| Chapter
6 |
| 1 | And the
LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 2
| Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man
or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate
themselves unto the LORD: |
| 3 |
He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no
vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor
of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried. |
| 4 | All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that
is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk. |
| 5 | All the days of the vow of his
separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be
fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy,
and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. |
| 6 | All the days that he separateth himself
unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body. |
| 7 | He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for
his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the
consecration of his God is upon his head. |
| 8 | All the days of his separation he is holy unto the
LORD. |
| 9 | And if any man
die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration;
then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day
shall he shave it. |
| 10 |
And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the
priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: |
| 11 | And the priest shall offer the one for
a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for
him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same
day. |
| 12 | And he shall
consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of
the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be
lost, because his separation was defiled. |
| 13 | And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of
his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation: |
|
14 | And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of
the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the
first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for
peace offerings, |
| 15 | And
a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers
of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink
offerings. |
| 16 | And the
priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and
his burnt offering: |
| 17 |
And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD,
with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat
offering, and his drink offering. |
|
18 | And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head
of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the
peace offerings. |
| 19 | And
the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake
out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands
of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven: |
| 20 | And the priest shall wave them for a
wave offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave
breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine. |
| 21 | This is the law of the
Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering unto the LORD for his separation,
beside that that 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 spake unto Moses, saying, |
| 23 | Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons,
saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto
them, |
| 24 | The LORD bless
thee, and keep thee: |
| 25 |
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto 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. |
