rsv Numbers:6:1-12
rsv@Numbers:6:1 @ And the LORD said to Moses,
rsv@Numbers:6:2 @ "Say to the people of Israel, When either a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD,
rsv@Numbers:6:3 @ he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar made from wine or strong drink, and shall not drink any juice of grapes or eat grapes, fresh or dried.
rsv@Numbers:6:4 @ All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, not even the seeds or the skins.
rsv@Numbers:6:5 @ "All the days of his vow of separation no razor shall come upon his head; until the time is completed for which he separates himself to the LORD, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of hair of his head grow long.
rsv@Numbers:6:6 @ "All the days that he separates himself to the LORD he shall not go near a dead body.
rsv@Numbers:6:7 @ Neither for his father nor for his mother, nor for brother or sister, if they die, shall he make himself unclean; because his separation to God is upon his head.
rsv@Numbers:6:8 @ All the days of his separation he is holy to the LORD.
rsv@Numbers:6:9 @ "And if any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it.
rsv@Numbers:6:10 @ On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest to the door of the tent of meeting,
rsv@Numbers:6:11 @ and the priest shall offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead body. And he shall consecrate his head that same day,
rsv@Numbers:6:12 @ and separate himself to the LORD for the days of his separation, and bring a male lamb a year old for a guilt offering; but the former time shall be void, because his separation was defiled.
