Numbers 6:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Numbers 6:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If a man or a woman have vowed the special vow of a Nazarite, to consecrate themselves to Jehovah;

Numbers 6:3 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink: he shall drink no vinegar of wine, nor vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat grapes, fresh or dried.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "jehovah", "spoke", "moses", and "saying". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "jehovah" and "spoke", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The next verse adds "Speak unto the children of Israel and...", so "jehovah" and "spoke" should be read forward into that movement. In Numbers context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "jehovah" and "spoke" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
