Numbers 6

Allah spoke to Musa, saying, 2Speak to Bani-Israel, and tell them: When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to Allah, 3he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of fermented drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried. 4All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made of the grapevine, from the seeds even to the skins.

5All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor come on his head, until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates himself to Allah. He shall be holy. He shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.

6All the days that he separates himself to Allah he shall not go near a dead body. 7He 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. 8All the days of his separation he is holy to Allah.

9If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it. 10On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting. 11The priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall make his head holy that same day. 12He shall separate to Allah the days of his separation, and shall bring a male lamb a year old for a trespass offering; but the former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.

13This is the law of the Nazirite: when the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the Tent of Meeting, 14and he shall offer his offering to Allah, one male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings, 15and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings. 16The priest shall present them before Allah, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering. 17He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to Allah, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer also its meal offering, and its drink offering. 18The Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace offerings. 19The priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, 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 the head of his separation; 20and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Allah. This is holy for the priest, together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is offered. After that the Nazirite may drink wine.

21This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his offering to Allah for his separation, besides that which he is able to get. According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the law of his separation.

22Allah spoke to Musa, saying, 23Speak to Harun and to his sons, saying, ‘This is how you shall bless Bani-Israel.’ You shall tell them,

24‘Allah bless you, and keep you.
25Allah make his face to shine on you,
And be gracious to you.
26Allah lift up his face toward you,
And give you peace.’

27So they shall put my name on Bani-Israel; and I will bless them.
