Numbers 6:20-27 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

20. The priest shall then elevate them as an elevated offering before the Lord. They are an offering belonging to the priest, along with the brisket of the elevated offering and the leg of the contribution. Only after this may the nazirite drink wine.

21. This, then, is the law for the nazirites, that is, what they vow as their offering to the Lord in accord with their dedication, apart from anything else which their means may allow. In keeping with the vow they take so shall they do, according to the law of their dedication.

22. The Lord said to Moses:

23. Speak to Aaron and his sons and tell them: This is how you shall bless the Israelites. Say to them:

24. The Lord bless you and keep you!

25. The Lord let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you!

26. The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace!

27. So shall they invoke my name upon the Israelites, and I will bless them.
