The Nazarites (mentioned in the Old Testament) are similar to monks in the Christian tradition. However, as the Hebraic culture did not have monasteries, these monks would live among the people, but have elevated sets of laws and statutes.

Numbers Chapter 6 outlines the regulations of Nazirites.
They are divided into two groups - those who volunteered (offer a vow) and those who were divinely appointed.
They could be men or women.
Most notable Nazirites were:
Samson (divinely appointed),
Samuel (his mother offered a vow),
John the Baptizer (divinely appointed)
