The LORD said to Moses

Speak to the Israelites and say to them: If a man or woman wants to make a special vow, a vow of dedication to the LORD as a Nazirite

they must abstain from wine and other fermented drink and must not drink vinegar made from wine or other fermented drink. They must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins

As long as they remain under their Nazirite vow, they must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins

During the entire period of their Nazirite vow, no razor may be used on their head. They must be holy until the period of their dedication to the LORD is over; they must let their hair grow long

Throughout the period of their dedication to the LORD, the Nazirite must not go near a dead body

Even if their own father or mother or brother or sister dies, they must not make themselves ceremonially unclean on account of them, because the symbol of their dedication to God is on their head

Throughout the period of their dedication, they are consecrated to the LORD

If someone dies suddenly in the Nazirite's presence, thus defiling the hair that symbolizes their dedication, they must shave their head on the seventh day—the day of their cleansing

Then on the eighth day they must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting

The priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for the Nazirite because they sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. That same day they are to consecrate their head again

They must rededicate themselves to the LORD for the same period of dedication and must bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days do not count, because they became defiled during their dedication

Now this is the law for the Nazirite when the period of their dedication is over. They are to be brought to the entrance to the tent of meeting

There they are to present their offering to the LORD: a year-old male lamb without defect for a burnt offering, a year-old ewe lamb without defect for a sin offering, a ram without defect for a fellowship offering

together with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and a basket of bread made with the finest flour and without yeast—thick loaves with olive oil mixed in, and thin loaves brushed with olive oil

The priest is to present all these before the LORD and make the sin offering and the burnt offering

He is to present the ram as a fellowship offering to the LORD, together with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest is to make the grain offering and the drink offering

Then at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the Nazirite must shave off the hair that symbolizes their dedication. They are to take the hair and put it in the fire that is under the sacrifice of the fellowship offering

After the Nazirite has shaved off the hair of their dedication, the priest is to place in their hands a boiled shoulder of the ram, and one thick loaf and one thin loaf from the basket, both made without yeast

The priest is to wave these before the LORD as a wave offering; they are holy and belong to the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine

This is the law of the Nazirite who vows offerings to the LORD in accordance with their dedication, in addition to whatever else they can afford. They must fulfill the vow they have made, according to the law of the Nazirite

The LORD said to Moses

Tell Aaron and his sons, This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them

The LORD bless you and keep you

the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you

the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace

So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them
