He shall come at no dead body, &c.— A third rule of the Nazarite is, that he, like the priest, should have no concern with dead bodies, or funeral solemnities, which rendered a man unclean for seven days. See chap. Numbers 19:11, &c. Leviticus 21:1; Leviticus 21:24. The Nazarite was obliged to the same degree of legal purity with the high priest himself; that thus he might be always fit to attend upon the service of God, and taught to disengage his affections as much as possible from worldly objects, and to set them upon God. The consecration, or separation of his God upon his head, is a strong Hebraism, signifying that his hair upon his head is a sign of his being peculiarly consecrated to God. St. Paul imitates this Hebraism, when he says, 1 Corinthians 11:10 the woman ought to have power upon her head; i.e. she ought to wear her hair in sign of her subjection to the power of her husband. Le Clerc renders this passage, the crown of his God is upon his head; (see Proverbs 16:31.) and Houbigant, he bears upon his head the ensigns of his God.
