Übersetzung des Talmud Yerushalmi

The Talmud Yerushalmi's tractate »Nazir« is dedicated to the interpretation and explanation of the Nazirite consecration law found in Numbers 6,1-21. The law for this popular ancient form of asceticism demanded abstinence from grapes and anything made from them, particularly wine, did not allow hair to be cut, and forbade impurity through contact to the dead. The vow of consecration was typically taken on for a specific period of time (at least thirty days) and ended with the offering of sacrifices in the temple and the cutting of hair. The tractate also contains rules on the speech-forms suitable for admission to the Nazirate as well as the laws to be observed for the final sacrificial offering.
