| 1 | And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, | And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, | The LORD said to Moses, | |
| 2 | Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If a man or a woman have vowed the special vow of a Nazarite, to consecrate themselves to Jehovah; | “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, | |
| 3 | he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink: he shall drink no vinegar of wine, nor vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat grapes, fresh or dried. | he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar made from wine or strong drink and shall not drink any juice of grapes or eat grapes, fresh or dried. | they must abstain from wine and other fermented drink and must not drink vinegar made from wine or other fermented drink. They must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins. | |
| 4 | All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine, from the seed-stones, even to the skin. | All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, not even the seeds or the skins. | As long as they remain under their Nazirite vow, they must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins. | |
| 5 | All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head; until the days be fulfilled, that he hath consecrated himself to Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. | “All the days of his vow of separation, no razor shall touch his head. Until the time is completed for which he separates himself to the LORD, he shall be holy. He shall let the locks of hair of his head grow long. | “’During the entire period of their Nazirite vow, no razor may be used on their head. They must be holy until the period of their dedication to the LORD is over; they must let their hair grow long. | |
| 6 | All the days that he hath consecrated himself to Jehovah, he shall come near no dead body. | “All the days that he separates himself to the LORD he shall not go near a dead body. | “’Throughout the period of their dedication to the LORD, the Nazirite must not go near a dead body. | |
| 7 | He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister when they die; 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. | Even if their own father or mother or brother or sister dies, they must not make themselves ceremonially unclean on account of them, because the symbol of their dedication to God is on their head. | |
| 8 | All the days of his separation he is holy to Jehovah. | All the days of his separation he is holy to the LORD. | Throughout the period of their dedication, they are consecrated to the LORD. | |
| 9 | And if any one die unexpectedly by him suddenly, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day shall he shave it. | “And if any man dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it. | “’If someone dies suddenly in the Nazirite’s presence, thus defiling the hair that symbolizes their dedication, they must shave their head on the seventh day—the day of their cleansing. | |
| 10 | And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, at the entrance of the tent of meeting. | On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two pigeons to the priest to the entrance of the tent of meeting, | Then on the eighth day they must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting. | |
| 11 | And the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead person; and he shall hallow his head that same day. | and the priest shall offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead body. And he shall consecrate his head that same day | The priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for the Nazirite because they sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. That same day they are to consecrate their head again. | |
| 12 | And he shall [again] consecrate to Jehovah the days of his separation, and shall bring a yearling lamb for a trespass-offering. But the first days are forfeited, for his consecration hath been defiled. | and separate himself to the LORD for the days of his separation and bring a male lamb a year old for a guilt offering. But the previous period shall be void, because his separation was defiled. | They must rededicate themselves to the LORD for the same period of dedication and must bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days do not count, because they became defiled during their period of dedication. | |
| 13 | And this is the law of the Nazarite on the day when the days of his consecration are fulfilled: he shall be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting. | “And this is the law for the Nazirite, when the time of his separation has been completed: he shall be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting, | “’Now this is the law of the Nazirite when the period of their dedication is over. They are to be brought to the entrance to the tent of meeting. | |
| 14 | And he shall present his offering to Jehovah, one yearling he-lamb without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one yearling ewe-lamb without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for a peace-offering; | and he shall bring his gift to the LORD, one male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish as a sin offering, and one ram without blemish as a peace offering, | There they are to present their offerings to the LORD: a year-old male lamb without defect for a burnt offering, a year-old ewe lamb without defect for a sin offering, a ram without defect for a fellowship offering, | |
| 15 | and a basket with unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their oblation, and their drink-offerings. | and a basket of unleavened bread, loaves of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers smeared with oil, and their grain offering and their drink offerings. | together with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and a basket of bread made with the finest flour and without yeast—thick loaves with olive oil mixed in, and thin loaves brushed with olive oil. | |
| 16 | And the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and shall offer his sin-offering and his burnt-offering: | And the priest shall bring them before the LORD and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering, | “’The priest is to present all these before the LORD and make the sin offering and the burnt offering. | |
| 17 | and he shall offer the ram, a sacrifice of peace-offering to Jehovah, with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest shall offer also his oblation and his drink-offering. | and he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer also its grain offering and its drink offering. | He is to present the basket of unleavened bread and is to sacrifice the ram as a fellowship offering to the LORD, together with its grain offering and drink offering. | |
| 18 | And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his consecration at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his consecration, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace-offering. | And the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head at the entrance of the tent of meeting and shall take the hair from his consecrated head and put it on the fire that is under the sacrifice of the peace offering. | “’Then at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the Nazirite must shave off the hair that symbolizes their dedication. They are to take the hair and put it in the fire that is under the sacrifice of the fellowship offering. | |
| 19 | And 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 Nazarite, after he hath shaven [the hair of] his consecration. | And the priest shall take the shoulder of the ram, when it is boiled, and one unleavened loaf out of the basket and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the hair of his consecration, | “’After the Nazirite has shaved off the hair that symbolizes their dedication, the priest is to place in their hands a boiled shoulder of the ram, and one thick loaf and one thin loaf from the basket, both made without yeast. | |
| 20 | And the priest shall wave them as wave-offering before Jehovah; it is holy for the priest, with the breast of the wave-offering and with the shoulder of the heave-offering; and afterwards the Nazarite may drink wine. | and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD. They are a holy portion for the priest, together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is contributed. And after that the Nazirite may drink wine. | The priest shall then wave these before the LORD as a wave offering; they are holy and belong to the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine. | |
| 21 | This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed: his offering to Jehovah for his consecration, beside what his hand is able to get; according to the vow which he vowed, so shall he do, according to the law of his consecration. | “This is the law of the Nazirite. 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.’” | |
| 22 | And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, | The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, | The LORD said to Moses, | |
| 23 | Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: saying unto them, | “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them, | “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them: | |
| 24 | Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee; | The LORD bless you and keep you; | “’|The LORD bless you and keep you; | |
| 25 | Jehovah make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee; | 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 | Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. | the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. | the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.|’ | |
| 27 | And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. | “So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.” | “So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.” | |
