Numbers 6:9-18

9‘But if someone dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles his consecrated head of hair, then 1he shall shave his head on the day when he becomes clean; 2he shall shave it on the seventh day. 10Then on the eighth day he shall bring 3two turtledoves or two young doves to the priest, to the entrance of the tent of meeting. 11And the priest shall offer 4one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and make atonement for him 5regarding his sin because of the dead person. And on that same day he shall consecrate his head, 12and shall live his days of consecration as a Nazirite for the Lord, and shall bring a male lamb a year old as a guilt offering; but the preceding days will 6not count, because his consecration was defiled.

13‘Now this is the law of the Nazirite 7when the days of his consecration are fulfilled: he shall bring 8his offering to the entrance of the tent of meeting. 14And he shall present his offering to the Lord: one male lamb a year old without defect as a burnt offering, one 9ewe lamb a year old without defect as a sin offering, one ram without defect as a peace offering, 15and a basket of 10unleavened loaves of fine flour mixed with oil and unleavened wafers spread with oil, along with 11their grain offering and their drink offering. 16Then the priest shall present them before the Lord and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering. 17He shall also offer the ram as a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord, together with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest shall also offer its grain offering and its drink offering. 1812The Nazirite shall then shave his consecrated head of hair at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and take the consecrated hair of his head and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace offerings.
