Best Answer

The name "Nazirite" means: One Singled Out; Dedicated ,Separated One.

These were people who performed a special service to God, and there were two classes of Nazirites, with different requirements:

-Those who volunteered for a specified period of time, and

-Those who were chosen by God himself,even before birth, for a lifetime of service (such as Sampson, Samuel and John the Baptizer).

For those who volunteered, there were three requirements (besides faithfulness to God's commands in general):

1) They were to drink no liquor, or eat any product of the grapevine, including fresh, fermented, or vinegar

(2) They were not to cut their hair

(3) They were not to touch a dead body, no matter who or what it was.

(Numbers 6:1-8).

For those who were chosen by God even before their birth, the requirements were often more specific. For instance, Sampson could not drink alcohol or cut his hair, but he could touch dead bodies.

(Intersting side point: The Hebrew word na‧zir′ was also used in regard to the "unpruned" vines (Leviticus 25:5, 11).
