1 The
LORD spoke to
Moses, saying,
2 “Speak
to the children
of Israel, and
tell them: ‘When
either man or woman
shall make a
special vow, the
vow of a
Nazirite, to
separate himself
to the LORD,
3 he
shall separate
himself from wine
and strong drink.
He shall drink
no vinegar of
wine, or vinegar
of fermented drink,
neither shall he
drink any juice
of grapes, nor eat
fresh grapes or
dried.
4 All
the days of
his separation he
shall eat nothing
that is made
of the grapevine,
from the seeds
even to the skins.
5 “ ‘All
the days of
his vow of
separation no
razor shall come
on his head,
until the days
are fulfilled in
which he separates
himself to the
LORD. He shall
be holy. He
shall let the
locks of the
hair of his
head grow long.
6 “ ‘All
the days that
he separates
himself to the
LORD he shall
not go near
a dead body.
7 He
shall 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 on his
head.
8 All
the days of
his separation he
is holy to
the LORD.
9 “ ‘If
any man dies
very suddenly
beside him, and
he defiles the
head of his
separation, then
he shall shave
his head in
the day of
his cleansing. On
the seventh day
he shall shave
it.
10 On
the eighth day
he shall bring two
turtledoves or two
young pigeons to
the priest, to
the door of
the Tent of
Meeting.
11 The
priest shall 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 shall
make his head
holy that same
day.
12 He
shall separate to
the LORD the
days of his
separation, and
shall bring a
male lamb a
year old for
a trespass offering;
but the former
days shall be
void, because his
separation was
defiled.
13 “ ‘This
is the law
of the Nazirite:
when the days
of his separation
are fulfilled, he
shall be brought
to the door
of the Tent of
Meeting,
14 and
he shall offer
his offering to
the LORD: one
male lamb a
year old without
defect for a
burnt offering,
one ewe lamb
a year old
without defect for
a sin offering,
one ram without
defect for peace
offerings,
15 a
basket of
unleavened bread,
cakes of fine
flour mixed with
oil, and
unleavened wafers
anointed with oil
with their meal
offering and their
drink offerings.
16 The
priest shall
present them
before the LORD,
and shall offer
his sin offering
and his burnt
offering.
17 He
shall offer the ram
for a sacrifice
of peace offerings
to the LORD,
with the basket
of unleavened
bread. The priest
shall offer also
its meal offering
and its drink
offering.
18 The
Nazirite shall
shave the head
of his separation
at the door
of the Tent of
Meeting, take the
hair of the
head of his
separation, and
put it on
the fire which is
under the
sacrifice of peace
offerings.
19 The
priest shall take
the boiled
shoulder of
the ram, one
unleavened cake
out of the
basket, and one
unleavened wafer,
and shall put
them on the
hands of the
Nazirite after he
has shaved the head
of his separation;
20 and
the priest shall
wave them for
a wave offering
before the LORD.
They are holy
for the priest,
together with the
breast that is
waved and the
thigh that is
offered. After
that the Nazirite
may drink wine.
21 “ ‘This
is the law
of the Nazirite
who vows and
of his offering
to the LORD
for his separation,
in addition to
that which he
is able to
afford. According
to his vow
which he vows,
so he must do
after the law
of his
separation.’ ”
22 The
LORD spoke to
Moses, saying,
23 “Speak
to Aaron and to
his sons, saying,
‘This is how you
shall bless the
children of
Israel.’ You shall
tell them,
24 ‘The
LORD bless you,
and keep you.
25 The
LORD make his
face to shine on
you,
and be gracious
to you.
26 The
LORD lift up
his face toward
you,
and give you
peace.’
27 “So
they shall put
my name on
the children of
Israel; and I
will bless them.”
