Numbers 6:1-21; Matthew 2:23 "Disciples of the Nazarene"
I. The Exaltation and Humiliation of the Nazarite
o Exaltation and Glory Her Nazirites were brighter than snow and whiter than milk; They were more ruddy in body than rubies, Like sapphire in their appearance.—Lam. 4:7 (NKJV). And I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites.—Amos 2:11
