2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: A man or a woman, when they have made a vow so that they may be sanctified, and when they are willing to consecrate themselves to the Lord, “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When either a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man or woman wants to make a special vow, a vow of dedication to the LORD as a Nazirite,

7 nor shall he contaminate himself, even over the funeral of his father, or his mother, or his brother, or his sister. For the consecration of his God is upon his head. Not even for his father or for his mother, for brother or sister, if they die, shall he make himself unclean, because his separation to God is on his head.

But if he vows an offering to the LORD above his Nazirite vow, as he can afford, in exact accordance with the vow that he takes, then he shall do in addition to the law of the Nazirite.” “’This is the law of the Nazirite who vows offerings to the LORD in accordance with their dedication, in addition to whatever else they can afford. They must fulfill the vows they have made, according to the law of the Nazirite.’”

24 ‘May the Lord bless you and keep you. The LORD bless you and keep you; “’|The LORD bless you and keep you;
25 May the Lord reveal his face to you and take pity on you. the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;
26 May the Lord turn his countenance toward you and grant peace to you.’ the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.|’
