And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak to the Israelites and say to them: If a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate themselves for the LORD,

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:

they must abstain from wine and any strong drink. They must not drink vinegar made from wine or vinegar made from strong drink. They must not drink any liquid made from grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or raisins.

He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.

For the entire duration of their vow of separation, they must not eat anything from the grapevine—not even the seeds or the skins.

All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.

Throughout the length of their vow, no razor may touch their head. Until the time of their dedication to the LORD is complete, they are to be holy and allow the hair of their head to grow long.

All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.

During the entire time of their vow to the LORD, they must not go near a dead body.

All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.

Even if their father, mother, brother, or sister dies, they must not make themselves ceremonially unclean for them, because the consecration to God is upon their head.

He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head.

For the entire period of their separation, they are holy to the LORD.

All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.

If someone dies suddenly beside them, making their head of dedication unclean, they must shave their head on the day of their purification—the seventh day.

And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.

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.

And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

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.

And the priest shall offer the 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, and shall hallow his head that same day.

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.

And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.

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.

And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

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.

And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,

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.

And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.

The priest is to present all of these before the LORD and offer the sin offering and the burnt offering.

And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:

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.

And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering.

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.

And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.

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.

And the priest shall take the sodden 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 the hair of his separation is shaven:

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.

And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.

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.

This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.

The LORD said to Moses:

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak to Aaron and his sons and tell them: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:

Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

"The LORD bless you and keep you;

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;

The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."

The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

So they shall put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
