Only after this may the nazirite drink wine.Ģ1This, then, is the law for the nazirites, that is, what they vow as their offering to the L ORD in accord with their dedication, apart from anything else which their means may allow. They are an offering belonging to the priest, along with the brisket of the elevated offering and the leg of the contribution. The previous period is not valid, because they defiled their dedicated heads.ġ3This is the ritual for the nazirites: d When the period of their dedication is complete they shall go to the entrance of the tent of meeting,ġ4bringing their offerings to the L ORD, one unblemished yearling lamb for a burnt offering, one unblemished yearling ewe lamb for a purification offering, one unblemished ram as a communion offering,ġ5and a basket of unleavened cakes of bran flour mixed with oil and of unleavened wafers spread with oil, along with their grain offerings and libations.ġ6The priest shall present them before the L ORD, and shall offer up the purification offering and the burnt offering for them.ġ7He shall then offer up the ram as a communion sacrifice to the L ORD, along with the basket of unleavened cakes, and the priest will offer the grain offering and libation.ġ8Then at the entrance of the tent of meeting the nazirite shall shave his or her dedicated head, take the hair of the dedicated head, and put it in the fire under the communion sacrifice.ġ9After the nazirite has shaved off the dedicated hair, the priest shall take a boiled shoulder of the ram, as well as one unleavened cake from the basket and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them in the hands of the nazirite.Ģ0The priest shall then elevate them as an elevated offering before the L ORD. On the same day they shall reconsecrate their headsġ2and rededicate themselves to the L ORD for the period of their dedication, bringing a yearling lamb as a reparation offering. c 7Not even for their father or mother, sister or brother, should they defile themselves, when these die, since their heads bear their dedication to God.ĨAs long as they are nazirites they are holy to the L ORD.ĩIf someone dies very suddenly in their presence, defiling their dedicated heads, they shall shave their heads on the day of their purification, that is, on the seventh day.ġ0On the eighth day they shall bring two turtledoves or two pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the tent of meeting.ġ1The priest shall offer up the one as a purification offering and the other as a burnt offering, thus making atonement for them for the sin they committed with respect to the corpse. b Until the period of their dedication to the L ORD is over, they shall be holy, letting the hair of their heads grow freely.ĦAs long as they are dedicated to the L ORD, they shall not come near a dead person. 1The L ORD said to Moses:ĢSpeak to the Israelites and tell them: When men or women solemnly take the nazirite * vow to dedicate themselves to the L ORD,ģthey shall abstain from wine and strong drink a they may neither drink wine vinegar, other vinegar, or any kind of grape juice, nor eat either fresh or dried grapes.ĤAs long as they are nazirites they shall not eat anything of the produce of the grapevine not even the seeds or the skins.ĥWhile they are under the nazirite vow, no razor shall touch their hair.
