6:5 “‘All the days of the vow ¹³  of his separation no razor may be used on his head ¹⁴  until the time ¹⁵  is fulfilled for which he separated himself to the Lord. He will be holy, ¹⁶  and he must let ¹⁷  the locks of hair on his head grow long.

6:6 “‘All the days that he separates himself to the Lord he must not contact ¹⁸  a dead body. ¹⁹  6:7 He must not defile himself even ²⁰  for his father or his mother or his brother or his sister if they die, ²¹  because the separation ²²  for ²³  his God is on his head. 6:8 All the days of his separation he must be holy to the Lord.

6:9 “‘If anyone dies very suddenly ²⁴  beside him and he defiles ²⁵  his consecrated head, ²⁶  then he must shave his head on the day of his purification – on the seventh day he must shave it. 6:10 On the eighth day he is to bring ²⁷  two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the entrance to the tent of meeting. 6:11 Then the priest will offer one for a purification offering ²⁸  and the other ²⁹  as a burnt offering, ³⁰  and make atonement ³¹  for him, because of his transgression ³²  in regard to the corpse. So he must reconsecrate ³³  his head on that day. 6:12 He must rededicate ³⁴  to the Lord the days of his separation and bring a male lamb in its first year as a reparation offering, ³⁵  but the former days will not be counted ³⁶  because his separation ³⁷  was defiled.

6:13 “‘Now this is the law of the Nazirite: When the days of his separation are fulfilled, he must be brought ³⁸  to the entrance of the tent of meeting, 6:14 and he must present his offering ³⁹  to the Lord: one male lamb in its first year without blemish for a burnt offering, one ewe lamb in its first year without blemish for a purification offering, one ram without blemish for a peace offering, ⁴⁰  6:15 and a basket of bread made without yeast, cakes of fine flour mixed with olive oil, wafers made without yeast and smeared with olive oil, and their ⁴¹  grain offering and their drink offerings. ⁴² 

6:16 “‘Then the priest must present all these ⁴³  before the Lord and offer ⁴⁴  his purification offering and his burnt offering. 6:17 Then he must offer the ram as a peace offering ⁴⁵  to the Lord, with the basket of bread made without yeast; the priest must also offer his grain offering and his drink offering.

6:18 “‘Then the Nazirite must shave his consecrated head ⁴⁶  at the entrance to the tent of meeting and must take the hair from his consecrated head and put it on the fire ⁴⁷  where the peace offering is burning. ⁴⁸  6:19 And the priest must take the boiled shoulder of the ram, one cake made without yeast from the basket, and one wafer made without yeast, and put them on the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his consecrated head; ⁴⁹  6:20 then the priest must wave them as a wave offering ⁵⁰  before the Lord; it is a holy portion for the priest, together with the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the raised offering. ⁵¹  After this the Nazirite may drink ⁵²  wine.’

6:21 “This is the law ⁵³  of the Nazirite who vows to the Lord his offering according to his separation, as well as whatever else he can provide. ⁵⁴  Thus he must fulfill ⁵⁵  his vow that he makes, according to the law of his separation.”

6:24 “The Lord bless you ⁶⁰  and protect ⁶¹  you;

6:25 The Lord make his face to shine upon you,

and be gracious to you; ⁶² 

6:26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon you ⁶³ 

and give you peace.”’

6:27 So they will put my name ⁶⁴  on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
