Numbers 6:6–12

⁶‘^aAll the days of his dedication as a Nazirite to Yahweh he shall not go near to a dead person.

⁷‘He ^ashall not defile himself for his father or for his mother, for his brother or for his sister, when they die, because the Nazirite vow to his God is on his head.

⁸‘All the days of his Nazirite vow he is holy to Yahweh.

⁹‘But if a man dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles the head of hair during his Nazirite vow, then ^ahe shall shave his head on the day when he becomes clean; ^bhe shall shave it on the seventh day.

¹⁰‘Then on the eighth day he shall bring ^atwo turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the doorway of the tent of meeting.

¹¹‘And the priest shall offer ^aone for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering and make atonement for him ¹concerning his sin because of the dead person. And that same day he shall set apart his head as holy,

¹²and shall dedicate to Yahweh the days of his ¹Nazirite vow and shall bring a male lamb a year old for a guilt offering; but the former days will be void because his Nazirite vow was defiled.
