5.20 Nazarites and the Sanhedrin

This episode continues the deep dive into the Book of Numbers, again focusing on a few of the people and things uncovered in the text. This week I work through the group known as the Nazarites, essentially people who took a vow to avoid alcohol, not cut their hair, and avoid dead bodies. Why would they do this? Finally, I cover the creation and evolution of the Israelite Sanhedrin, the council of judges that served as the supreme court of their land. Listen to learn. After listening, let me know what you think.
