Nombres 6:1 In-Context

1 L'Éternel parla encore à Moïse, en disant:
2 Parle aux enfants d'Israël, et dis-leur: Lorsqu'un homme ou une femme se sera mis à part en faisant vœu de Nazaréat (séparation) pour se consacrer à l'Éternel,
3 Il s'abstiendra de vin et de boisson enivrante; il ne boira point de vinaigre de vin, ni de vinaigre de boisson enivrante; il ne boira aucune liqueur de raisins, et ne mangera point de raisins frais ni secs.
4 Pendant tout le temps de son Nazaréat, il ne mangera rien de tout ce que la vigne produit, depuis les pépins jusqu'à la peau.
5 Pendant tout le temps de son vœu de Nazaréat, le rasoir ne passera point sur sa tête; jusqu'à ce que les jours, pour lesquels il s'est voué à l'Éternel, soient accomplis, il sera consacré, il laissera croître les cheveux de sa tête.
