Numbers 6:21-27

21 This [is] the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, [and of] his offering to the LORD for his separation, besides [that] which his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.

22 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

23 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying to them,

24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

25 The LORD make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious to thee:

26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.
