Old Testament

New Testament

Numbers 6:6-11 Modern English Version (MEV)

6. All the days that he separates himself to the Lord he will not approach a dead body.

7. He will not defile himself for his father or for his mother, for his brother or for his sister if they die because the separation of his God is on his head.

8. All the days of his separation he is holy to the Lord.

9. If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he has defiled his consecrated head, then he will shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day will he shave it.

10. On the eighth day he will bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting.

11. And the priest will offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering and make an atonement for him, since he sinned because of the dead, and will sanctify his head that same day.
