Numbers 6 ; verse 21
The Nazirite
21 “‘This is the law of the Nazirite who vows offerings to the Lord in accordance with their dedication, in addition to whatever else they can afford. They must fulfill the vows they have made, according to the law of the Nazirite.’”
(21)نذیر جو مَنّت مانے اور جو چڑھاوا اپنی نذارت کے لِئے خُداوند کے حضُور لائے علاوہ اُس کے جِس کا اُسے مقدُور ہو ۔ اُن سبھوں کے بارے میں شرع یہ ہے جَیسی مَنّت اُس نے مانی ہو وَیسا ہی اُس کو نذارت کی شرع کے مُطابِق عمل کرنا پڑے گا
My point of view about above verses
God told Moses tell Israelite that if a man or woman set them apart for Lord by taking a vow - it should be shown that they are keeping them away from worldly pleasures - they are not supposed to drink wine or anything made of grapes or fermented drinks as long as they are under oath - They should not cut their hairs and go near to any dead body - even of their father, mother, brother and sister - they have to kept themselves away from dead bodies during the period of their vow. From observing them or their behavior people should know that they have consecrated or dedicated themselves to Lord
If someone dies before a person who dedicated himself to the Lord - then that person has to shave his head and offer sin offering and guilt offering to the Lord and start again the days of dedication as former days are lost as his separation was defiled because of dead body
At the end of the dedication period - person who dedicated himself to the Lord present offering to the Lord in public ceremony - the offerings are burnt offering, sin offering and fellowship offering with grain and drink offering - he also has to shave his head and burn the hairs in fire of fellowship offering and priest has to offer wave offering for the person dedicated - This offering is priest's share - after all this procedure dedicated person can drink wine
A person who dedicate himself to the Lord can make other offerings also as per his affordability / status
Let God give us wisdom to understand his word and help us to apply it in our lives
