1. Again Adonai spoke to Moses saying,
2. “Speak to Bnei-Yisrael and say to them: Any man or woman who desires to vow a Nazirite vow to be separate for Adonai,
3. is to abstain from wine and any other fermented drink. He is not to drink any vinegar made from wine or any fermented drink, or any grape juice, or eat grapes or raisins.
4. “All during his days as a Nazirite he is not to eat anything from the grapevine—even the seeds or skins.
5. All the duration of his Nazirite vow, no razor is to come on his head until the time of his consecration to Adonai is over. He is to be holy, and the hair of his head is to grow long.
6. All the days of his separation to Adonai, he is not to go near a dead body.
7. Even if his father, mother, brother or sister should die, he is not to make himself unclean, because his consecration to God is on his head.
8. All the days of his separation, he is to be consecrated to Adonai.
9. “Now if someone should die suddenly in his presence, thereby defiling his dedicated head, he is to shave his head on the day of his purification—the seventh day.
10. Then on the eighth day, he is to bring two doves or two young pigeons to the kohen at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
11. The kohen is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. He is to make atonement for him because he sinned through the corpse. He must consecrate his head on the same day.
12. He will be dedicated to Adonai for the days of his Nazirite separation. He is to bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days will not count because he was contaminated during his Nazirite separation.
