1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak
unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall
separate themselves to
vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:
3 He
shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall
drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink
any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
4 All
the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree,
from the kernels even to the husk.
5 All
the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head:
until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto
the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his
head grow.
6 All
the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no 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 the consecration of his God is upon
his head.
8 All
the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.
9 And
if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his
consecration; 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 turtles, or two young pigeons, to the
priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
11 And
the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt
offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and
shall hallow his head that same day.
12 And
he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a
lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before
shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
13 And
this is the
law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be
brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
14 And
he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year
without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year
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 wafers
of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink
offerings.
16 And
the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his
sin offering, and his burnt offering:
17 And
he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto
the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his
meat offering, and his drink offering.
18 And
the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head
of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under
the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
19 And
the priest shall take the sodden 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 Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven:
20 And
the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: this is holy
for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the
Nazarite may drink wine.
21 This is the
law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering unto the LORD for his
separation, beside that that his hand shall get: according to
the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.
22 And
the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak
unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children
of Israel, saying unto them,
24 The
LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The
LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 The
LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
