Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root נָזַר (nazar), meaning "to consecrate" or "to separate."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G39 (hagnismos): Refers to purification or consecration, similar to the concept of being set apart. Usage: The word "nezer" is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, often associated with the Nazirite vow, which involves a period of consecration to God, during which the individual refrains from cutting their hair. It also appears in reference to crowns or diadems, symbolizing honor and dedication. Context: • Consecration and Nazirite Vow: The term "nezer" is prominently used in the context of the Nazirite vow, as outlined in Numbers 6:1-21. This vow involves a period of separation unto the Lord, during which the individual abstains from wine, avoids contact with the dead, and does not cut their hair. The unshorn locks are referred to as "nezer," symbolizing the individual's holy dedication to God. For example, Numbers 6:7 states, "because the consecration of his God is upon his head."
