Numbers 6:5-11

5A person must not cut his hair during the time that he is a Nazirite. He must be different all the time that he is separate for the Lord. He must let the hair on his head grow long.

6He must not go near a dead body while he is separate for the Lord.

7His hair shows that he is separate for God. So he must not go near a dead body. He must not go near it even if the dead person is his father, mother, brother or sister.

8During the time that the person is a Nazirite, they are holy because they belong to the Lord.

9The Nazirite may be near to a person when that person dies suddenly. Then his head becomes unclean. He must remove all the hair from his head seven days after the person dies. Then he will be clean.

10On day 8, he must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the door of the Tent of Meeting. He must give them to the priest.

11The priest must sacrifice one bird as a sin offering and the other bird as a burnt offering. The priest must do that because the Nazirite sinned. He went too near to a dead body. That will make the Nazirite's head clean again on that same day.
