Numbers 6:19-26 New Century Version (NCV)

19. “ ‘After the Nazirites cut off their hair, the priest will give them a boiled shoulder from the male sheep. From the basket he will also give a loaf and a wafer, both made without yeast.

20. Then the priest will present them to the Lord. They are holy and belong to the priest. Also, he is to present the breast and the thigh from the male sheep. After that, the Nazirites may drink wine.

21. “ ‘This is the teaching for the Nazirites who make a promise. Everyone who makes the Nazirite promise must give all of these gifts to the Lord. If they promised to do more, they must keep their promise, according to the teaching of the Nazirites.’ ”

22. The Lord said to Moses,

23. “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you should bless the Israelites. Say to them:

24. “May the Lord bless you and keep you.

25. May the Lord show you his kindnessand have mercy on you.
