can any one tell me from the bible what is nazarine,who is nazarine or where is nazarine?

Question

I always think that nazarine is another name for JESUS, I'm I wrong or what?

Answer 1

The term "Nazarine" has always been somewhat of a mystery, and there are several explanations.

Jesus was referenced as "Jesus the Nazarine" in the bible. This has led to some speculation. The Crusaders, when they got to the Holy Land in 11th century CE, thought it was a place name. They got heavy into locating and naming all the biblical references, and they assumed that Nazarine was a place. They made it a county, after failing to find the actual location, and put Bethlehem in that county.

However, historical records seem to indicate that there was no place named Nazarine, ever. And this has led to further speculation.

The current thought is that it is a reference to a "group". The times that Jesus lived in was well known for it's different "groups" or schools of thought. The Jewish traditions are littered with small groups that either followed a specific philosophy or religious leader or an ideal as put forward by learned men who studied the sacred texts at that time. "The Nazarine" may well have been one of those smaller schools that believed specific ideas and ideals at that time. John the Baptist was such an example, where he believed in the washing away of sins, and attracted a large following of believers at his time.

So, these will pop up in your answers. They are speculation at this time, no real proof for either explanation. But interesting none the less.

Answer 2

The town of Nazareth didn't exist in Christ's time. The translation of Nazirite into Nazarine was made to distance Jesus from the religious and political context of His times.

It appears very likely that Jesus was a member of the ascetic movement known as the Essenes, also known as Nazarites or Zealots. Selling a Messiah to the Romans (as Paul wanted to do) would be impossible if the Messiah in question was a member of the fiercely anti-Roman Essenes, so he had to fudge the records a bit to hide the connection.

Answer 3

There are two different kinds.

There are "Nazarites" according to the laws of Moses. These are men who feel they would like to dedicate themselves to God for a special set of rules in respect of God's authority, fatherhood and the symbols he has given us to learn from. Sampson was a Nazarite.

There are "Nazarenes", inhabitants of the hamlet of Nazareth. This "hamlet" didn't exist in Old Testament times and was never very large. Indications are that it never had a population of over 100 until the city of Sepporis was rebuilt. Sepphoris was right across the valley from Nazareth (less than 2 miles). It was the city where the Zealots were headquarted when Jesus was born, and the city was conquered by Herod Antipas when Jesus was a boy and then rebuilt. Since Joseph was a carpenter, he likely had work in the city for at least a decade and likely earned a nice living.

There's reason to believe that Joseph died before Jesus' ministry, because the gospels have Mary, Jesus and the brothers living in Capernaum, not Nazareth, when Jesus is 30 years old. Throughout the gospels, Mary is following Jesus around, and she would only do this if she were a widow. According to the gospels, Jesus only entered Nazareth once in 3 1/2 years.

Answer 4

A nazarine is some one who offers to take up a nazarite vow. Any jew can choose to take this vow. The reason why people do this is because they want to draw closer to God or to commit themselves to God because of answers prayer or avoided calamity. A nazarite vow can last for 7 days, 7 weeks or even a life time depending on the devotee. Other than Jesus another know person to have take the vow for a life time is Samson. There are 4 things a nazarite must follow:
1) Do not comsume alcohol or wine.
2) Do not go near or touch a dead body
3) Do not cut their hair
4) Do not dispose of any bodily fluids (Which mainly points to includes sexual intercourse and bleeding.)

Nazarite vows are taken by men only.

Answer 5

A Nazarene is some one from Nazareth, which is a city in Galilee. Luke 1:26, Matthew 2:23. Mary and Joseph were living in Nazareth when the angel Gabriel visited them to tell them that she was carring the Son of God. The were told to move to Bethlehem where Jesus was born. Luke 2:4-7. Shortly after Jesus was born they returned to Nazareth, Luke 2:39. This is where He grew up and why he is said to be a Nazarene. Luke 2:40, Luke 4:16

Answer 6

The word (In the KJV) is Nazarene. It is Matt. 2:23, and from context it clearly refers to anyone from Nazareth. A town. Therefore there have been thousands of "Nazarene's". The Messiah YAHOSHUA no doubt is the most famous and important, but by no means the only.... It is easy to get confused from the different term Nazarite, which refers to a special relationship between some people and the Almighty, either temporary or permanent-- (Sampson was to be a Nazarite from birth) The Hebrew "nezer" (Strong's 5144) which means "cut off" or "separate".

Answer 7

A person from Nazareth is a Nazarene. The term Nazarene can also mean the follower of Jesus of Nazareth.

Answer 8

A Nazarene is a person from Nazareth.
Jesus was a Nazarene.

A Nazarite is an ascetic Jew.

Answer 9

A person from Nazereth (where Jesus was born) is a Nazarine......hmmm heard they make good margarine there too

Answer 10

It is in a sense another name for Jesus. He was from Nazareth and so could be called a Nazarene.
