2. to say to the people of Israel:If any of you want to dedicate yourself to me by vowing to become a Nazirite,
3. you must no longer drink any wine or beer or use any kind of vinegar. Don't drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins—
4. not even the seeds or skins.
5. Even the hair of a Nazirite is sacred to me, and as long as you are a Nazirite, you must never cut your hair.
6. During the time that you are a Nazirite, you must never go close to a dead body,
7-8. not even that of your father, mother, brother, or sister. That would make you unclean. Your hair is the sign that you are dedicated to me, so remain holy.
9. If someone suddenly dies near you, your hair is no longer sacred, and you must shave it seven days later during the ceremony to make you clean.
10. Then on the next day, bring two doves or two pigeons to the priest at the sacred tent.
