The Scriptures 1998

Numbers 6:1-7 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

2. “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When a man or woman does separate, by making a vow of a Nazirite, to be separate to יהוה,

3. he separates himself from wine and strong drink – he drinks neither vinegar of wine nor vinegar of strong drink, neither does he drink any grape juice, nor eat grapes or raisins.

4. ‘All the days of his separation he does not eat whatever is made of the grapevine, from seed to skin.

5. ‘All the days of the vow of his separation a razor does not come upon his head. Until the days are completed for which he does separate himself to יהוה, he is set-apart. He shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.

6. ‘All the days of his separation to יהוה he does not go near a dead body.

7. ‘He does not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother or his sister, when they die, because his separation to Elohim is on his head.
