the Nazirite
One who is set apart by a specific vow of separation, usually as a religious dedication, most notably referring to an Israelite under the Nazirite vow (נדר נזיר), abstaining from certain products and practices as prescribed in Torah; by extension, something or one consecrated, separated, or classified as holy or distinct for a period. In agricultural usage, refers to unpruned or untended vine branches, drawing on the metaphorical association of being 'left alone' or unshorn, as with the Nazirite's hair.
