Israel demonstrated a period of unsual obedience at the foot of Sinai, but this period would soon be followed by outright rebellion. God gave them the Nazirite vow to signify what He wanted from them. Only one man would live up to God’s desire for dedication unto Him, Jesus. He is the true Israel and the true Nazirite.
