Bemiḏbar (Numbers) 6

6
1And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
2“Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When a man or woman does separate, by making a vow of a Nazirite, to be separate to יהוה,
3“he separates himself from wine and strong drink – he drinks neither vinegar of wine nor vinegar of strong drink, neither does he drink any grape juice, nor eat grapes or raisins.
4All the days of his separation he does not eat whatever is made of the grapevine, from seed to skin.
5All the days of the vow of his separation a razor does not come upon his head. Until the days are completed for which he does separate himself to יהוה, he is set-apart. He shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.
6All the days of his separation to יהוה he does not go near a dead body.
7He does not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother or his sister, when they die, because his separation to Elohim is on his head.
8All the days of his separation he is set-apart to יהוה.
9And when anyone dies beside him in an instant, suddenly, and he has defiled the head of his separation, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing – on the seventh day he shaves it.
10And on the eighth day he brings two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Appointment,
11and the priest shall prepare one as a sin offering and the other as an ascending offering, and shall make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead body. And he shall set apart his head on that day,
12and shall separate to יהוה the days of his separation, and shall bring a male lamb a year old, as a guilt offering. But the former days are not counted, because his separation was defiled.
13And this is the Torah of the Nazirite: When the days of his separation are completed, he is brought to the door of the Tent of Appointment,
14and he shall bring his offering to יהוה: one male lamb a year old, a perfect one, as an ascending offering, and one ewe lamb a year old, a perfect one, as a sin offering, and one ram, a perfect one, as a peace offering,
15and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened thin cakes anointed with oil, and their grain offering with their drink offerings.
16And the priest shall bring them before יהוה and prepare his sin offering and his ascending offering.
17And he shall prepare the ram as a slaughtering of peace offerings to יהוה, together with the basket of unleavened bread. And the priest shall prepare its grain offering and its drink offering.
18And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the Tent of Appointment, and shall take the hair from the head of his separation and shall put it on the fire which is under the slaughtering of the peace offerings.
19And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened thin cake, and put them upon the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his hair of separation.
20Then the priest shall wave them, a wave offering before יהוה. It is set-apart for the priest, besides the breast of the wave offering and besides the thigh of the contribution. And afterwards the Nazirite shall drink wine.’
21This is the Torah of the Nazirite who vows to יהוה the offering for his separation, and besides that, whatever else his hand is able to provide. According to the vow which he takes, so he shall do according to the Torah of his separation.
22And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
23“Speak to Aharon and his sons, saying, ‘This is how you bless the children of Yisra’ĕl. Say to them:
24יהוה bless you and guard you; ”
25יהוה make His face shine upon you, and show favour to you;
26יהוה lift up His face upon you, and give you peace.” ’
27Thus they shall put My Name on the children of Yisra’ĕl, and I Myself shall bless them.
