Numbers 6:8

8 All their days as nazirites they are holy to the Lord.

Numbers 6:8 In-Context

6 All the days that they separate themselves to the Lord they shall not go near a corpse.
7 Even if their father or mother, brother or sister, should die, they may not defile themselves; because their consecration to God is upon the head.
8 All their days as nazirites they are holy to the Lord.
9 If someone dies very suddenly nearby, defiling the consecrated head, then they shall shave the head on the day of their cleansing; on the seventh day they shall shave it.
10 On the eighth day they shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the tent of meeting,
