|description=One “set apart”; a temporary monastic class of celibates spoken of in the ''Old Testament, ''who married not, nor did they use wine during the time of their vow, and who wore their hair long, cutting it only at their initiation. Paul must have belonged to this class of Initiates, for he himself tells the ''Galatians ''(i. x5) that he was ''separated ''or “set apart” from the moment of his birth ; and that he had his hair cut at Cenchrea, because “he had a vow” (''Acts ''xviii.18), i.e., had been initiated as a Nazar; after which he became a “ master‐builder” (i ''Corinth''. iii.10). Joseph is styled a Nazar (''Gen''. xlix. 26). Samson and Samuel were also Nazars, and many more {{ctd-source|TG}}.
