1And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazirite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:
3He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist, or dried grapes.
4All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made of the vine, from the kernels even to the husk.
5All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
6All the days that he separates himself unto the LORD he shall touch no dead body.
7He shall not make himself unclean for his father, his mother, his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head.
8All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.
9And if any man dies very suddenly by him, and he has defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day he shall shave it.
10And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
11And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, because he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.
12And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
13And this is the law of the Nazirite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
14And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he-lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,
15And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings.
16And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
17And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meal offering, and his drink offering.
18And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
19And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after the hair of his separation is shaven.
20And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazirite may drink wine.
21This is the law of the Nazirite who has vowed, and of his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.”
22And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
23“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘In this way you shall bless the children of Israel, saying to them,
24“The LORD bless you, and keep you:
25The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you;
26The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.”
27And they shall put My name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.’” Easy Reader Bible: Purple Letter Edition © 2023 by Jim Musser. Used by Permission. All rights Reserved. Bible Hub |
