Numbers 6

6The LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H5592"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'If a man or woman wants to make a special vow, a vow of separation to the LORD as a Nazirite,H1696H1121H3478H559H376H802H6381H5087H5088H5139H5144H30683he must abstain from wine and other fermented drink and must not drink vinegar made from wine or from other fermented drink. He must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.H5144H3196H7941H8354H2558H3196H2558H7941H8354H4952H6025H398H3892H6025H30024As long as he is a Nazirite, he must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins.H3117H5145H398H6213H3196H1612H2785H20855"'During the entire period of his vow of separation no razor may be used on his head. He must be holy until the period of his separation to the LORD is over; he must let the hair of his head grow long.H3117H5088H5145H8593H5674H7218H3117H4390H5144H3068H6918H6545H8181H7218H14316Throughout the period of his separation to the LORD he must not go near a dead body.H3117H5144H3068H935H4191H53157Even if his own father or mother or brother or sister dies, he must not make himself ceremonially unclean on account of them, because the symbol of his separation to God is on his head.H2930H1H517H251H269H4194H5145H430H72188Throughout the period of his separation he is consecrated to the LORD.H3117H5145H6918H30689"'If someone dies suddenly in his presence, thus defiling the hair he has dedicated, he must shave his head on the day of his cleansing--the seventh day.H4191H4191H6621H6597H2930H7218H5145H1548H7218H3117H2893H7637H3117H154810Then on the eighth day he must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.H8066H3117H935H8147H8449H8147H1121H3123H3548H6607H168H415011The priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for him because he sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. That same day he is to consecrate his head.H3548H6213H259H2403H259H5930H3722H834H2398H5315H6942H7218H311712He must dedicate himself to the LORD for the period of his separation and must bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days do not count, because he became defiled during his separation.H5144H3068H3117H5145H935H3532H1121H8141H817H3117H7223H5307H5145H293013"'Now this is the law for the Nazirite when the period of his separation is over. He is to be brought to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.H8451H5139H3117H3117H5145H4390H935H6607H168H415014There he is to present his offerings 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,H7126H7133H3068H259H3532H1121H8141H8549H5930H259H3535H1323H8141H8549H2403H259H352H8549H800215together with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and a basket of bread made without yeast--cakes made of fine flour mixed with oil, and wafers spread with oil.H5536H4682H2471H5560H1101H8081H7550H4682H4886H8081H4503H526216"'The priest is to present them before the LORD and make the sin offering and the burnt offering.H3548H7126H6440H3068H6213H2403H593017He is to present the basket of unleavened bread and is to sacrifice the ram as a fellowship offering to the LORD, together with its grain offering and drink offering.H6213H352H2077H8002H3068H5536H4682H3548H6213H4503H526218"'Then at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the Nazirite must shave off the hair that he dedicated. He is to take the hair and put it in the fire that is under the sacrifice of the fellowship offering.H5139H1548H7218H5145H6607H168H4150H3947H8181H7218H5145H5414H784H2077H800219"'After the Nazirite has shaved off the hair of his dedication, the priest is to place in his hands a boiled shoulder of the ram, and a cake and a wafer from the basket, both made without yeast.H3548H3947H1311H2220H352H259H4682H2471H5536H259H4682H7550H5414H3709H5139H310H5145H154820The priest shall then wave them 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.H3548H5130H8573H6440H3068H6944H3548H8573H2373H8641H7785H310H5139H8354H319621"'This is the law of the Nazirite who vows his offering to the LORD in accordance with his separation, in addition to whatever else he can afford. He must fulfill the vow he has made, according to the law of the Nazirite.'"H8451H5139H5087H7133H3068H5145H3027H5381H6310H5088H5087H6213H8451H514522The LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H55923"Tell Aaron and his sons, 'This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:H1696H175H1121H559H3541H1288H1121H3478H55924"' "The LORD bless you and keep you;H3068H1288H810425the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;H3068H6440H215H260326the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace." 'H3068H5375H6440H7760H796527"So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them."H7760H8034H1121H3478H1288

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
