Numbers 6:18-27 ▼

18 “The Nazirite is to shave his consecrated head at the entrance to the tent of meeting, take the hair from his head, and put it on the fire under the fellowship sacrifice.

19 The priest is to take the boiled shoulder from the ram, one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and put them into the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his consecrated head.

20 The priest is to present them as a presentation offering before the LORD. It is a holy portion for the priest, in addition to the breast of the presentation offering and the thigh of the contribution. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.

21 “These are the instructions about the Nazirite who vows his offering to the LORD for his consecration, in addition to whatever else he can afford; he must fulfill whatever vow he makes in keeping with the instructions for his consecration.”

22 The LORD spoke to Moses:

23 “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. You should say to them,

24 “May the LORD bless you and protect you;

25 may the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;

26 may the LORD look with favor on you and give you peace.” ’

27 In this way they will pronounce my name over the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
