1 A gain the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 “ Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When a man or woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to dedicate himself to the Lord,

`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When a man or woman doeth singularly, by vowing a vow of a Nazarite, to be separate to Jehovah;

3 h e shall abstain from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar, whether made from wine or strong drink, nor shall he drink any grape juice nor eat fresh or dried grapes.

from wine and strong drink he doth keep separate; vinegar of wine, and vinegar of strong drink he doth not drink, and any juice of grapes he doth not drink, and grapes moist or dry he doth not eat;

4 A ll the days of his separation he shall not eat anything that is produced by the grape vine, from the seeds even to the skin.

all days of his separation, of anything which is made of the wine-vine, from kernels even unto husk, he doth not eat.

5 ‘ All the days of his vow of separation no razor shall pass over his head. He shall be holy until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the Lord; he shall let the locks of hair on his head grow long.

`All days of the vow of his separation a razor doth not pass over his head; till the fulness of the days which he doth separate to Jehovah he is holy; grown up hath the upper part of the hair of his head.

6 ‘ All the days of his separation to the Lord he shall not go near to a dead person.

`All days of his keeping separate to Jehovah, near a dead person he doth not go;

7 H e shall not make himself unclean for his father or for his mother, for his brother or for his sister, when they die, because his separation to God is on his head.

for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister -- he is not unclean for them at their death, for the separation of his God on his head;

8 A ll the days of his separation he is holy to the Lord.

all days of his separation he holy to Jehovah.

9 ‘ But if a man dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles his dedicated head of hair, then he shall shave his head on the day when he becomes clean; he shall shave it on the seventh day.

`And when the dead dieth beside him in an instant, suddenly, and he hath defiled the head of his separation, then he hath shaved his head in the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he doth shave it,

10 T hen on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the doorway of the tent of meeting.

and on the eighth day he bringeth in two turtle-doves or two young pigeons unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of meeting,

11 T he priest shall offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him concerning his sin because of the dead person. And that same day he shall consecrate his head,

and the priest hath prepared one for a sin-offering, and one for a burnt-offering, and hath made atonement for him, because of that which he hath sinned by the body, and he hath hallowed his head on that day;

12 a nd shall dedicate to the Lord his days as a Nazirite, and shall bring a male lamb a year old for a guilt offering; but the former days will be void because his separation was defiled.

and he hath separated to Jehovah the days of his separation, and he hath brought in a lamb, a son of a year, for a guilt-offering, and the former days are fallen, for his separation hath been defiled.

13 ‘ Now this is the law of the Nazirite when the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall bring the offering to the doorway of the tent of meeting.

`And this the law of the Nazarite; in the day of the fulness of the days of his separation doth bring him in unto the opening of the tent of meeting,

14 H e shall present his offering to the Lord: one male lamb a year old without defect for a burnt offering and one ewe-lamb a year old without defect for a sin offering and one ram without defect for a peace offering,

and he hath brought near his offering to Jehovah, one he-lamb, a son of a year, a perfect one, for a burnt-offering, and one she-lamb, a daughter of a year, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and one ram, a perfect one, for peace-offerings,

15 a nd a basket of unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil and unleavened wafers spread with oil, along with their grain offering and their drink offering.

and a basket of unleavened things of flour, cakes mixed with oil, and thin cakes of unleavened things anointed with oil, and their present, and their libations.

16 T hen the priest shall present them before the Lord and shall offer his sin offering and his burnt offering.

`And the priest hath brought near before Jehovah, and hath made his sin-offering and his burnt-offering;

17 H e shall also offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord, together with the basket of unleavened cakes; the priest shall likewise offer its grain offering and its drink offering.

and the ram he maketh a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, besides the basket of unleavened things; and the priest hath made its present and its libation.

18 T he Nazirite shall then shave his dedicated head of hair at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and take the dedicated hair of his head and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace offerings.

`And the Nazarite hath shaved (at the opening of the tent of meeting) the head of his separation, and hath taken the hair of the head of his separation, and hath put on the fire which under the sacrifice of the peace-offerings.

19 T he priest shall take the ram’s shoulder when it has been boiled, and one unleavened cake out of the basket and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his dedicated hair.

`And the priest hath taken the boiled shoulder from the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one thin unleavened cake, and hath put on the palms of the Nazarite after his shaving his separation;

20 T hen the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord. It is holy for the priest, together with the breast offered by waving and the thigh offered by lifting up; and afterward the Nazirite may drink wine.’

and the priest hath waved them, a wave-offering before Jehovah; it holy to the priest, besides the breast of the wave-offering, and besides the leg of the heave-offering; and afterwards doth the Nazarite drink wine.

21 “ This is the law of the Nazirite who vows his offering to the Lord according to his separation, in addition to what else he can afford; according to his vow which he takes, so he shall do according to the law of his separation.” Aaron’s Benediction

`This the law of the Nazarite, who voweth his offering to Jehovah for his separation, apart from that which his hand attaineth; according to his vow which he voweth so he doth by the law of his separation.'

22 T hen the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

23 “ Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel. You shall say to them:

`Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, saying, Thus ye do bless the sons of Israel, saying to them,

24 T he Lord bless you, and keep you;

`Jehovah bless thee and keep thee;

25 T he Lord make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you;

`Jehovah cause His face to shine upon thee, and favour thee;

26 T he Lord lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.’

`Jehovah lift up His countenance upon thee, and appoint for thee -- peace.

27 S o they shall invoke My name on the sons of Israel, and I then will bless them.”

`And they have put My name upon the sons of Israel, and I -- I do bless them.'
