61 Again the Lord spoke to Moses , saying , 2 "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When a man or woman makes a special vow , the vow of a Nazirite , to dedicate himself to the Lord , 3 he shall abstain from wine and strong drink ; he shall drink no vinegar , whether made from wine or strong drink , nor shall he drink any grape juice nor eat fresh or dried grapes . 4 'All the days of his separation he shall not eat anything e that is produced by the grape vine , from the seeds even to the skin . 5 'All the days of his vow of separation no razor shall pass over his head . He shall be holy until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the Lord ; he shall let the locks of hair on his head grow long . 6 ' All the days of his separation to the Lord he shall not go near to a dead person . 7 'He shall not make himself unclean for his father or for his mother , for his brother or for his sister , when they die , because his separation to God is on his head . 8 'All the days of his separation he is holy to the Lord . 9 'But if a man dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles his dedicated head of hair, then he shall shave his head on the day when he becomes clean ; he shall shave it on the seventh day . 10 'Then on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest , to the doorway of the tent of meeting . 11 'The priest shall offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering , and make atonement for him concerning e his sin because of the dead person . And that same day he shall consecrate his head , 12 and shall dedicate to the Lord his days as a Nazirite , and shall bring a male lamb a year old for a guilt offering ; but the former days will be void because his separation was defiled . 13 'Now this is the law of the Nazirite when the days of his separation are fulfilled , he shall bring the offering to the doorway of the tent of meeting . 14 'He shall present his offering to the Lord : one male lamb a year old without defect for a burnt offering and one ewe-lamb a year old without defect for a sin offering and one ram without defect for a peace offering , 15 and a basket of unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil and unleavened wafers spread with oil , along with their grain offering and their drink offering . 16 'Then the priest shall present them before the Lord and shall offer his sin offering and his burnt offering . 17 'He shall also offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord , together with the basket of unleavened cakes ; the priest shall likewise offer its grain offering and its drink offering . 18 ' The Nazirite shall then shave his dedicated head of hair at the doorway of the tent of meeting , and take the dedicated hair of his head and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace offerings . 19 ' The priest shall take the ram's shoulder when it has been boiled , and one unleavened cake out of the basket and one unleavened wafer , and shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his dedicated hair. 20 'Then the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord . It is holy for the priest , together with the breast offered by waving and the thigh offered by lifting up; and afterward the Nazirite may drink wine .' 21 "This is the law of the Nazirite who vows his offering to the Lord according to his separation , in addition e to what else he can afford e ; according to his vow which he takes , so he shall do according to the law of his separation ."
22 Then the Lord spoke to Moses , saying , 23 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons , saying , 'Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel . You shall say to them: 24 The Lord bless you, and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; 26 The Lord lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace .' 27 "So they shall invoke My name on the sons of Israel , and I then will bless them."
