even for his father, or for
his mother, or for his brother, or for his sister, when they die,
because the consecration of his God is upon his head.
6:8. All the days of his separation he shall be holy to the Lord.
6:9. But if any man die suddenly before him: the head of his
consecration shall be defiled: and he shall shave it forthwith on the
same day of his purification, and again on the seventh day.
6:10. And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young
pigeons to the priest in the entry of the covenant of the testimony.
6:11. And the priest shall offer one for sin, and the other for a
holocaust, and shall pray for him, for that he hath sinned by the dead:
and he shall sanctify his head that day:
6:12. And shall consecrate to the Lord the days of his separation,
offering a lamb of one year for sin: yet so that the former days be made
void, because his sanctification was profaned.
6:13. This is the law of consecration. When the days which he had
determined by vow shall be expired, he shall bring him to the door of
the tabernacle of the covenant,
6:14. And shall offer his oblation to the Lord: one he lamb of a year
old without blemish for a holocaust, and one ewe lamb of a year old
without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for a
victim of peace offering,
6:15. A basket also of unleavened bread, tempered with oil, and wafers
without leaven anointed with oil, and the libations of each:
6:16. And the priest shall present them before the Lord, and shall offer
both the sin offering and the holocaust.
6:17. But the ram he shall immolate for a sacrifice of peace offering to
the Lord, offering at the same time the basket of unleavened bread, and
the libations that are due by custom.
6:18. Then shall the hair of the consecration of the Nazarite, be shaved
off before the door of the tabernacle of the covenant: and he shall take
his hair, and lay it upon the fire, which is under the sacrifice of the
peace offerings.
6:19. And shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened
cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and he shall deliver
them into the hands of the Nazarite, after his head is shaven.
6:20. And receiving them again from him, he shall elevate them in the
sight of the Lord: and they being sanctified shall belong to the priest,
as the breast, which was commanded to be separated, and the shoulder.
After this the Nazarite may drink wine.
