Numbers 6:12-21
12and shall dedicate to the Lord his days 1as a 2Nazirite, and shall bring a male lamb a year old for a guilt offering; but the former days will be void because his separation was defiled.
13‘Now this is the law of the Nazirite 3when the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall bring 4the offering to the doorway of the tent of meeting. 14He shall present his offering to the Lord: one male lamb a year old without defect for a burnt offering and one 5ewe-lamb a year old without defect for a sin offering and one ram without defect for a peace offering, 15and a basket of 6unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil and unleavened wafers spread with oil, along with 7their grain offering and their drink offering. 16Then the priest shall present them before the Lord and shall offer his sin offering and his burnt offering. 17He shall also offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord, together with the basket of unleavened cakes; the priest shall likewise offer its grain offering and its drink offering. 188The Nazirite shall then shave his dedicated head of hair at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and take the dedicated hair of his head and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace offerings. 199The priest shall take the ram’s shoulder when it has been boiled, and one unleavened cake out of the basket and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the 10hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his 11dedicated hair. 20Then the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord. It is holy for the priest, together with the breast offered by waving and the thigh offered by lifting up; and 12afterward the Nazirite may drink wine.’
21“This is the law of the Nazirite who vows his offering to the Lord according to his separation, in addition to what else 13he can afford; according to his vow which he takes, so he shall do according to the law of his separation.”
