of the Nazarite was.

- First, a Nazarite was to abstain from wine, fermented drink, or any product of the grapevine (Num. 6:3, 4). Such a person would be odd in a culture where fresh water was scarce.
- Second, a Nazarite must allow his hair to grow and not use a razor (Num. 6:5). The appearance of this unshaven separatist would have created a stir wherever he went, even in a society in which beards were common.
- Third, the Nazarite must avoid dead bodies (Num. 6:6, 7). Some scholars believe this referred to human bodies. Others believe it referred to any dead body. In a meat-eating society, a vegetarian would be unusual.
- Finally, Nazarites completely consecrated and set apart their lives for the service of God (Num. 6:8). Their devotion to God encouraged the Israelites to be faithful, despite the seductive value system of its pagan neighbors.
