4 A ll the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, from seed to skin.

All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the husk.

5 ‘ All the days of the vow of his separation no razor shall come upon his head; until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the Lord, he shall be holy. Then he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.

All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in which he separateth himself unto Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.

6 A ll the days that he separates himself to the Lord he shall not go near a dead body.

10 T hen on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting;

And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting:

11 a nd the priest shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned in regard to the corpse; and he shall sanctify his head that same day.

and the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.

And he shall separate unto Jehovah the days of his separation, and shall bring a he-lamb a year old for a trespass-offering; but the former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.

13 ‘ Now this is the law of the Nazirite: When the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

And this is the law of the Nazirite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tent of meeting:

16 T hen the priest shall bring them before the Lord and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering;

And the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering:

17 a nd he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord, with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest shall also offer its grain offering and its drink offering.

and the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah; this is holy for the priest, together with the wave-breast and heave-thigh: and after that the Nazirite may drink wine.

And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

23 “ Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:

Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: ye shall say unto them,

24 “ The Lord bless you and keep you;

Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee:

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

Jehovah make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

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