Numbers 6:19-27 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

19. “‘After the Nazirite cuts off his hair, the priest will give him a boiled shoulder from the male sheep. From the basket he will also give him a loaf and a wafer. Both are made without yeast.

20. Then the priest will present them to the Lord. This is an offering presented before the Lord. They are holy and belong to the priest. Also, he is to present the breast and the thigh from the male sheep to the Lord. They also belong to the priest. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.

21. “‘This is the teaching for the Nazirite promise. If a person makes the Nazirite promise, he must give all of these gifts to the Lord. If he promised to do more, he must keep his promise. That is also the teaching of the Nazirite promise.’”

22. The Lord said to Moses,

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

24. “May the Lord bless you and keep you.

25. May the Lord show you his kindness.May he have mercy on you.

26. May the Lord watch over youand give you peace.”’

27. “So Aaron and his sons will bless the Israelites with my name. And I will bless them.”
