A '''nazirite''' or '''nazarite''' ([[Hebrew]]: '''נזיר''', ''nazir'' "separated") was a [[Judaism|Jew]] set apart and especially consecrated to God through vows of abstinence. Both men and women could take the nazirite vow; married women could take the nazirite vow with the consent of their husbands. The duration of naziriteship was voluntary, and ranged from thirty days to a lifetime.<ref>[http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=142&letter=N ''Nazarite''] [[Jewish Encyclopedia]] (1906)</ref>
