18. After 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.
19. Once 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.
20. You 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.
21. These are the requirements for Nazirites. However, if you can afford to offer more, you must do so.
22. The Lord told Moses,
23. “When Aaron and his sons bless the people of Israel, they must say:
24. “I pray that the Lordwill bless and protect you,
25. and that he will show you mercyand kindness.
26. May the Lord be good to youand give you peace.”
27. Then the Lord said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israelites, I will give them my blessing.”
