A very good example of how Bible is the vow of Nazarite. Rastas, to explain their way of life, often refer to the Nazarite vow, as presented in the Bible (Numbers 6:1-21). This wish to be temporary, the person sanctifies the following for a period during which that person must follow certain rules of life. These rules are mostly those referred to in the Rastafarian way of life.4. They are, for the most typical:not to cut or comb his hair the hair, resulting in the appearance of dreadlocks;not to eat meat (vegetarians);not to consume the fruit of the vine.Finally, this wish is supposed to be temporary, and the text of Numbers then specifies how and when the wish to be completed. In particular, a Nazarite shall not cross a dead man, on pain of having to break his vow. This is reflected in a number of songs, illustrated by this sentence: "Rasta do not go to no funeral" or "the rasta did not attend any funeral." In general, death is a taboo for Rastafarians, and silent on this theme in a very spiritual and quite difficult to grasp for the uninitiated.The strict application of this vow rasta lifestyle is not without bringing to discussion. Above all, this text and terms of applications of the vow of Nazarite, like many texts of the Old Testament, the question of the time lag and culture. Indeed we have only see the steps to take to break the vow to understand it can not be applied identically to our days5. Then, this wish is supposed to be temporary (seven years), whereas the Rasta way of life he should be able to practice all his life.Thus, another characteristic point of Nazarites was wearing dreads, port which is source of much controversy. [Ref. needed] The debate whether the dreads are necessary for a rasta is still important today. Thus, some Rastafarians believe that without rasta dreads is not one, others, like members of the Twelve Tribes of Israel or the Morgan Heritage (including Do not Haffi Dread Title To Be Rasta) think the not. Finally, we must remember that the wearing of dreadlocks is a mode that has developed in the ghettos of Kingston, for a generation of Rastafarians emerged after the destruction of Pinnacle. The wearing of dreadlocks was not initially the brand followers of Rasta, bearded men who were then as they grow a beard. So the answer to the need to wear dreads to be found by everyone, but many Rastas believe that this hairstyle does codifies most belonging to their movement.
