Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Nazir (Hebrew: ) is a treatise of the Mishnah and the Tosefta and in both Talmuds, devoted chiefly to a discussion of the laws of the Nazirite laid down in Numbers 6:1-21. In the Tosefta its title is Nezirut ("Nazariteship"). In most of the editions of the Mishnah this treatise is the fourth in the order Nashim, and it is divided into 9 chapters, containing 48 paragraphs in all. Chapter 1: The different kinds of vows which involve compulsory Nazariteship ( 1-2); Nazariteship for life, Samson's Nazariteship (compare Judges 12:4 et seq.), and the difference between these two kinds ( 2); Nazariteship is calculated by days only, not by hours, and generally lasts thirty days if no definite period is given ( 3); different expressions which make a sort of lifelong Nazariteship compulsory, although the hair may be cut once in thirty days ( 4); peculiar indefinite expressions used in connection with the vow ( 5-7).
