- Read Numbers 6:2-6, 14, 18; Judges 13:5, 24; 1 Samuel 1:11, 19-20, 28; Luke 1:13-15 as well as the Bible Dictionary entry for “Nazarite” (pg. 737) and the Institute Student Manual commentary for Numbers 6:1-21, “What Was a Nazarite?” (pg. 199). Then answer the following questions in writing:
• What were the requirements of
a Nazarite?
This to me are people who
follow a certain lifestyle. They do not
drink any strong drinks, grapes (moist or dry), did not cut their hair, made
burnt offering to the Lord, did not come near dead people.
• Who were some famous
Nazarites from scripture?
Samson would be one of them –
he had long hair.
John the Baptist
- Read Alma 5:57. Then write a paragraph about how the Lord wants Latter-day Saints to live differently from the world today.
- I was just thinking about how we are similar to the Nazarites. We as church members follow a certain lifestyle that someone from the outside might think odd. Looking deeper into it though, the Nazarites, as they did their practices, became close to God and were are able to fulfill the Lord’s will.
