Chapter 6

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses, saying,²

Speak¹⁶ unto the children of Israel, and say¹ unto them, When either man or woman shall separate⁵⁵ [themselves] to vow² a vow of a Nazarite, to separate⁵³ [themselves] unto the LORD:

He shall separate⁵⁵ [himself] from wine and strong drink, and shall drink⁴ no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink⁴ any liquor of grapes, nor eat⁴ moist grapes, or dried.

All the days of his separation shall he eat⁴ nothing that is made¹¹ of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.

All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come⁴ upon his head: until the days be fulfilled,² in the which he separateth⁵⁵ [himself] unto the LORD, he shall be holy, [and] shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.¹⁵

All the days that he separateth⁵³ [himself] unto the LORD he shall come⁴ at no dead⁵ body.

He shall not make himself unclean¹⁰¹ for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God [is] upon his head.

All the days of his separation he [is] holy unto the LORD.

And if any man⁵ die⁴ very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled¹⁴ the head of his consecration; then he shall shave¹⁴ his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave¹⁷ it.

And on the eighth day he shall bring⁵⁵ two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

And the priest shall offer¹ the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement¹⁴ for him, for that he sinned¹ by the dead, and shall hallow¹⁴ his head that same day.

And he shall consecrate⁵² unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring⁵² a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost,⁴ because his separation was defiled.¹

And this [is] the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled:^{2 3117} he shall be brought⁵⁵ unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

And he shall offer⁵² 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 mingled⁷ with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed⁷ with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.

And the priest shall bring⁵² [them] before the LORD, and shall offer¹ his sin offering, and his burnt offering:

And he shall offer⁴ the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer¹ also his meat offering, and his drink offering.

And the Nazarite shall shave¹⁴ the head of his separation [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take¹ the hair of the head of his separation, and put¹ [it] in the fire which [is] under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.

And the priest shall take¹ the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put¹ [them] upon the hands of the Nazarite, after [the hair of] his separation is shaven:⁹⁹

And the priest shall wave⁵² them [for] a wave offering before the LORD: this [is] holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink⁴ wine.

This [is] the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed,⁴ [and of] his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside [that] that his hand shall get:⁵⁵ according to the vow which he vowed,⁴ so he must do⁴ after the law of his separation.

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses, saying,²

Speak¹⁶ unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying,² On this wise ye shall bless¹⁷ the children of Israel, saying² unto them,

The LORD bless¹⁷ thee, and keep⁴ thee:

The LORD make his face shine⁵⁵ upon thee, and be gracious⁴ unto thee:

The LORD lift up⁴ his countenance upon thee, and give⁴ thee peace.

And they shall put¹ my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless¹⁷ them.
