Weekly Project 5 - Nazirite Vow
The project this week is to read the Samson narrative (Judges 13-16) in light of the Nazirite vow (Numbers 6:1-8). In the first paragraph, describe in detail the 3 requirements of the vow as well as the purpose of the vow. What do you think was trying to be accomplished and how was it to be accomplished?
In the second paragraph, detail all the ways that Samson broke the 3 vows (use specific Bible references).
In a final paragraph, try to envision what it might look like to appropriate the Nazirite vow to our modern culture. Might there be better vows to take that would make someone stand out than the 3 listed in Numbers? Are there already examples of people who are living a noticeably different life that you see around you?
