Numbers 6:1–8

¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ²Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If a man or a woman have vowed the special vow of a Nazarite, to consecrate themselves to Jehovah; ³he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink: he shall drink no vinegar of wine, nor vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat grapes, fresh or dried. ⁴All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine, from the seed-stones, even to the skin. ⁵All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head; until the days be fulfilled, that he hath consecrated himself to Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. ⁶All the days that he hath consecrated himself to Jehovah, he shall come near no 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; for the consecration of his God is upon his head. ⁸All the days of his separation he is holy to Jehovah.
