Numbers 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 6:8

All the days of his separation he [is] holy unto the Lord.
] Set apart for his service, separate from all others, especially the dead, and under obligation to abstain from the above things; from drinking wine, from shaving his hair, and from defiling himself for the dead, and to be employed in holy and religious exercises during the time his vow is upon him.

Numbers 6:8 In-Context

6 Your hair is the sign of your dedication to God, and so you must not defile yourself by going near a corpse, not even that of your father, mother, brother, or sister.

8 As long as you are a nazirite, you are consecrated to the Lord.

9 If your consecrated hair is defiled because you are right beside someone who suddenly dies, you must wait seven days and then shave your head; and so you become ritually clean.

10 On the eighth day you shall bring two doves or two pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence.
