2“SpeakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and sayH559 to them, ‘WhenH3588 a manH376 orH176 womanH802 makesH6381 a 1specialH6381 vowH5087, the vowH5088 of 2a 3NaziriteH5139, to 4dedicateH5144 himself to the LordH3068, 3he shall 5abstainH5144 from wineH3196 and strongH7941 drinkH7941; he shall drinkH7941 noH3808 vinegarH2558, whether made from wineH3196 or strongH7941 drinkH8354, norH3808 shall he drinkH8354 anyH3605 grapeH6025 juiceH4952 norH3808 eatH398 freshH3892 or driedH3002 grapesH6025. 4AllH3605 the daysH3117 of his 6separationH5145 he shall not eatH398 anythingH4480H3605 that is producedH6213 by the grapeH3196 vineH1612, from the seedsH2785 even to the skinH2085.
5‘AllH3605 the daysH3117 of his vowH5088 of separationH5145 7noH3808 razorH8593 shall passH5674 overH5921 his headH7218. He shall be holyH6918 untilH5704 the daysH3117 are fulfilledH4390 for whichH834 he separatedH5144 himself to the LordH3068; he shall let the locksH6545 of hairH8181 on his headH7218 growH1431 longH1431.
6‘8AllH3605 the daysH3117 of his separationH5144 to the LordH3068 he shall not goH935 near to a deadH4191 personH5315. 7He 9shall not makeH2930 himself uncleanH2930 for his fatherH1 or for his motherH517, for his brotherH251 or for his sisterH269, when they dieH4194, becauseH3588 his separationH5145 to GodH430 is on his headH7218. 8AllH3605 the daysH3117 of his separationH5145 he is holyH6918 to the LordH3068.
9‘But ifH3588 a man diesH4191 veryH6621 suddenlyH6597 besideH5921 him and he defilesH2930 his dedicatedH5145 headH7218 of hair, then 10he shall shaveH1548 his headH7218 on the dayH3117 when he becomesH2893 cleanH2893; 11he shall shaveH1548 it on the seventhH7637 dayH3117. 10Then on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he shall bringH935 12twoH8147 turtledovesH8449 orH176 twoH8147 youngH1121 pigeonsH3123 to the priestH3548, to the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 11The priestH3548 shall offerH6213 13oneH259 for a sinH2403 offeringH2403 and the otherH259 for a burntH5930 offeringH5930, and makeH3722 atonementH3722 for him 14concerningH4480H834 his sinH2398 becauseH5921 of the dead personH5315. And that sameH1931 dayH3117 he shall consecrateH6942 his headH7218, 12and shall dedicateH5144 to the LordH3068 his daysH3117 15as a 16NaziriteH5145, and shall bringH935 a maleH3532 lambH3532 a yearH8141 oldH1121 for a guiltH817 offeringH817; but the formerH7223 daysH3117 will be voidH5307 becauseH3588 his separationH5145 was defiledH2930.
