Another piss poor unfinished translation from the KJV... https://biblehub.com/hebrew/5139.htm ... Nazir one consecrated or devoted to God read the next verse.... I will use the BSB version
Her "dignitaries" were brighter than snow, whiter than milk; their bodies were more ruddy than rubies, their appearance like sapphires.
But now their appearance is blacker than soot; they are not recognized in the streets. Their skin has shriveled on their bones; it has become as dry as a stick.
Basically the nazir thing has become something people do without consecration... you have metal heads, bums, teenagers all growing their hair out as a sign of rebellion... Like many other things it has been corrupted so real nazirs are harder to spot...
