Mnadhiri (kutoka Kiebrania נזיר, nazir, maana yake "aliyewekwa wakfu" au "aliyetengwa") katika Biblia ni mtu mwenye nadhiri iliyoratibiwa na Hes 6:1–21. Humo tunasikia masharti ya nadhiri: Kuepa aina zote za vileo, ikiwa pamoja na siki, na hata kumeza chochote chenye sehemu za zabibu. Kutonyoa kabisa. Kutotiwa unajisi kwa kugusa maiti, hata kama ni kwa kushiriki mazishi ya ndugu. Kati ya wanadhiri wa kudumu walio maarufu zaidi kuna Samsoni na Yohane Mbatizaji. Alternatively "crowned", see Abraham ibn Ezra's biblical commentary In Modern Hebrew the word "nazir" is commonly used for monks, both Christian and Buddhist – this meaning having largely displaced the original Biblical meaning. The New JPS translation is: "wine and any other intoxicant". Classical Rabbinical interpretation permits non-grape alcohols. Hesabu 6:3 Hesabu 6:3-4 Hesabu 6:5 Hesabu 6:6-7 See: Chepey, S.
