Amos 2:11
_ _ Additional obligations under which Israel lay to God; the prophets and Nazarites, appointed by Him, to furnish religious instruction and examples of holy self-restraint.
_ _ of your young men — It was a specimen of Israel’s highly favored state, that, of the class most addicted to pleasures, God chose those who by a solemn vow bound themselves to abstinence from all produce of the vine, and from all ceremonial and moral defilement. The Nazarite was not to shave (Numbers 6:2, etc.). God left nothing undone to secure the purity of their worship and their faithfulness to it (Lamentations 4:7). The same comes from a Hebrew root, nazar, “to set apart.” Samson, Samuel, and John the Baptist were Nazarites.
_ _ Is it not even thus — Will any of you dare to deny it is so? |
Amos 2:11
Nazarites — Persons who bound themselves to a very sober and holy life; either for some certain time, or for their whole life. |
