nazir 5

working out when to go to the barbers - from the scroll, from the letters or from one's status.

nazir 4

the permanent nazir who can cut his hair if it is too heavy - but can't be near the dead. Knives and blades are for shaving and trimming.

and the Samsonite nazir who can go near the dead, but can't cut his hair. Knives are for killing.

nazir 3

making the vow while holding the hair,
and listing all the prohibited things.
- nothing is ambiguous

nazir 2

why be a nazir?

either are inspired by another to grow one's hair to be beautiful,

or

to abstain from wine out of disgust for the one whose hair is exposed and dishevelled.
