He shall separate himself from wine— The first thing from which the Nazarite, engaged to a peculiar holiness of life, was to abstain, is wine and all vinous liquors, that so he might preserve an uninterrupted temperance, and be always fit for sacred services. Respecting the strong drink, see Leviticus 10:9 and Numbers 28:7. The word which we render vinegar חמצ chametz, signifies fermentation, and might have been so rendered; and shall drink no strong fermentation of wine.
