Numbers 6:8

All the days of his separation he [is] holy unto the Lord.

Numbers 6:8 In-Context

6 The period of dedication to the LORD also requires that the person not go near a corpse,

7 whether father, mother, brother, or sister. Nazirites should not defile themselves because of the death of these people, because they bear the sign of their dedication to God on their heads.

8 While a nazirite, the person is holy to the LORD.

9 If someone suddenly dies nearby, defiling the head of the nazirite, he or she will shave the head on the day of cleansing; they will shave it on the seventh day.

10 On the eighth day the person will bring two turtledoves or two young doves to the priest at the entrance of the meeting tent.
