1The LORD told Moses
2to say to the people of Israel:
If any of you want to dedicate yourself to me by vowing to become a Nazirite,
3you must no longer drink any wine or beer or use any kind of vinegar. Don't drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins— You will then be forgiven for being too near a dead body, and your hair will again become sacred.
12But the dead body made you unacceptable, so you must make another vow to become a Nazirite and be dedicated once more. Finally, a year-old ram must be offered as the sacrifice to make things right.
13When you have completed your promised time of being a Nazirite, go to the sacred tent
15Wine offerings and grain sacrifices must also be brought with these animals. Finally, you are to bring a basket of bread made with your finest flour and olive oil, but without yeast. Also bring some thin wafers brushed with oil.
16The priest will take these gifts to my altar and offer them, so that I will be pleased and will forgive you.
17Then he will sacrifice the ram and offer the wine, grain, and bread.
18After that, you will stand at the entrance to the sacred tent, shave your head, and put the hair in the fire where the priest has offered the sacrifice to ask my blessing.
19Once the meat from the ram's shoulder has been boiled, the priest will take it, along with one loaf of bread and one wafer brushed with oil, and give them to you.
20You will hand them back to the priest, who will lift them up in dedication to me. Then he can eat the meat from the ram's shoulder, its choice ribs, and its hind leg, because this is his share of the sacrifice. After this, you will no longer be a Nazirite and will be free to drink wine.
21These are the requirements for Nazirites. However, if you can afford to offer more, you must do so.
The blessing for the people22The LORD told Moses,
23“When Aaron and his sons bless the people of Israel, they must say:
24I pray that the LORD
will bless and protect you,
25and that he will show you mercy
and kindness.
26May the LORD be good to you
and give you peace.”
27Then the LORD said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israelites, I will give them my blessing.”
