∙ 8y agoThe Nazarites were an ascetic Jewish group known from before the first century CE. Some even believe that Nazarites existed in the first millennium BCE. The term 'Nazarite' is taken as meaning "One who lives apart; one who has made a vow of abstinence".
The Nazarites must be distinguished from Christian sects of the same period, such as the Nazarenes.

What is the difference between a Nazarite and Nazarene?
Nazarene is a word that means from Nazareth like Jesus. It also may mean that you are a member of the Church of the Nazarene. Nazarite means to have a part of your life that is set aside as a sign of dedication. Samson had his hair. Some baptists have no strong drink. Some have a dedication to altruism.

Did Jesus take the vow of a Nazarite?
Quite possibly as Jesus was a Jewish man in Nazareth. Some people believe that a vow may have been taken in the time between Jesus leaving for the desert and beginning his mission.Another answer:Jesus was not a Nazarite. Being from Nazareth makes him a Nazarene. Taking a Nazarite vow makes one a true Nazarite. And it is not possible for Jesus to have been a Nazarite, due to the fact that he did not abstain from drinking fruit of the vine or wine, which he would have to do in order to take a Nazarite vow would be not to put a razor to his head or touch wine or grapes. and the bible says he is a winebibber in Mat 11:19 & Luk 7:34 .The best wine in those days was a pure grape juice which was unfermented, or contained no alcohol.Another answerI believe that Jesus adhered to the Nazarite vows. The Bible never mentions Him cutting His hair and His beard was pulled out during His indescribable crucifixion.During the Jewish wedding, He turned water into wine (pure grape juice-without fermentation). The vow states that the Nazarite should abstain from strong drink (wine containing alcohol). See Elizabeth, John the Baptist's mother who was cautioned by an angel, as was Samsom's mother told to abstain from certain dietary no-no's namely strong fermented grape juice and unclean meats.Jesus would not have had any personal liabilities associated with His earthly ministry such as an occasion for someone to get drunk at a wedding and then commit sin (i.e. a man getting drunk and beating his wife). This kind of behavior has often accompanied drinking wine containing alcohol. Therefore, we can be assured the Jesus never ever consumed any alcohol.
Has anyone ever taught that Samson's long hair was disgraceful and that which made his life a sacrifice rather than just an excuse for men to have long hair?
No, he was a nazarite and they are supposed to have long hair. It doesn't suggest that men should have long hair, but it's just part of that particular story. God called on him to be raised as a nazarite, so it wouldn't be suggesting that it's shameful.
What is the thing in the Bible that the Nazarites could not do?
Three restrictions are imposed upon the Nazarite, according to Numbers 6:1-15: he must abstain from wine, or anything made from grapes; he may not cut the hair of his head; he may not touch the dead, not even the body of his father or mother. Samson was a Nazarite from birth as described in Judges 13:4-7,16:17.

Numbers 6:18 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings. 6:19 ......and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven: Judg.16 [17] That he told her all his heart, and said unto her. There hath not come a rasor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.
