Numbers 6

VIN^{(i) 1} the LORD said to Moses: ² "Speak to the Israelites and say to them, 'When a man or a woman takes a special vow, a vow of a Nazirite, to keep separate for the LORD, ³ he will abstain from wine and fermented drink; he will not drink wine vinegar or vinegar of fermented drink; he will not drink the fruit juice of grapes or eat fresh or dry grapes. ⁴ "'As long as they are Nazirites they must never eat anything that comes from a grapevine, not even grape seeds or skins. ⁵ All the time of his separation no razor shall pass over his head, until the day be fulfilled of his consecration to the Lord. He shall be holy, and shall let the hair of his head grow. ⁶ All the days of his separation to the LORD he shall not go near a dead person. ⁷ for even his father, mother, brother, or sister he will not make himself unclean by their death, because the separation to his 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 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, at the entrance 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 must dedicate to the LORD the days of his consecration by bringing a year old male lamb as his offering. The previous days failed because his consecration has become defiled. 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, ¹⁴ And he shall present his offering to the LORD, one yearling he-lamb without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one yearling ewe-lamb without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for a peace-offering; ¹⁵ A basket also of unleavened bread, tempered with oil, and wafers without leaven anointed with oil, and the libations of each: ¹⁶ The priest shall present them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering. ¹⁷ Giving the sheep of the peace-offerings, with the basket of unleavened bread; and at the same time, the priest will make his meal offering and his drink offering. ¹⁸ Then shall the hair of the consecration of the Nazarite, be shaved off before the door of the tabernacle of the covenant: and he shall take his hair, and lay it upon the fire, which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings. ¹⁹ And the priest will take the cooked leg of the sheep and one unleavened cake and one thin cake out of the basket, and put them on the hands of the separate one after his hair has been cut, ²⁰ and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh. 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 Nazarite who has vowed his offering to the LORD for his separation, besides that which he is able to get. According to the vow which he vowed, so he must do according to the law of his separation. ²² the LORD said to Moses: ²³ "Tell Aaron and his sons: 'This is how you will bless the Israelites. Say to them: ²⁴ The LORD bless you, and keep you: ²⁵ the LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. ²⁶ the LORD lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.’ ²⁷ And they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them."
