Numbers 6

vayedabber Adonai el-mosheh lemor

GOD spoke to Moses, saying:

dabber el-bene yisra'el ve'amarta alehem ish o-isha ki yafli lindor neder nazir lehazzir la-Adonai

Speak to the Israelites and say to them: If any man or woman explicitly utters a nazirite’s vow, to set themselves apart for GOD,

miyyayin veshekhar yazzir khomets yayin vekhomets shekhar lo yishteh vekhol-mishrat anavim lo yishteh va'anavim lakhim viveshim lo yokhel

they shall abstain from wine and any other intoxicant; they shall not drink vinegar of wine or of any other intoxicant, neither shall they drink anything in which grapes have been steeped, nor eat grapes fresh or dried.

kol yeme nizro mikkol asher ye'aseh miggefen hayyayin mekhartsannim ve'ad-zag lo yokhel

Throughout their term as nazirite, they may not eat anything that is obtained from the grapevine, even seeds or skin.

kol-yeme neder nizro ta'ar lo-ya'avor al-rosho ad-melot hayyamim asher-yazzir la-Adonai qadosh yihyeh gaddel pera se'ar rosho

Throughout the term of their vow as nazirite, no razor shall touch their head; it shall remain consecrated until the completion of their term as nazirite of GOD, the hair of their head being left to grow untrimmed.

kol-yeme hazziro la-Adonai al-nefesh met lo yavo

Throughout the term that they have set apart for GOD, they shall not go in where there is a dead person.

le'aviv ule'immo le'akhiv ule'akhoto lo-yittamma lahem bemotam ki nezer elohayw al-rosho

Even if their father or mother, or their brother or sister should die, they must not become defiled for any of them, since hair set apart for their God is upon their head:

kol yeme nizro qadosh hu la-Adonai

throughout their term as nazirite they are consecrated to GOD.

vekhi-yamut met alayw befeta pitom vetimme rosh nizro vegillakh rosho beyom tohorato bayyom hashevi'i yegallekhennu

If someone dies suddenly nearby, defiling [a nazirite’s] consecrated hair, they shall shave their head at the time of becoming pure, shaving it on the seventh day.

uvayyom hashemini yavi shete torim o shene bene yonah el-hakkohen el-petakh ohel mo'ed

On the eighth day they shall bring two turtledoves or two pigeons to the priest, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

ve'asah hakkohen ekhad lekhattat ve'ekhad le'olah vekhipper alayw me'asher khata al-hannafesh veqiddash et-rosho bayyom hahu

The priest shall offer one as a purgation offering and the other as a burnt offering, and make expiation on [the nazirite’s] behalf for the guilt incurred through the corpse. That same day their head shall be reconsecrated;

vehizzir la-Adonai et-yeme nizro vehevi keves ben-shenato le'asham vehayyamim harishonim yippelu ki tame nizro

and they shall rededicate to GOD their term as nazirite, bringing a lamb in its first year as a penalty offering. The previous period shall be void, since the consecrated hair was defiled.

vezot torat hannazir beyom melot yeme nizro yavi oto el-petakh ohel mo'ed

This is the ritual for the nazirite: On the day that a term as nazirite is completed, they shall be brought to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

vehiqriv et-qorbano la-Adonai keves ben-shenato tamim ekhad le'olah vekhavsah akhat bat-shenatah temimah lekhattat ve'ayil-ekhad tamim lishlamim

As an offering to GOD they shall present: one male lamb in its first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering; one ewe lamb in its first year, without blemish, for a purgation offering; one ram without blemish for an offering of well-being;

vesal matsot solet khallot belulot bashemen ureqiqe matsot meshukhim bashamen uminkhatam veniskehem

a basket of unleavened cakes of choice flour with oil mixed in, and unleavened wafers spread with oil; and the proper grain offerings and libations.

vehiqriv hakkohen lifne Adonai ve'asah et-khattato ve'et-olato

The priest shall present these before GOD and offer the purgation offering and the burnt offering.

ve'et-ha'ayil ya'aseh zevakh shelamim la-Adonai al sal hammatsot ve'asah hakkohen et-minkhato ve'et-nisko

He shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of well-being to GOD, together with the basket of unleavened cakes; the priest shall also offer the grain offerings and the libations.

vegillakh hannazir petakh ohel mo'ed et-rosh nizro velaqakh et-se'ar rosh nizro venatan al-ha'esh asher-takhat zevakh hashelamim

The nazirite shall then shave their consecrated hair, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and take those locks of consecrated hair and put them on the fire that is under the sacrifice of well-being.

velaqakh hakkohen et-hazzeroa beshelah min-ha'ayil vekhallat matsa akhat min-hassal ureqiq matsa ekhad venatan al-kappe hannazir akhar hitgallekho et-nizro

The priest shall take the shoulder of the ram when it has been boiled, one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and place them on the hands of the nazirite after the consecrated hair has been shaved.

vehenif otam hakkohen tenufah lifne Adonai qodesh hu lakkohen al khazeh hattenufah ve'al shoq hatterumah ve'akhar yishteh hannazir yayin

The priest shall elevate them as an elevation offering before GOD; and this shall be a sacred donation for the priest, in addition to the breast of the elevation offering and the thigh of gift offering. After that the nazirite may drink wine.

zot torat hannazir asher yiddor qorbano la-Adonai al-nizro millevad asher-tassig yado kefi nidro asher yiddor ken ya'aseh al torat nizro

Such is the obligation of a nazirite; except that those who vow an offering to GOD of what they can afford, beyond their nazirite requirements, must do exactly according to the vow that they have made beyond their obligation as nazirites.

vayedabber Adonai el-mosheh lemor

GOD spoke to Moses:

dabber el-aharon ve'el-banayw lemor koh tevarekhu et-bene yisra'el amor lahem

Speak to Aaron and his sons: Thus shall you bless the people of Israel. Say to them:

yevarekhkha Adonai veyishmerekha

GOD bless you and protect you!

ya'er Adonai panayw elekha vikhunnekka

GOD deal kindly and graciously with you!

yissa Adonai panayw elekha veyasem lekha shalom

GOD bestow favor upon you and grant you peace!

vesamu et-shemi al-bene yisra'el va'ani avarekhem

Thus they shall link My name with the people of Israel, and I will bless them.
