* And the LORD spoke unto Moses , saying : * Speak unto the children of Israel , and say unto them : When either man or woman shall clearly utter a vow , the vow of a Nazirite , to consecrate himself unto the LORD , * he shall abstain from wine and strong drink : he shall drink no vinegar of wine , or vinegar of strong drink , neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes , nor eat fresh grapes or dried . * All the days of his Naziriteship shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine , from the pressed grapes even to the grapestone . * All the days of his vow of Naziriteship there shall no razor come upon his head ; until the days be fulfilled , in which he consecrateth himself unto the LORD , he shall be holy , he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long . * All the days that he consecrateth himself unto the LORD he shall not come near to a dead body . * 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 consecration unto God is upon his head . * All the days of his Naziriteship he is holy unto the LORD . * And if any man die very suddenly beside him , and he defile his consecrated head , then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing , on the seventh day shall he shave it . * And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves , or two young pigeons , to the priest , to the door of the tent of meeting . * And the priest shall prepare 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 he shall hallow his head that same day . * And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his Naziriteship , and shall bring a he-lamb of the first year for a guilt - offering ; but the former days shall be void , because his consecration was defiled . * And this is the law of the Nazirite , when the days of his consecration are fulfilled : he shall bring it unto the door of the tent of meeting ; * and he shall present 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 , * and a basket of unleavened bread , cakes of fine flour mingled with oil , and unleavened wafers spread with oil , and their meal - offering , and their drink-offerings . * And the priest shall bring them before the LORD , and shall offer his sin-offering , and his burnt-offering . * 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 the meal-offering thereof , and the drink-offering thereof . * And the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head at the door of the tent of meeting , and shall take the hair of his consecrated head , and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace-offerings . * And the priest shall take the shoulder of the ram when it is sodden , 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 his consecrated head . * And the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before the LORD ; this is holy for the priest , together with the breast of waving and the thigh of heaving ; and after that the Nazirite may drink wine . * This is the law of the Nazirite who voweth , and of his offering unto the LORD for his Naziriteship , beside that for which his means suffice ; according to his vow which he voweth , so he must do after the law of his Naziriteship . * And the LORD spoke unto Moses , saying : * 'Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons , saying : On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel ; ye shall say unto them : * The LORD bless thee , and keep thee ; * The LORD make His face to shine upon thee , and be gracious unto thee ; * The LORD lift up His countenance upon thee , and give thee peace . * So shall they put My name upon the children of Israel , and I will bless them .'
