Nazarites:
"Speakª ° unto¹ the childrenª of Israel,ª and sayª ° unto¹ them, When¹ either manª or¹ womanª shall separateª ° [themselves] to vowª ° a vowª of a Nazarite,ª to separateª ° [themselves] unto the LORD:ª ... This¹ [is] the lawª of the Nazariteª who¹ hath vowed,ª ° [and of] his offeringª unto the LORDª for¹ his separation,ª beside¹ ¹ [that] that¹ his handª shall get:ª ° according² to¹ the vowª which¹ he vowed,ª ° so¹ he must doª ° after¹ the lawª of his separation.ª" {Num 6:2-21} + "For,¹ lo,¹ thou shalt conceive,² ¹ and bearª ° a son;ª and no¹ razorª shall comeª ° on¹ his head:ª for¹ the childª shall be¹ a Nazariteª unto Godª from¹ the womb:ª and he¹ shall beginª ° to deliverª °¹ Israelª out of the handª ¹ of the Philistines.ª" {Jdg 13:5} + "But he saidª ° unto me, Behold,¹ thou shalt conceive,² ¹ and bearª ° a son;ª and now¹ drink² ¹ no¹ wineª nor strong drink,² °¹ neither¹ eatª ° any¹ uncleanª [thing]: for¹ the childª shall be¹ a Nazariteª to Godª from¹ the wombª to¹ the dayª of his death.ª" {Jdg 13:7} + "That he toldª ° her¹ all¹ his heart,ª and saidª ° unto her, There hath not¹ comeª ° a razorª upon¹ mine head;ª for¹ I¹ [have been] a Nazariteª unto Godª from my mother'sª womb:ª ¹ if¹ I be shaven,ª ° then my strengthª will goª ° from¹ me, and I shall become weak,ª ° and be¹ like any¹ [other] man.ª" {Jdg 16:17} + "And I raised upª ° of your sonsª ¹ for prophets,ª and of your young menª ¹ for Nazarites.ª [Is it] not¹ even¹ thus,¹ O ye childrenª of Israel?ª saithª ° the LORD.ª ... But ye gave¹ the Nazaritesª wineª to drink;ª ° and commandedª ° the prophets,ª saying,ª ° Prophesyª ° not.¹" {Ams 2:11-12} + "Forª he shall beª ° greatª in the sightª of the¹ Lord,ª andª shall drinkª ° neitherª wineª norª strong drink;ª andª he shall be filledª ° with the Holyª Ghost,ª evenª fromª his² ¹ mother'sª womb.ª" {Lke 1:15}

purer:
"And he sent,ª ° and brought¹ him in.² ° Now he¹ [was] ruddy,ª [and] withalª of a beautifulª countenance,ª and goodlyª to look to.ª And the LORDª said,ª ° Arise,ª ° anointª ° him: for¹ this¹ [is] he.¹" {1Sm 16:12} + "Purgeª ° me with hyssop,ª and I shall be clean:ª ° washª ° me, and I shall be whiterª ° than snow.ª ¹" {Psa 51:7} + "That¹ our sonsª [may be] as plantsª grown upª ° in their youth;ª [that] our daughtersª [may be] as corner stones,ª polishedª ° [after] the similitudeª of a palace:ª" {Psa 144:12} + "My belovedª [is] whiteª and ruddy,ª the chiefestª ° among ten thousand.ª ¹" {Sgs 5:10} + "And at the endª ¹ of tenª daysª their countenancesª appearedª ° fairerª and fatterª in fleshª than¹ all¹ the childrenª which did eatª °¹ the portion² ° of the king's² meat.ª ¹" {Dan 1:15}

their polishing:
Gizrathom rendered by Dr. Blayney, "their veining," from gazar to divide, intersect, as the blue veins do the surface of the body. This is approved by Dr. A. Clarke, who remarks, "Milk will most certainly well apply to the whiteness of the skin; the beautiful ruby to the ruddiness of the flesh; and the sapphire, in its clear, transcendent purple, to the veins in a fine complexion."
