In the Hebrew Bible, a nazirite or nazarite is one who voluntarily took a vow described in Numbers 6:121. "Nazarite" comes from the Hebrew word nazir meaning "consecrated" or "separated". This vow required the person to:* Abstain from wine, wine vinegar, grapes, raisins, intoxicating liquors, vinegar made from such substances, and eating or drinking any substance that contains any trace of grapes. * Refrain from cutting the hair on one's head; but to allow the locks of the head's hair to grow. * Not to become ritually impure by contact with corpses or graves, even those of family members.After following these requirements for a designated interval (which would be specified in the individual's vow), the person would immerse in a mikveh and make three offerings: a lamb as a burnt offering (olah), a ewe as a sin-offering (hatat), and a ram as a peace offering (shelamim), in addition to a basket of unleavened bread, grain offerings and drink offerings, which accompanied the peace offering.
