* And Yahweh spoke to Moses , saying , * Speak to the sons of Israel , and say to them , When either man or woman will make a special vow , the vow of a Nazirite , to separate himself to Yahweh , * he will separate himself from wine and strong drink ; he will drink no vinegar of wine , or vinegar of strong drink , neither will he drink any juice of grapes , nor eat fresh grapes or dried . * All the days of his separation he will eat nothing that is made of the grapevine , from the kernels even to the husk . * All the days of his vow of separation no razor will come upon his head : until the days be fulfilled , in which he separates himself to Yahweh , he will be holy ; he will let the locks of the hair of his head grow long . * All the days that he separates himself to Yahweh he will not come near to a dead body . * He will not make himself unclean for his father , or for his mother , for his brother , or for his sister , when they die ; because his separation to God is on his head . * All the days of his separation he is holy to Yahweh . * And if any man dies very suddenly beside him , and he defiles the head of his separation ; then he will shave his head in the day of his cleansing , on the seventh day he will shave it . * And on the eighth day he will bring two turtledoves , or two young pigeons , to the priest , to the door of the tent of meeting : * and the priest will 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 will hallow his head that same day . * And he will separate to Yahweh the days of his separation , and will bring a he-lamb a year old for a trespass-offering ; but the former days will be void , because his separation was defiled . * 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 : * and he will offer his oblation to Yahweh , 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 , * 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 . * And the priest will present them before Yahweh , and will offer his sin-offering , and his burnt-offering : * and he will offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Yahweh , with the basket of unleavened bread : the priest will offer also the meal-offering of it , and the drink-offering of it . * And the Nazirite will shave the head of his separation at the door of the tent of meeting , and will take the hair of the head of his separation , and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace-offerings . * And the priest will take the boiled shoulder of the ram , and one unleavened cake out of the basket , and one unleavened wafer , and will put them on the hands of the Nazirite , after he has shaven [the head of ] his separation ; * and the priest will wave them for a wave-offering before Yahweh ; this is holy for the priest , together with the wave-breast and heave-thigh : and after that the Nazirite may drink wine . * This is the law of the Nazirite who vows , [and of ] his oblation to Yahweh for his separation , besides that which he is able to get : according to his vow which he vows , so he must do after the law of his separation . * And Yahweh spoke to Moses , saying , * Speak to Aaron and to his sons , saying , On this wise you (note :){+}(:note ) will bless the sons of Israel : you {+} will say to them , * Yahweh bless you , and keep you : * Yahweh make his face to shine on you , and be gracious to you : * Yahweh lift up his countenance on you , and give you peace . * So they will put my name on the sons of Israel ; and I will bless them .
