19. After the Nazirite’s head has been shaved, the priest will take for each of them the boiled shoulder of the ram, and he will take from the basket a cake and a wafer made without yeast. He will put them all into the Nazirite’s hands.
20. Then the priest will lift them up as a special offering before the lord. These are holy portions for the priest, along with the breast of the special offering and the thigh of the sacred offering that are lifted up before the lord. After this ceremony the Nazirites may again drink wine.
21. “This is the ritual law of the Nazirites, who vow to bring these offerings to the lord. They may also bring additional offerings if they can afford it. And they must be careful to do whatever they vowed when they set themselves apart as Nazirites.”
22. Then the lord said to Moses,
23. “Tell Aaron and his sons to bless the people of Israel with this special blessing:
24. ‘May the lord bless youand protect you.
25. May the lord smile on youand be gracious to you.
26. May the lord show you his favorand give you his peace.’
27. Whenever Aaron and his sons bless the people of Israel in my name, I myself will bless them.”
