Numbers 6:14-15 commentary

It is no coincidence that the Godhead is revealed in Numbers chapter six, where the vow of the Nazarite is described. The vow was open for both women and men to take. No one--either men or women--needed to ask anyone's permission to take this vow, and no one could legally interfere with it once taken.

Famous Nazarites were Sampson and Samuel. This writer believes Anna and John the Baptist also lived their lives under a Nazarite vow.

Numbers 6:13-14

And this is the law of the Nazarite when the days of their separation are fulfilled they shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation And they shall offer their offering to YHWH one he lamb of the first year [Jesus/Son] without blemish for a burnt offering and one ewe lamb [Holy Spirit/Ruwach (always portrayed as feminine)] of the first year without blemish for a sin offering and one ram [Son who is given/Everlasting Father] without blemish for peace offerings

He Lamb (Son) She Lamb(HS) Ram (Father)

It can be argued that all three of these sacrifices represent Jesus, and that is true. They do. But it would not negate the appearance of the Godhead in the sacrifices required at consummation of a Nazarite's vow. After all, Jesus is YHWH, the Holy Spirit is YHWH, and the Father is YHWH.
