  • Num 6:1-9 : 1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves to the LORD: 3 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 grape juice, nor eat fresh grapes or dried. 4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing made from the vine tree, from the seeds even to the skin. 5 All the days of the vow of his separation no razor shall come upon his head: until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates himself to the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. 6 All the days that he separates himself to the LORD he shall not go near a dead body. 7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or his mother, for his brother, or his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head. 8 All the days of his separation he is holy to the LORD. 9 And if anyone dies very suddenly near him, and he defiles 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. 10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting: 11 And the priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall sanctify his head the same day. 12 And he shall consecrate to the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the previous days shall be lost, because his separation was defiled. 13 And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of meeting: 14 And he shall offer his offering to the LORD, one male 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, 15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their grain offering, and their drink offerings. 16 And the priest shall bring them before the LORD and shall offer his sin offering and his burnt offering: 17 And he shall offer the ram for a peace offering sacrifice to the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his grain offering and his drink offering. 18 And the Nazarite shall shave his consecrated head at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and shall take the hair of his consecrated head, and put it in the fire under the sacrifice of the peace offerings. 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 the hair of his consecration is shaved: 20 And the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the waved breast and the heaved shoulder: and afterward the Nazarite may drink wine.

  • Neh 9:1-9 : 1 On the twenty-fourth day of this month, the children of Israel gathered with fasting and wearing sackcloth, and with earth upon them. 2 The descendants of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners and stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their ancestors. 3 They stood in their place and read from the book of the law of the LORD their God for a fourth of the day; and for another fourth they confessed and worshiped the LORD their God. 4 Then Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani stood on the platform of the Levites and cried out with a loud voice to the LORD their God. 5 The Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said, 'Stand up and bless the LORD your God forever and ever; and blessed be Your glorious name, exalted above all blessing and praise.' 6 You alone are the LORD; You have made the heavens, the heaven of heavens, with all their hosts, the earth and everything on it, the seas and all that is in them, and You preserve them all; the host of heaven worships You. 7 You are the LORD God, who chose Abram and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans, and gave him the name Abraham; 8 You found his heart faithful before You, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it to his descendants. And You have fulfilled Your words, for You are righteous; 9 And You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the Red Sea; 10 You showed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, against all his servants, and against all the people of his land. For You knew they acted proudly against them. So You made a name for Yourself, as it is this day.
