What does Numbers 6:17 Mean?

Context Summary

Numbers 6:13-27 - The Nazarite Offering The Priestly Blessing
Take heed, O Christian soul, who has dedicated thyself to some lofty purpose, to be warned by the law of the Nazarite! Thy God expects of thee a more careful walk than is required of others. The cups of gaiety of which they drink are not for thee. Shame and contumely may fall to thy lot, from which they escape.
Thou art specially to beware against defiling contact with aught that savors of death-those who are dead in trespasses and sins. Go with them only to save them, but never to participate in their ways.
If the Nazarite vows were vitiated, even by accident, the time that had elapsed was cancelled. Ah, how many of our days we have rendered void! The beautiful benediction with which the chapter closes has its counterpart in 2 Corinthians 13:14. What the human lips spoke on earth, God authenticated from heaven, Numbers 6:27. Be very careful for the honor of the Name! 3 John 1:7. [source]
