Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Numbers 6:1-21

After the law for the discovery and shame of those that by sin had made themselves vile, fitly follows this for the direction and encouragement of those who by their eminent piety and devotion had made themselves honourable, and distinguished themselves from their neighbours. It is very probable that there were those before the making of this law who went under the character of Nazarites, and were celebrated by that title as persons professing greater strictness and zeal in religion than other... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 6:2

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them ,.... Whom the following law only concerned, and not Gentiles; so runs the Jewish canon,"the Gentiles have no Nazariteship, though they may bring their vows and freewill offerings as an Israelite, yet if they vow the vow of a Nazarite, the law of the Nazarite is not obliging on them, or they bound by it; but it is free for them to drink wine, and defile themselves for the dead; for it is written, "speak unto the children of Israel" F17 ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 6:3

He shall separate himself from wine ,.... Old or new, as Ben Gersom; from drinking it, any of it: not only from an immoderate and excessive drinking of it, which every man should abstain from, but from drinking of it at all, that he might be more free and fit for the service of God; for prayer, meditation, reading the Scriptures, and attendance on the worship of God in all its branches, and be less liable to temptations to sin; for, as Aben Ezra observes, many transgressions are occasioned... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 6:4

All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree ,.... Of its leaves, branches, and fruit, especially the latter, put into any sort of food, or infused into any liquor, or mixed with any sauce for food: the days or time of separation were according as the vow was made, for a shorter or longer time; though the Jews F20 Misn. Nazir, c. 1. sect. 3. & c. 6. sect. 3. say, where the vow is, absolutely expressed, it is always to be understood of thirty... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 6:5

All the days of the vow of his separation ,.... Be the time he has vowed to be a Nazarite a week, a, month, or more, even a thousand days, but not less than thirty, as Ben Gersom observes: there shall no razor come upon his head ; he might not shave his beard, nor cut off his locks, and shave his head, nor cut short his locks with a pair of scissors, nor any with anything by which the hair may be removed, as Ben Gersom; nor pluck off his hair with his hands, as Maimonides says F24 ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 6:6

All the days that he separateth himself unto the Lord ,.... This phrase is repeated at every new article and branch of the law of the Nazarites, of which what follows is the third; showing that each part of it, during that time, was strictly to be observed: he shall come at no dead body : not near to any, not even to be in the same place where a dead body lay, nor to touch one, nor to attend the funeral of any, nor be concerned at all about burying the dead; now, as such so defiled... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 6:7

He shall not make himself unclean for his father or for his mother, for his brother or for his sister, when they die ,.... Aben Ezra adds also, for his wife, and for his daughter, and for others; what even the priests of the Lord, the common priests might do, a Nazarite might not, not come near any of his relations when dead, as to touch them, to close their eyes, or wash their bodies, and provide for their funeral, and attend that, or to be where they were; in this respect they were upon a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 6:8

All the days of his separation he is holy unto the Lord. Set apart for his service, separate from all others, especially the dead, and under obligation to abstain from the above things; from drinking wine, from shaving his hair, and from defiling himself for the dead, and to be employed in holy and religious exercises during the time his vow is upon him. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 6:9

And if any man die very suddenly by him ,.... In the place where he is, whether house or field, a public or private place, in the tent where he is, as Jarchi; there are two words we render, "very suddenly", which many take to be synonymous; and that being of the same signification, two being used increase the sense, but others think they have a different meaning: the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan render them,"suddenly through ignorance,'understanding it of a chance matter, as when one man... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Numbers 6:10

And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles or two young pigeons to the priest ,.... Not a turtledove and a young pigeon, as Ben Gersom observes, but two of one of the sorts, which was the offering of the poorer sort of childbearing women at their purification, and of profluvious persons, men or women, Leviticus 12:8 ; and this case of the Nazarite's being an uncleanness, could not be purged away but by sacrifice; which was typical of the sacrifice of Christ, by which that unclean... read more
