Numbers 6:5-11

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. 8Throughout the timeH3605H3117 of his separationH5145, heH1931 is holyH6918 to the LORDH3068.

9IfH3588 someone suddenlyH6621H6597 diesH4191 in his presenceH5921 and defilesH2930 his consecrated headH7218 of hairH5145, he must shaveH1548 his headH7218 on the dayH3117 of his cleansingH2893—the seventhH7637 dayH3117. 10On the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he must bringH935 twoH8147 turtledovesH8449 orH176 twoH8147 youngH1121 pigeonsH3123 toH413 the priestH3548 atH413 the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150. 11And the priestH3548 is to offerH6213 oneH259 as a sin offeringH24031 and the otherH259 as a burnt offeringH5930 to make atonementH3722 for himH5921, becauseH834 he has sinnedH2398 by being in the presenceH5921 of the dead bodyH5315. On thatH1931 dayH3117 he must consecrateH6942 his head againH7218.
