4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
all the days of his vow: he shall eat no one of all the things that come from the vine, wine from the grape-stones to the husk,
5 All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto Yhwh, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
all the days of his separation: —a razor shall not come upon his head, until the days be fulfilled which he vowed to the Lord: he shall be holy, cherishing the long hair of the head,
6 All the days that he separateth himself unto Yhwh he shall come at no dead body.
all the days of his vow to the Lord: he shall not come near to any dead body,
7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head.

8 All the days of his separation he is holy unto Yhwh.
All the days of his vow he shall be holy to the Lord.
9 And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.
And if any one should die suddenly by him, immediately the head of his vow shall be defiled; and he shall shave his head in whatever day he shall be purified: on the seventh day he shall be shaved.
10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the doors of the tabernacle of witness.
11 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.
And the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering; and the other for a whole burnt offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him in the things wherein he sinned respecting the dead body, and he shall sanctify his head in that day,
12 And he shall consecrate unto Yhwh the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.

13 And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
And this is the law of him that has vowed: in whatever day he shall have fulfilled the days of his vow, he shall himself bring his gift to the doors of the tabernacle of witness.
14 And he shall offer his offering unto Yhwh, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,
And he shall bring his gift to the Lord; one he-lamb of a year old without blemish for a whole burnt offering, and one ewe-lamb of a year old without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for a peace-offering;

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the children of Israel, saying to them,
24 Yhwh bless thee, and keep thee:
The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 Yhwh make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and have mercy upon you;
26 Yhwh lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I the Lord will bless them.
