Re: Nazarite Vow Question

Both men and women could take the vow.
Both men and women let their hair grow for the period of the vow and afterwards shaved off the hair and offered a sacrifice.



The Apostle Paul is spoken of as shaving his head after a (Nazirite) vow in Acts 18:18. Paul also later "sponsored" or paid for the animal sacrifices in the Temple at Jerusalem for four men (Acts 21:23-25) who had taken a Nazirite vow.

Samson (Judges 13:5), Samuel (1 Samuel 1:11), and maybe John the Baptist (Luke 1:15) were Nazirites all their lives because of being dedicated to that life by their parents.
