  • Num 6:10-21 : 10 On the eighth day, they are to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 11 The priest shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for them, because they sinned due to the dead body. On that day, they must rededicate their head. 12 They must recommit themselves to the LORD for the duration of their vow of separation and bring a one-year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous period of dedication will not count, because their separation was defiled. 13 This is the law for the Nazirite: When their period of dedication is complete, they are to be brought to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 14 They are to present their offering to the LORD: a year-old male lamb without defect for a burnt offering, a year-old female lamb without defect for a sin offering, and a ram without defect for a fellowship offering. 15 Along with a basket of unleavened bread made of fine flour—loaves mixed with oil and wafers spread with oil—together with their grain offerings and drink offerings. 16 The priest is to present all of these before the LORD and offer the sin offering and the burnt offering. 17 He shall offer the ram as a fellowship offering to the LORD, along with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest is also to present the grain offering and the drink offering. 18 The Nazirite must then shave the hair of their dedication at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, take the hair and put it in the fire that is under the sacrifice of the fellowship offering. 19 After the Nazirite has shaved their head, the priest is to take the boiled shoulder from the ram, one unleavened loaf from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and place them in the hands of the Nazirite. 20 The priest shall then wave these as a wave offering before the LORD; they are holy and belong to the priest, together with the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine. 21 This is the law of the Nazirite who takes a vow, their offering to the LORD for their separation, in addition to whatever else they can afford. They must fulfill the vow they have made, according to the law of their separation.
  • Num 19:11-14 : 11 Whoever touches the dead body of any person shall be unclean for seven days. 12 He must purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day, then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third day and the seventh day, he will not be clean. 13 Anyone who touches a dead body, the lifeless body of a person who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the LORD's tabernacle. That person must be cut off from Israel because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him. He remains unclean; his uncleanness is still upon him. 14 This is the law: When a person dies in a tent, everyone who enters the tent and everyone who is in the tent shall be unclean for seven days.
  • Heb 9:13-14 : 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so their bodies are outwardly clean, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works so that we may serve the living God?
