Numbers 6:1–8

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ²‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When a man or woman doeth singularly, by vowing a vow of a Nazarite, to be separate to Jehovah; ³from wine and strong drink he doth keep separate; vinegar of wine, and vinegar of strong drink he doth not drink, and any juice of grapes he doth not drink, and grapes moist or dry he doth not eat; ⁴all days of his separation, of anything which is made of the wine-vine, from kernels even unto husk, he doth not eat.

⁵‘All days of the vow of his separation a razor doth not pass over his head; till the fulness of the days which he doth separate to Jehovah he is holy; grown up hath the upper part of the hair of his head.

⁶‘All days of his keeping separate to Jehovah, near a dead person he doth not go; ⁷for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister—he is not unclean for them at their death, for the separation of his God is on his head; ⁸all days of his separation he is holy to Jehovah.
