Numbers 6:7-13 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

7. for even his father, mother, brother, or sister he will not make himself unclean by their death, because the separation to his God is on his head.

8. He will be holy for Yahweh all the days of his separation.

9. “ ‘If someone dies suddenly and makes the head of his separation unclean, he will shave off the hair of his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he will shave it off.

10. On the eighth day he will bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest by the doorway of the tent of assembly,

11. and the priest will offer one for a sin offering and one for a burnt offering, and he will make atonement for him because he sinned concerning the corpse. He will consecrate his head on that day.

12. He will rededicate to Yahweh the days of his separation and bring a ram-lamb in its first year as a guilt offering. The former days of his vow will fall away because his separation was defiled.

13. “ ‘This is the regulation of the Nazirite for the day of the fulfilling of the days of his separation: one will bring him to the doorway of the tent of the assembly.
