The Nazirites had to follow three main rules:
1. They didn't drink wine or eat grapes. It's like avoiding certain foods that might not be good for you. 2. They didn't cut their hair. It's like growing your hair long as a symbol of your promise to God. 3. They stayed away from dead bodies to stay pure and clean. It's like washing your hands to avoid germs.
Just like a scientist follows specific rules in an experiment to get the right results, Nazirites followed these rules to show their love and dedication to God. By keeping these rules, they showed God they were serious about their promise.
The chapter also talks about a special blessing that the priests would say over the people. It's like a prayer that asks God to bless and protect His people.
