[963] For Jewish rules see Lev. xxi. The onerous

[964] The prohibition of the products of the grapevine to
the Nazirite (Numb. vi, 3 f.) seems to have been originally
part of the attempt to follow the old pastoral life, in
contrast with the Canaanite agricultural life; later it
received a religious coloring. The prohibition might begin
at the moment of the child's conception (Judg. xiii, 4, 14).
