| 1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall make a special
vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself unto Jehovah, 3 he shall
separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar of
wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes,
nor eat fresh grapes or dried. 4 All the days of his separation shall he
eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the
husk.
5 All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor come upon his
head: until the days be fulfilled, in which he separateth himself unto
Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head
grow long.
6 All the days that he separateth himself unto Jehovah he shall not come
near to 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 unto God is upon his head. 8 All the days of his separation
he is holy unto Jehovah.
9 And if any man die very suddenly beside him, and he defile the head of
his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on
the seventh day shall he shave it. 10 And on the eighth day he shall bring
two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the
tent of meeting: 11 and the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and
the other for a burnt-offering, and make atonement for him, for that he
sinned by reason of the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.
12 And he shall separate unto Jehovah the days of his separation, and
shall bring a he-lamb a year old for a trespass-offering; but the former days
shall be void, because his separation was defiled.
13 And this is the law of the Nazirite, when the days of his separation
are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tent of meeting:
14 and he shall offer his oblation unto Jehovah, one he-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,
15 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil,
and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal-offering, and their
drink-offerings. 16 And the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and
shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering: 17 and he shall
offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, with the
basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also the meal-offering
thereof, and the drink-offering thereof. 18 And the Nazirite shall shave
the head of his separation at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take
the hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under
the sacrifice of peace-offerings. 19 And the priest shall take the boiled
shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one
unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he
hath shaven the head of his separation; 20 and the priest shall
wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah; this is holy for the priest,
together with the wave-breast and heave-thigh: and after that the Nazirite
may drink wine.
21 This is the law of the Nazirite who voweth, and of his oblation
unto Jehovah for his separation, besides that which he is able to get:
according to his vow which he voweth, so he must do after the law of his
separation.
22 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 23 Speak unto Aaron and unto
his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: ye
shall say unto them,
24 Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee:
25 Jehovah make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27 So shall they put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless
them.
