*
And the Lord spoke unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
and say unto them ,
When either man or woman pronounce an especial vow ,
the vow of a Nazarite ,
to be abstinent in honor of the Lord :
*
Then shall he abstain from wine and strong drink ,
vinegar of wine ,
or vinegar of strong drink shall he not drink ,
and any infusion of grapes shall he not drink ,
and grapes ,
fresh or dried ,
shall he not eat .
*
All the days of his abstinence shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape
vine ,
from the kernels even to the husk .
*
All the days of the vow of his abstinence no razor shall pass over his head :
until the days be completed ,
in which he abstaineth in honor of the Lord ,
shall he be holy ,
letting grow untouched the hair of his head .
*
All the days of his abstinence in honor of the Lord shall he not come near any dead body .
*
On his father ,
or on his mother ,
on his brother ,
or on his sister ,
shall he not make himself unclean ,
when they die ;
because the consecration of his God is upon his head .
*
All the days of his abstinence is he holy unto the Lord .
*
And if some one die very suddenly by him ,
and he thus defile his consecrated head :
then shall he shave his head on the day of his being cleansed ,
on the seventh day shall he shave it .
*
And on the eighth day shall he bring two turtle
doves ,
or two young pigeons ,
to the priest ,
to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation :
*
And the priest shall prepare the one for a sin
offering ,
and the other for a burnt
offering ,
and make an atonement for him ,
because he hath sinned through the dead ;
and he shall hallow his head on that same day .
*
And he shall consecrate unto the Lord the days of his abstinence ,
and he shall bring a sheep of the first year for a trespass
offering ;
but the prior days shall not be counted ,
because his consecration hath been defiled .
