6. The period of dedication to the Lord also requires that the person not go near a corpse,
7. whether father, mother, brother, or sister. Nazirites should not defile themselves because of the death of these people, because they bear the sign of their dedication to God on their heads.
8. While a nazirite, the person is holy to the Lord.
9. If someone suddenly dies nearby, defiling the head of the nazirite, he or she will shave the head on the day of cleansing; they will shave it on the seventh day.
10. On the eighth day the person will bring two turtledoves or two young doves to the priest at the entrance of the meeting tent.
11. The priest will offer one for a purification offering and the other as an entirely burned offering. He will seek reconciliation for the person on account of the guilt acquired from the corpse, and he will make the head holy again on that same day.
12. The person will be rededicated to the Lord as a nazirite and bring a one-year-old male lamb for a compensation offering. The previous period will be invalid, because the nazirite promise was defiled.
