Numbers 6:3

The Law of the Nazirite

1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When either a man or woman¹ consecrates an offering to take the vow of a Nazirite, ^ato separate himself to the Lord,

3 ^ahe shall separate himself from wine and similar drink; he shall drink neither vinegar made from wine nor vinegar made from similar drink; neither shall he drink any grape juice, nor eat fresh grapes or raisins.

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

5 ‘All the days of the vow of his separation no ^arazor 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.

6 All the days that he separates himself to the Lord ^ahe shall not go near a dead body.

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

8 ^aAll the days of his separation he shall be holy to the Lord.

9 ‘And if anyone dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles his consecrated head, then he shall ^ashave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it.

10 Then ^aon the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting;
