Strong's Lexicon minzar: Consecration, separation Original Word: מִנְּזָר Word Origin: Derived from the root נזר (nazar), meaning "to dedicate" or "to consecrate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concept can be found in terms like ἁγιασμός (hagiasmos), meaning "sanctification" or "holiness," which appears in passages such as 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4. Usage: The term "minzar" is used to denote a state of consecration or separation, often in a religious or spiritual context. It implies a setting apart for a holy purpose, typically associated with vows or commitments made to God. This concept is closely related to the Nazirite vow, where individuals would separate themselves for a period of time to dedicate themselves to the Lord. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the idea of consecration was central to religious life. The Nazirite vow, as described in Numbers 6, was a voluntary act of devotion where individuals would abstain from wine, refrain from cutting their hair, and avoid contact with the dead. This vow was a physical manifestation of an inner spiritual commitment, symbolizing purity and dedication to God. The practice of taking such vows was a way for individuals to express their devotion and seek a closer relationship with the divine.
