2-8. 男でも女でも……ナジル人の誓願を立てるなら――すなわち「聖別された者」、ヘブル語の「聖別する」という語に由来する。この語は、並外れた敬虔の衝動のもと、より高度な宗教的向上を目的として、自発的に世の職業と楽しみを放棄し、神への奉仕に惜しみなく身を捧げる人々の階級を指すために用いられた。誓願は男女いずれも行うことができ、自己の処分権を持つことを条件とし
(Nu 30:4)、
制限された期間――通常一か月か一生涯――にわたった
(Jud 13:5; 16:17)。
彼らが行った禁欲の全容は分からないかもしれない。しかし彼らは特に三つのことから自分を聖別した。すなわち、ぶどう酒およびあらゆる種類のぶどう製品から、頭に鋭器を当てて髪を刈ることから(髪を伸ばさせるため)、そして死体による汚れからである。これらの自己制限の理由は明らかである。ぶどう酒の使用は情熱を煽り、脳を酔わせ、ぜいたくな快楽への嗜好を生む傾向があった。髪を刈ることは汚れの公認のしるしであったため
(Le 14:8, 9)、
刈り込まれない豊かな髪は彼が告白する純潔の象徴であった。そのうえ、その異例の長さは誓願を絶えず思い出させ、また他の人々にも彼の敬虔な模範を見習うよう促した。さらに、死体との接触は神への奉仕の資格を失わせるため、ナジル人はそのような不適格の原因を注意深く避け、大祭司と同様に最も近い親族の葬儀に参加せず、神への義務を最も強い自然の愛情の充足よりも優先した。

2-8. When either man or woman . . . shall vow a vow of a Nazarite--that is, "a separated one," from a Hebrew word, "to separate." It was used to designate a class of persons who, under the impulse of extraordinary piety and with a view to higher degrees of religious improvement, voluntarily renounced the occupations and pleasures of the world to dedicate themselves unreservedly to the divine service. The vow might be taken by either sex, provided they had the disposal of themselves
(Nu 30:4),
and for a limited period--usually a month or a lifetime
(Jud 13:5; 16:17).
We do not know, perhaps, the whole extent of abstinence they practised. But they separated themselves from three things in particular--namely, from wine, and all the varieties of vinous produce; from the application of a razor to their head, allowing their hair to grow; and from pollution by a dead body. The reasons of the self-restrictions are obvious. The use of wine tended to inflame the passions, intoxicate the brain, and create a taste for luxurious indulgence. The cutting off the hair being a recognized sign of uncleanness
(Le 14:8, 9),
its unpolled luxuriance was a symbol of the purity he professed. Besides, its extraordinary length kept him in constant remembrance of his vow, as well as stimulated others to imitate his pious example. Moreover, contact with a dead body, disqualifying for the divine service, the Nazarite carefully avoided such a cause of unfitness, and, like the high priest, did not assist at the funeral rites of his nearest relatives, preferring his duty to God to the indulgence of his strongest natural affections.

9-12. もしそばで人が突死にし、彼が聖別の頭を汚したなら—突然の死の出来事が彼を汚れを招く原因となり得た。そのような状況では、彼は頭をそり落とした後、儀式的な汚れを除くために必要な規定のささげ物をしなければならなかった
(レビ15:13; 民数記19:11)。
しかし、この律法の規定により、偶発的な汚れは以前のすべての誓いの遵守を無効にし、彼はナジル人の期間を新たに始めなければならなかった。しかし、この完全な満了でさえ、終わりには罪のためのいけにえの必要性を取って代わるものではなかった。罪は私たちの最も優れた最も聖なる行いにも混じり込み、注ぎの血が、私たちと私たちの奉仕が受け入れられるために必要である。

9-12. If any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration--Cases of sudden death might occur to make him contract pollution; and in such circumstances he was required, after shaving his head, to make the prescribed offerings necessary for the removal of ceremonial defilement
(Le 15:13; Nu 19:11).
But by the terms of this law an accidental defilement vitiated the whole of his previous observances, and he was required to begin the period of his Nazaritism afresh. But even this full completion did not supersede the necessity of a sin offering at the close. Sin mingles with our best and holiest performances, and the blood of sprinkling is necessary to procure acceptance to us and our services.

13-20. 彼の聖別の日数が満ちた時、など—限定的なナジル人の誓いの達成に際し、ナジル人は自分のいる場所どこでも髪を切ることができた
(使徒18:18)。
しかし髪は注意深く保管され、聖所の入り口に持って来られなければならなかった。そして罪のためのいけにえと全焼のいけにえのささげ物の後、それは平安のささげ物が煮られる器の下に置かれた。そして祭司は肩
(レビ7:32)
を煮られた時、穀物のささげ物の一つのパンとせんべいを取り、感謝の印として主の前に揺り動かすため、ナジル人の手の上に置き、こうして彼らを誓いから解放した。

13-20. when the days of his separation are fulfilled, &c.--On the accomplishment of a limited vow of Nazaritism, Nazarites might cut their hair wherever they happened to be
(Ac 18:18);
but the hair was to be carefully kept and brought to the door of the sanctuary. Then after the presentation of sin offerings and burnt offerings, it was put under the vessel in which the peace offerings were boiled; and the priest, taking the shoulder
(Le 7:32),
when boiled, and a cake and wafer of the meat offering, put them on the hands of the Nazarites to wave before the Lord, as a token of thanksgiving, and thus released them from their vow.

Nu 6:23-27.
民を祝福する形式
23-27. アロンとその子らに告げて言え、あなたがたはイスラエルの会衆を次のように祝福しなければならない等――この個所は、毎日の奉仕の終わりに民を解散させるために神が定められた荘厳な祝福を記録している。「主」という名、すなわち「エホバ」の三度の繰り返しは、神の奥義――三つの位格であり、しかも一人の神である――を表す。個々の条項の表現は、それぞれ「私たちを祝福し、守ってくださる」父の務め、「私たちに恵みを賜る」子の務め、「私たちに平安を賜る」聖霊の務めに対応する。そしてこの祝福は同僚である人の唇によって語られたけれども、その効力は祭司からではなく神から出たので、「主なる私が彼らを祝福する」という励ましの保証が加えられた。

Nu 6:23-27.
THE FORM OF BLESSING THE PEOPLE.
23-27. Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the congregation of Israel, &c.--This passage records the solemn benediction which God appointed for dismissing the people at the close of the daily service. The repetition of the name "Lord" or "Jehovah" three times, expresses the great mystery of the Godhead--three persons, and yet one God. The expressions in the separate clauses correspond to the respective offices of the Father, to "bless and keep us"; of the Son, to be "gracious to us"; and of the Holy Ghost, to "give us peace." And because the benediction, though pronounced by the lips of a fellow man, derived its virtue, not from the priest but from God, the encouraging assurance was added, "I the Lord will bless them."
