Numbers 6:2-7
2“SpeakH1696 toH413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 and tellH559 them thatH413 ifH3588 a manH376 orH176 womanH802 makes a specialH6381 vowH5087, the vowH5088 of a NaziriteH5139,1 to separate himselfH5144 to the LORDH3068, 3he is to abstainH5144 from wineH3196 and strong drinkH7941. He must notH3808 drinkH8354 vinegarH2558 made from wineH3196H2558 or strong drinkH7941, and he must notH3808 drinkH8354 anyH3605 grapeH6025 juiceH4952 or eatH398 freshH3892 grapesH6025 or raisinsH3002H3808. 4AllH3605 the daysH3117 of his separationH5145, he is notH3808 to eatH398 anything that comes fromH6213 the grapevineH1612H3196, not even the seedsH2785 orH5704 skinsH2085.
5For the entireH3605 periodH3117 of his vowH5088 of separationH5145, noH3808 razorH8593 shall touchH5674H5921 his headH7218. He must beH1961 holyH6918 untilH5704 the timeH3117 ofH834 his separationH5144 to the LORDH3068 is completeH4390; he must let the hairH8181 of his headH7218 growH1431 longH6545.
6ThroughoutH3605 the daysH3117 of his separationH5144 to the LORDH3068, he must notH3808 goH935 nearH5921 a deadH4191 bodyH5315. 7Even if his fatherH1 or motherH517 or brotherH251 or sisterH269 should dieH4194, he is notH3808 to defile himselfH2930, becauseH3588 the symbol of consecrationH5145 to his GodH430 is uponH5921 his headH7218.
