Numbers 6:6-11

6While they are dedicated to the Lord as Nazirites, they must never go near a dead body.

7Even if their own father, mother, brother, or sister dies, they must not make themselves unclean  by going near them. Nazarites show their vow to God with their long hair.

8As long as they are Nazirites, they will be holy to the Lord.

9“Someone might suddenly drop dead next to a Nazirite and make the Nazirite’s hair unclean. Seven days later he must shave his head in order to be declared clean.

10On the eighth day he must bring two mourning doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

11The priest will sacrifice one as an offering for sin and the other one as a burnt offering. The priest will make peace with the Lord for the person who touched the dead body. That same day the person must dedicate his head again.
