1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2
Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate
themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to dedicate
themselves unto the LORD,
3
they shall separate
themselves from wine and strong drink and shall drink no vinegar of wine or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall they drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes or dried.
4
All the days of their Nazariteship they shall eat nothing that is made of the wine vine, from the kernels even to the husk.
5
All the days of the vow of their Nazariteship no razor shall come upon their head, until the days are fulfilled of their separation unto the LORD; they shall be holy
and shall let the locks of the hair of their head grow.
6
All the days that they separate
themselves unto the LORD they shall come in unto no dead body.
7
They shall not make themselves unclean for their father or for their mother, for their brother or for their sister, when they die because the consecration of their God
is upon their head.
8
All the days of their Nazariteship they
are holy unto the LORD.
9
And if anyone dies very suddenly beside them, and they have defiled the head of their Nazariteship, then they shall shave their head in the day of their cleansing; on the seventh day shall they shave it.
10
And on the eighth day they shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony,
11
and the priest shall offer the one as the sin and the other as a burnt offering and reconcile the one that sinned upon the dead and shall sanctify their head that same day.
