Numbers 6

1And Jehovah spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2SpeakH1696 unto the children of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, When either manH376 or womanH802 shall makeH5087 a special vowH5088, the vowH5088 of a NaziriteH5139, to separate himself unto Jehovah, 3he shall separate himself from wineH3196 and strongH7941 drinkH8354; he shall drinkH8354 no vinegarH2558 of wineH3196, or vinegarH2558 of strongH7941 drinkH8354, neither shall he drinkH8354 any juice of grapes, nor eatH398 freshH3892 grapes or driedH3002. 4All the daysH3117 of his separation shall he eatH398 nothing that is madeH6213 of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the husk.

5All the daysH3117 of his vowH5088 of separation there shall no razorH8593 come upon his headH7218: until the daysH3117 beH1961 fulfilled, in which he separateth himself unto Jehovah, he shall beH1961 holyH6918; he shall let the locks of the hairH8181 of his headH7218 growH1431 long.

6All the daysH3117 that he separateth himself unto Jehovah he shall not comeH935 near to a deadH4191 body. 7He shall not makeH2930 himself uncleanH2930 for his fatherH1, or for his motherH517, for his brotherH251, or for his sisterH269, when they die; because his separation unto GodH430 is upon his headH7218. 8All the daysH3117 of his separation he is holyH6918 unto Jehovah.

9And if any man dieH4191 very suddenlyH6597 beside him, and he defileH2930 the headH7218 of his separation; then he shall shaveH1548 his headH7218 in the dayH3117 of his cleansing, on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 shall he shaveH1548 it. 10And on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he shall bringH935 twoH8147 turtle-doves, or twoH8147 youngH1121 pigeons, to the priestH3548, to the doorH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150: 11and the priestH3548 shall offerH6213 oneH259 for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and makeH6213 atonementH3722 for him, for that he sinnedH2398 by reason of the dead, and shall hallow his headH7218 that same dayH3117. 12And he shall separate unto Jehovah the daysH3117 of his separation, and shall bringH935 a he-lamb a yearH8141 old for a trespass-offering; but the formerH7223 daysH3117 shall be void, because his separation was defiledH2930.

13And this is the lawH8451 of the NaziriteH5139, when the daysH3117 of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be broughtH935 unto the doorH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150: 14and he shall offer his oblation unto Jehovah, oneH259 he-lamb a yearH8141 old without blemish for a burnt-offering, and oneH259 ewe-lamb a yearH8141 old without blemish for a sin-offering, and oneH259 ramH352 without blemish for peace-offerings, 15and a basketH5536 of unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, cakesH2471 of fineH5560 flourH5560 mingled with oilH8081, and unleavenedH4682 wafersH7550 anointedH4886 with oilH8081, and their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings. 16And the priestH3548 shall presentH7126 them before Jehovah, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering: 17and he shall offer the ramH352 for a sacrificeH2077 of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, with the basketH5536 of unleavenedH4682 breadH4682: the priestH3548 shall offer also the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof. 18And the NaziriteH5139 shall shaveH1548 the headH7218 of his separation at the doorH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and shall takeH3947 the hairH8181 of the headH7218 of his separation, and putH5414 it on the fireH784 which is under the sacrificeH2077 of peace-offerings. 19And the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 the boiledH1311 shoulder of the ramH352, and oneH259 unleavenedH4682 cakeH2471 out of the basketH5536, and oneH259 unleavenedH4682 waferH7550, and shall putH5414 them upon the handsH3709 of the NaziriteH5139, after he hath shaven the head of his separation; 20and the priestH3548 shall wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah; this is holyH6944 for the priestH3548, together with the wave-breast and heave-thigh: and after that the NaziriteH5139 may drinkH8354 wineH3196.

21This is the lawH8451 of the NaziriteH5139 who voweth, and of his oblation unto Jehovah for his separation, besides that which he is able to get: according to his vowH5088 which he voweth, so he must do after the lawH8451 of his separation.

22And Jehovah spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 23SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175 and unto his sonsH1121, sayingH559, On this wise ye shall blessH1288 the children of IsraelH3478: ye shall sayH559 unto them,

24Jehovah blessH1288 thee, and keepH8104 thee:

25Jehovah makeH215 his faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

26Jehovah liftH5375 up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peaceH7965.

27So shall they putH7760 my nameH8034 upon the children of IsraelH3478; and I will blessH1288 them.
