New Testament

Numbers 6:18-27 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

18. ‘ “Then at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the Nazirite must shave off the hair that symbolises their dedication. They are to take the hair and put it in the fire that is under the sacrifice of the fellowship offering.

19. ‘ “After the Nazirite has shaved off the hair that symbolises their dedication, the priest is to place in their hands a boiled shoulder of the ram, and one thick loaf and one thin loaf from the basket, both made without yeast.

20. The priest shall then wave these before the Lord as a wave offering; they are holy and belong to the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.

21. ‘ “This is the law of the Nazirite who vows offerings to the Lord in accordance with their dedication, in addition to whatever else they can afford. They must fulfil the vows they have made, according to the law of the Nazirite.” ’

22. The Lord said to Moses,

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

24. ‘ “ ‘The Lord bless youand keep you;

25. the Lord make his face shine on youand be gracious to you;

26. the Lord turn his face towards youand give you peace.’ ”

27. ‘So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.’
