Num 6:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 6:2 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When a man or
woman does separate, by making a vow of a Nazirite, to be separate to יהוה,
Num 6:3 he separates himself from wine and strong drink – he drinks neither
vinegar of wine nor vinegar of strong drink, neither does he drink any grape
juice, nor eat grapes or raisins.
Num 6:4 ‘All the days of his separation he does not eat whatever is made of
the grapevine, from seed to skin.
Num 6:5 ‘All the days of the vow of his separation a razor does not come
upon his head. Until the days are completed for which he does separate
himself to יהוה, he is set-apart. He shall let the locks of the hair of his head
grow long.
Num 6:6 ‘All the days of his separation to יהוה he does not go near a dead
body.
Num 6:7 ‘He does not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother,
for his brother or his sister, when they die, because his separation to Elohim
is on his head.
Num 6:8 ‘All the days of his separation he is set-apart to יהוה.
Num 6:9 ‘And when anyone dies beside him in an instant, suddenly, and he
has defiled the head of his separation, then he shall shave his head on the day
of his cleansing – on the seventh day he shaves it.
Num 6:10 ‘And on the eighth day he brings two turtledoves or two young
pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting,
Num 6:11 and the priest shall prepare one as a sin offering and the other as a
burnt offering, and shall make atonement for him, because he sinned by
reason of the dead body. And he shall set apart his head on that day,
Num 6:12 and shall separate to יהוה the days of his separation, and shall
bring a male lamb a year old, as a guilt offering. But the former days are not
counted, because his separation was defiled.
Num 6:13 ‘And this is the Torah of the Nazirite: When the days of his
separation are completed, he is brought to the door of the Tent of Meeting,
Num 6:14 and he shall bring his offering to יהוה : one male lamb a year old,
a perfect one, as a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old, a perfect one,
as a sin offering, and one ram, a perfect one, as a peace offering,
Num 6:15 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with
oil, and unleavened thin cakes anointed with oil, and their grain offering with
their drink offerings.
Num 6:16 ‘And the priest shall bring them before יהוה and prepare his sin
offering and his burnt offering.
Num 6:17 ‘And he shall prepare the ram as a peace offering to יהוה, together
with the basket of unleavened bread. And the priest shall prepare its grain
offering and its drink offering.
Num 6:18 ‘And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the
door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair from the head of his
separation and shall put it on the fire which is under the slaughtering of the
peace offering.
Num 6:19 ‘And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one
unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened thin cake, and put them
upon the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his hair of separation.
Num 6:20 ‘Then the priest shall wave them, a wave offering before יהוה. It is
set-apart for the priest, besides the breast of the wave offering and besides
the thigh of the contribution. And afterwards the Nazirite shall drink wine.’
Num 6:21 “This is the Torah of the Nazirite who vows to יהוה the offering
for his separation, and besides that, whatever else his hand is able to
provide. According to the vow which he takes, so he shall do according to
the Torah of his separation.”
Num 6:22 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 6:23 “Speak to Aharon and his sons, saying, ‘This is how you bless the
children of Yisra’ĕl. Say to them:
Num 6:24 “ יהוה bless you and guard you;
Num 6:25 יהוה make His face shine upon you, and show favour to you;
Num 6:26 יהוה lift up His face upon you, and give you peace.” ’
Num 6:27 “Thus they shall put My Name on the children of Yisra’ĕl, and I
Myself shall bless them.”
