**שֶׁלֹּא יֹאכַל הַנָּזִיר צִמּוּקִים** – שֶׁלֹּא יֹאכַל הַנָּזִיר צִמּוּקִים, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (במדבר ו ג) וַעֲנָבִים לַחִים וִיבֵשִׁים לֹא יֹאכֵל. שֶׁלֹּא תֹּאמַר הוֹאִיל וְנִשְׁתַּנָּה שְׁמָם שֶׁנִּקְרָאִים צִמּוּקִים וְלֹא עֲנָבִים הֻתְּרוּ, לְפִיכָךְ בֵּאֵר הַכָּתוּב הָאִסּוּר גַּם בָּהֶם. וְכָל עִנְיָנָהּ בַּמִּצְוֹת הַקּוֹדְמוֹת. וּמִי שֶׁאָכַל כַּזַּיִת מֵהֶם לוֹקֶה.

**Sefer HaChinukh, translated by R. Francis Nataf, Sefaria 2018:**
**That the nazirite not eat raisins:** That the nazirite not eat raisins, as it is stated (Numbers 6:3), “and damp and dry grapes shall he not eat.” [It is] such that you should not say, since they have changed their name — as they are called raisins and not grapes — they have become permissible. Hence the verse elucidated the prohibition with them also. And all of its content is in the previous commandments. And one who ate a *kazayit* of them is lashed.
