Numbers 1:1-4 NET
1Then the Lord spoke to Moses: 2 “Speak to the Israelites, and tell them, ‘When either a man or a woman 1 takes a special vow, to take a vow as a Nazirite, to separate himself to the Lord, 3he must separate himself from wine and strong drink, he must drink neither vinegar made from wine nor vinegar made from strong drink, nor may he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or raisins. 4 All the days of his separation he must not eat anything that is produced by the grapevine, from seed to skin.
This reminds me of the promise of Abraham's seed and the wine of the New Covenant He brings. That promised One took on the skin of man, our flesh, and upon Himself the sins that resided in that flesh. The seed of His word and gospel take root to hide us in His righteousness. We are freed by His grace and will shed mortality for immortality.
