1Then the Lord <03068> spoke <01696> to <0413> Moses <04872>:
2“Speak <01696> to <0413> the Israelites <03478> <01121>, and tell <0559> them, ‘When either a man <0376> or <0176> a woman <0802> takes a special <06381> vow <05088>, to take a vow <05087> as a Nazirite <05139>, to separate <05144> himself to the Lord <03069>,
3he must separate <05144> himself from wine <03196> and strong drink <07941>, he must drink <08354> neither <03808> vinegar <02558> made from wine <03196> nor vinegar <02558> made from strong drink <07941>, nor <03808> may he drink <08354> any <03605> juice <04952> of grapes <06025>, nor <03808> eat <0398> fresh <03892> grapes <06025> or raisins <03002>.
4All <03605> the days <03117> of his separation <05145> he must not <03808> eat <0398> anything <03605> that is produced <06213> by the grapevine <03196> <01612>, from seed <02785> to skin <02085>.
5“‘All <03605> the days <03117> of the vow <05088> of his separation <05145> no <03808> razor <08593> may be used <05674> on <05921> his head <07218> until <05704> the time <03117> is fulfilled <04390> for which <0834> he separated <05144> himself to the Lord <03068>. He will be <01961> holy <06918>, and he must let the locks <06545> of hair <08181> on his head <07218> grow <01431> long.
6“‘All <03605> the days <03117> that he separates <05144> himself to <05921> the Lord <03068> he must not <03808> contact <0935> a dead <04191> body <05315>.
7He must not <03808> defile <02930> himself even for his father <01> or his mother <0517> or his brother <0251> or his sister <0269> if they die <04194>, because <03588> the separation <05145> for his God <0430> is on <05921> his head <07218>.
8All <03605> the days <03117> of his separation <05145> he must be holy <06918> to the Lord <03068>.
9“‘If <03588> anyone dies <04191> <04191> very <06621> suddenly <06597> beside <05921> him and he defiles <02930> his consecrated <05145> head <07218>, then he must shave <01548> his head <07218> on the day <03117> of his purification <02893>– on the seventh <07637> day <03117> he must shave <01548> it.
10On the eighth <08066> day <03117> he is to bring <0935> two <08147> turtledoves <08449> or <0176> two <08147> young <01121> pigeons <03123> to <0413> the priest <03548>, to <0413> the entrance <06607> to the tent <0168> of meeting <04150>.
11Then the priest <03548> will offer <06213> one <0259> for a purification offering <02403> and the other <0259> as a burnt offering <05930>, and make atonement <03722> for <05921> him, because <0834> of his transgression <02398> in <05921> regard to the corpse <05315>. So he must reconsecrate <06942> his <01931> head <07218> on that day <03117>.
12He must rededicate <05144> to the Lord <03068> the days <03117> of his separation <05145> and bring <0935> a male lamb <03532> in its first <01121> year <08141> as a reparation offering <0817>, but the former <07223> days <03117> will not be counted <05307> because <03588> his separation <05145> was defiled <02930>.
13“‘Now this <02063> is the law <08451> of the Nazirite <05139>: When <03117> the days <03117> of his separation <05145> are fulfilled <04390>, he must be brought <0935> to <0413> the entrance <06607> of the tent <0168> of meeting <04150>,
14and he must present <07126> his offering <07133> to the Lord <03068>: one male lamb <03532> in its first <01121> year <08141> without blemish <08549> for a burnt offering <05930>, one <0259> ewe lamb <03535> in its first <0259> year <08141> without blemish <08549> for a purification offering <02403>, one <0259> ram <0352> without blemish <08549> for a peace offering <08002>,
15and a basket <05536> of bread made without yeast <04682>, cakes <02471> of fine flour <05560> mixed <01101> with olive oil <08081>, wafers <07550> made without yeast <04682> and smeared <04886> with olive oil <08081>, and their grain offering <04503> and their drink offerings <05262>.
16“‘Then the priest <03548> must present <07126> all these before <06440> the Lord <03068> and offer <06213> his purification offering <02403> and his burnt offering <05930>.
17Then he must offer <02077> the ram <0352> as a peace offering <08002> to the Lord <03068>, with the basket <05536> of bread <04682> made <06213> without yeast <04682>; the priest <03548> must also offer his grain offering <04503> and his drink offering <05262>.
18“‘Then the Nazirite <05139> must shave <01548> his consecrated <05145> head <07218> at the entrance <06607> to the tent <0168> of meeting <04150> and must take <03947> the hair <08181> from his consecrated <05145> head <07218> and put <05414> it on <05921> the fire <0784> where <0834> the peace offering <08002> is burning <02077> <08478>.
19And the priest <03548> must take <03947> the boiled <01311> shoulder <02220> of the ram <0352>, one <0259> cake <02471> made without yeast <04682> from <04480> the basket <05536>, and one <0259> wafer <07550> made without yeast <04682>, and put <05414> them on <05921> the hands <03709> of the Nazirite <05139> after <0310> he has shaved <01548> his consecrated <05145> head;
20then the priest <03548> must wave <05130> them as a wave offering <08573> before <06440> the Lord <03068>; it <01931> is a holy <06944> portion for the priest <03548>, together with <05921> the breast <02373> of the wave offering <08573> and the thigh <07785> of the raised offering <08641>. After <0310> this the Nazirite <05139> may drink <08354> wine <03196>.’
21“This <02063> is the law <08451> of the Nazirite <05139> who <0834> vows <05087> to the Lord <03068> his offering <07133> according <05921> to his separation <05145>, as well as <0905> whatever <0834> else he can provide <03027> <05381>. Thus <03651> he must fulfill <06213> his vow <05088> that <0834> he makes <05087>, according <06310> to <05921> the law <08451> of his separation <05145>.”
22The Lord <03068> spoke <01696> to <0413> Moses <04872>:
23“Tell <01696> Aaron <0175> and his sons <01121>, ‘This is the way <03541> you are to bless <01288> the Israelites <03478> <01121>. Say <0559> to them:
24“The Lord <03068> bless <01288> you and protect <08104> you;
25The Lord <03068> make <0215> his face <06440> to shine <0215> upon <0413> you, and be gracious <02603> to you;
26The Lord <03068> lift up <05375> his countenance <06440> upon <0413> you and give <07760> you peace <07965>.”’
27So they will put <07760> my name <08034> on <05921> the Israelites <03478> <01121>, and I <0589> will bless <01288> them.”
