As long as he remains a nazir he is to eat nothing derived from the grapevine, not even the grape-skins or the seeds.

"'Throughout the period of his vow as a nazir, he is not to shave his head. Until the end of the time for which he has consecrated himself to ADONAI he is to be holy: he is to let the hair on his head grow long.
6
"'Throughout the period for which he has consecrated himself to ADONAI, he is not to approach a corpse.
7
He is not to make himself unclean for his father, mother, brother or sister when they die, since his consecration to God is on his head.
8
Throughout the time of his being a nazir he is holy for ADONAI.

"'If someone next to him dies very suddenly, so that he defiles his consecrated head, then he is to shave his head on the day of his purification; he is to shave it on the seventh day.
10
On the eighth day he is to bring two doves or two young pigeons to the cohen at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
11
The cohen is to prepare one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering and thus make atonement for him, inasmuch as he sinned because of the dead person. That same day he is to re-consecrate his head;

he is to consecrate to ADONAI the full period of his being a nazir by bringing a male lamb in its first year as a guilt offering. The previous days will not be counted, because his consecration became defiled.
13
"'This is the law for the nazir when his period of consecration is over: he is to be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting,
14
where he will present his offering to ADONAI - one male lamb in its first year without defect as a burnt offering, one female lamb in its first year without defect as a sin offering, one ram without defect as peace offerings,
