{Numbers 6:1-27, 10:1-36}

    ^6:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ^6:2Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, When either man or woman will make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to Jehovah, ^6:3 he will separate himself from wine and strong drink. He will drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither will he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried. ^6:4 All the days of his separation he will eat nothing that is made of the grapevine, from the kernels even to the husk. ^6:5All the days of his vow of separation no razor will come upon his head. Until the days be fulfilled, in which he separates himself to Jehovah, he will be holy. He will let the locks of the hair of his head grow long. ^6:6 He will not come near to a dead body all the days that he separates himself to Jehovah. ^6:7 He will not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die, because his separation to God is upon his head. ^6:8 All the days of his separation he is holy to Jehovah.

    ^6:9 And if any man dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles the head of his separation, then he will shave his head in the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he will shave it. ^6:10 And on the eighth day he will bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting. ^6:11 And the priest will offer one for a sin-offering and the other for a burnt-offering and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead and will sanctify his head that same day. ^6:12And he will separate to Jehovah the days of his separation and will bring a male-lamb a year old for a guilt-offering. But the former days will be void, because his separation was defiled.

    ^6:13 And this is the law of the Nazirite when the days of his separation are fulfilled: He will be brought to the door of the tent of meeting, ^6:14 and he will offer his offering to Jehovah: one male-lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt-offering and one ewe-lamb a year old without blemish for a sin-offering and one ram without blemish for peace-offerings, ^6:15 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil and unleavened wafers anointed with oil and their food-offering and their drink-offerings. ^6:16 And the priest will present them before Jehovah and will offer his sin-offering and his burnt-offering. ^6:17 And he will offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest will also offer the food-offering of it and the drink-offering of it.

    ^6:18 And the Nazirite will shave the head of his separation at the door of the tent of meeting and will take the hair of the head of his separation and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace-offerings. ^6:19 And the priest will take the boiled shoulder of the ram and one unleavened cake out of the basket and one unleavened wafer and will put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaven his separation, ^6:20 and the priest will wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah. This is holy for the priest, together with the wave-offering and heave-offering. And after that the Nazirite may drink wine.

    ^6:21 This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his offering to Jehovah for his separation, besides what he is able to get. According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the law of his separation.

    ^6:22 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ^6:23Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This way you^* will bless the sons of Israel: You^* will say to them, ^6:24 Jehovah bless you and keep you. ^6:25Jehovah make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. ^6:26 Jehovah lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. ^6:27 So will they put my name upon the sons of Israel and I will bless them.
