Liber Numeri 6

1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 loquere ad filios Israhel et dices ad eos vir sive mulier cum fecerit votum ut sanctificentur et se voluerint Domino consecrare

'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When a man or woman doeth singularly, by vowing a vow of a Nazarite, to be separate to Jehovah;

3 vino et omni quod inebriare potest abstinebunt acetum ex vino et ex qualibet alia potione et quicquid de uva exprimitur non bibent uvas recentes siccasque non comedent

from wine and strong drink he doth keep separate; vinegar of wine, and vinegar of strong drink he doth not drink, and any juice of grapes he doth not drink, and grapes moist or dry he doth not eat;

4 cunctis diebus quibus ex voto Domino consecrantur quicquid ex vinea esse potest ab uva passa usque ad acinum non comedent

all days of his separation, of anything which is made of the wine-vine, from kernels even unto husk, he doth not eat.

5 omni tempore separationis suae novacula non transibit super caput eius usque ad conpletum diem quo Domino consecratur sanctus erit crescente caesarie capitis eius

'All days of the vow of his separation a razor doth not pass over his head; till the fulness of the days which he doth separate to Jehovah he is holy; grown up hath the upper part of the hair of his head.

6 omni tempore consecrationis suae super mortuum non ingredietur

'All days of his keeping separate to Jehovah, near a dead person he doth not go;

7 nec super patris quidem et matris et fratris sororisque funere contaminabitur quia consecratio Dei sui super caput eius est

for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister — he is not unclean for them at their death, for the separation of his God [is] on his head;

8 omnes dies separationis suae sanctus erit Domino

all days of his separation he [is] holy to Jehovah.

9 sin autem mortuus fuerit subito quispiam coram eo polluetur caput consecrationis eius quod radet ilico et in eadem die purgationis suae et rursum septima

'And when the dead dieth beside him in an instant, suddenly, and he hath defiled the head of his separation, then he hath shaved his head in the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he doth shave it,

10 in octavo autem die offeret duos turtures vel duos pullos columbae sacerdoti in introitu foederis testimonii

and on the eighth day he bringeth in two turtle-doves or two young pigeons unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of meeting,

11 facietque sacerdos unum pro peccato et alterum in holocaustum et deprecabitur pro eo quia peccavit super mortuo sanctificabitque caput eius in die illo

and the priest hath prepared one for a sin-offering, and one for a burnt-offering, and hath made atonement for him, because of that which he hath sinned by the body, and he hath hallowed his head on that day;

12 et consecrabit Domino dies separationis illius offerens agnum anniculum pro peccato ita tamen ut dies priores irriti fiant quoniam polluta est sanctificatio eius

and he hath separated to Jehovah the days of his separation, and he hath brought in a lamb, a son of a year, for a guilt-offering, and the former days are fallen, for his separation hath been defiled.

13 ista est lex consecrationis cum dies quos ex voto decreverat conplebuntur adducet eum ad ostium tabernaculi foederis

'And this [is] the law of the Nazarite; in the day of the fulness of the days of his separation doth [one] bring him in unto the opening of the tent of meeting,

14 et offeret oblationem eius Domino agnum anniculum inmaculatum in holocaustum et ovem anniculam inmaculatam pro peccato et arietem inmaculatum hostiam pacificam

and he hath brought near his offering to Jehovah, one he-lamb, a son of a year, a perfect one, for a burnt-offering, and one she-lamb, a daughter of a year, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and one ram, a perfect one, for peace-offerings,

15 canistrum quoque panum azymorum qui conspersi sunt oleo et lagana absque fermento uncta oleo ac libamina singulorum

and a basket of unleavened things of flour, cakes mixed with oil, and thin cakes of unleavened things anointed with oil, and their present, and their libations.

16 quae offeret sacerdos coram Domino et faciet tam pro peccato quam in holocaustum

'And the priest hath brought [them] near before Jehovah, and hath made his sin-offering and his burnt-offering;

17 arietem vero immolabit hostiam pacificam Domino offerens simul canistrum azymorum et libamenta quae ex more debentur

and the ram he maketh a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, besides the basket of unleavened things; and the priest hath made its present and its libation.

18 tunc radetur nazareus ante ostium tabernaculi foederis caesarie consecrationis suae tolletque capillos eius et ponet super ignem qui est subpositus sacrificio pacificorum

'And the Nazarite hath shaved (at the opening of the tent of meeting) the head of his separation, and hath taken the hair of the head of his separation, and hath put [it] on the fire which [is] under the sacrifice of the peace-offerings.

19 et armum coctum arietis tortamque absque fermento unam de canistro et laganum azymum unum et tradet in manibus nazarei postquam rasum fuerit caput eius

'And the priest hath taken the boiled shoulder from the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one thin unleavened cake, and hath put on the palms of the Nazarite after his shaving his separation;

20 susceptaque rursum ab eo elevabit in conspectu Domini et sanctificata sacerdotis erunt sicut pectusculum quod separari iussum est et femur post haec potest bibere nazareus vinum

and the priest hath waved them, a wave-offering before Jehovah; it [is] holy to the priest, besides the breast of the wave-offering, and besides the leg of the heave-offering; and afterwards doth the Nazarite drink wine.

21 ista est lex nazarei cum voverit oblationem suam Domino tempore consecrationis suae exceptis his quae invenerit manus eius iuxta quod mente devoverat ita faciet ad perfectionem sanctificationis suae

'This [is] the law of the Nazarite, who voweth his offering to Jehovah for his separation, apart from that which his hand attaineth; according to his vow which he voweth so he doth by the law of his separation.'

22 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

23 loquere Aaron et filiis eius sic benedicetis filiis Israhel et dicetis eis

'Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, saying, Thus ye do bless the sons of Israel, saying to them,

24 benedicat tibi Dominus et custodiat te

'Jehovah bless thee and keep thee;

25 ostendat Dominus faciem suam tibi et misereatur tui

'Jehovah cause His face to shine upon thee, and favour thee;

26 convertat Dominus vultum suum ad te et det tibi pacem

'Jehovah lift up His countenance upon thee, and appoint for thee — peace.

27 invocabunt nomen meum super filios Israhel et ego benedicam eis

'And they have put My name upon the sons of Israel, and I — I do bless them.'
