1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man or a woman doth separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself unto the Lord,
3He shall abstain from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no sour wine nor sour drink, nor shall drink any liquor of grapes, neither shall eat fresh grapes nor dried.
4As long as his abstinence endureth, shall he eat nothing that is made of the wine of the vine, neither the kernels nor the husk.
5While he is separated by his vow, the razor shall not come upon his head, until the days be out, 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.
6During the time that he separateth himself unto the Lord, he shall come at no dead body:
7He shall not make himself unclean at the death of his father or mother, brother, or sister: for the consecration of his God is upon his head.
8All the days of his separation he shall be holy to the Lord.
9And if any die suddenly by him, or he beware, then the head of his consecration shall be defiled, and he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing: in the seventh day he shall shave it.
10And in the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons to the Priest, at the door of the tabernacle of the Congregation.
11Then the Priest shall prepare the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and shall make an atonement for him, because he sinned by the dead: so shall he hallow his head the same day.
12And he shall consecrate unto the Lord the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of a year old for a trespass offering, and the first days shall be void: for his consecration was defiled.
13This then is the law of the Nazirite: when the time of his consecration is out, he shall come to the door of the tabernacle of the Congregation,
14And he shall bring his offering unto the Lord, an he lamb of a year old without blemish, for a burnt offering, and a she lamb of a year old without blemish, for a sin offering, and a ram without blemish, for peace offerings,
15And a basket of unleavened bread, of Cakes of fine flour, mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings:
16The which the Priest shall bring before the Lord, and make his sin offering and his burnt offering.
17He shall prepare also the ram for a peace offering unto the Lord, with the basket of unleavened bread, and the Priest shall make his meat offering, and his drink offering.
18And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his consecration at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his consecration, and put it in the fire which is under the peace offering.
19Then the Priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and an unleavened cake out of the basket, and a wafer unleavened, and put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he hath shaven his consecration.
20And the Priest shall shake them to and fro before the Lord: this is an holy thing for the Priest besides the shaken breast, and besides the heave shoulder: so afterward the Nazirite may drink wine.
21This is the law of the Nazirite, which he hath vowed, and of his offering unto the Lord for his consecration, besides that that he is able to bring: according to the vow which he vowed, so shall he do after the law of his consecration.
22And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, Thus shall ye bless the children of Israel, and say unto them,
24The Lord bless thee, and keep thee,
25The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be merciful unto thee,
26The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27So they shall put my Name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.
