Numbers 6
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say
to them: When a man, or woman, shall make a vow to be
sanctified, and will consecrate themselves to the Lord:
They shall abstain from wine, and from every thing that
may make a man drunk. They shall not drink vinegar of
wine, or of any other drink, nor any thing that is pressed
out of the grape: nor shall they eat grapes either fresh
or dried.
All the days that they are consecrated to the Lord by
vow: they shall eat nothing that cometh of the vineyard,
from the raisin even to the kernel.
All the time of his separation no razor shall pass over
his head, until the day be fulfilled of his consecration
to the Lord. He shall be holy, and shall let the hair
of his head grow.
All the time of his consecration he shall not go in
to any dead,
Neither shall he make himself unclean, even for his
father, or for his mother, or for his brother, or for
his sister, when they die, because the consecration
of his God is upon his head.
All the days of his separation he shall be holy to the
Lord.
But if any man die suddenly before him: the head of
his consecration shall be defiled: and he shall shave
it forthwith on the same day of his purification, and
again on the seventh day.
And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or
two young pigeons to the priest in the entry of the
covenant of the testimony.
And the priest shall offer one for sin, and the other
for a holocaust, and shall pray for him, for that he
hath sinned by the dead: and he shall sanctify his head
that day :
And shall consecrate to the Lord the days of his separation,
offering a lamb of one year for sin: yet so that the
former days be made void, because his sanctification
was profaned.
This is the law of consecration. When the days which
he had determined by vow shall be expired, he shall
bring him to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant,
And shall offer his oblation to the Lord: one he lamb
of a year old without blemish for a holocaust, and one
awe lamb of a year old without blemish for a sin offering,
and one ram without blemish for a victim of peace offering,
A basket also of unleavened bread, tempered with oil,
and wafers without leaven anointed with oil, and the
libations of each:
And the priest shall present them before the Lord, and
shall offer both the sin offering and the holocaust.
But the ram he shall immolate for a sacrifice of peace
offering to the Lord, offering at the same time the
basket of unleavened bread, and the libations that are
due by custom.
Then shall the hair of the consecration of the Nazarite,
be shaved off before the door of the tabernacle of the
covenant: and he shall take his hair, and lay it upon
the fire, which is under the sacrifice of the peace
offerings.
And shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one
unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened
wafer, and he shall deliver them into the hands of the
Nazarite, after his head is shaven.
And receiving them again from him, he shall elevate
them in the sight of the Lord: and they being sanctified
shall belong to the priest, as the breast, which was
commanded to be separated, and the shoulder. After this
the Nazarite may drink wine.
This is the law of the Nazarite, when he hath vowed
his oblation to the Lord in the time of his consecration,
besides those things which his hand shall find, according
to that which he had vowed in his mind, so shall he
do for the fulfilling of his sanctification.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Say to Aaron and his sons: Thus shall you bless the
children of Israel, and you shall say to them:
The Lord bless thee, and keep thee.
The Lord shew his face to thee, and have mercy on thee.
The Lord turn his countenance to thee, and give thee
peace.
And they shall invoke my name upon the children of Israel,
and I will bless them.
