1 En die HERE het met Moses gespreek en gesê:

2 Spreek met die kinders van Israel en sê vir hulle: As 'n man of 'n vrou 'n besondere gelofte aflê, die gelofte van 'n nasireër, om hom aan die HERE te wy,

3 moet hy hom van wyn en sterk drank onthou; wyn-asyn en asyn van sterk drank mag hy nie drink nie, ja, geen druiwesap mag hy drink nie en geen vars of gedroogde druiwe eet nie.

4 Al die dae van sy nasireërskap mag hy niks eet van alles wat van die wynstok gemaak is nie, selfs nie van die pitte en doppe nie.

5 Al die dae van die gelofte van sy nasireërskap mag geen skeermes oor sy hoof gaan nie. Totdat die dae om is dat hy hom aan die HERE toewy, moet hy heilig wees -- hy moet die hare van sy hoof vry laat groei.

6 Al die dae dat hy hom aan die HERE gewy het, mag hy nie by 'n dooie kom nie.

7 Aan sy vader of sy moeder, aan sy broer of sy suster -- aan hulle mag hy hom nie verontreinig as hulle dood is nie; want die wyding van sy God is op sy hoof.

8 Al die dae van sy nasireërskap is hy heilig aan die HERE.

9 En as heeltemal onverwags iemand by hom sterwe, sodat hy sy gewyde hoof verontreinig, moet hy op die dag van sy reiniging sy hoof skeer; op die sewende dag moet hy dit skeer.

10 En op die agtste dag moet hy twee tortelduiwe of twee jong duiwe na die priester, na die ingang van die tent van samekoms, bring.

11 En die priester moet een as sondoffer en een as brandoffer berei en vir hom versoening doen vir wat hy uit oorsaak van die dooie gesondig het; so moet hy dan sy hoof op dieselfde dag heilig.

12 Daarna moet hy die dae van sy nasireërskap aan die HERE wy en 'n jaaroud lam as skuldoffer bring; en die vorige dae moet wegval, omdat sy nasireërskap verontreinig is.

13 En dit is die wet van die nasireër: Op die dag as die dae van sy nasireërskap om is, moet hulle hom na die ingang van die tent van samekoms bring;

14 en hy moet sy offer aan die HERE bring: een jaaroud lam sonder gebrek as brandoffer en een jaaroud ooilam sonder gebrek as sondoffer en een ram sonder gebrek as dankoffer

15 en 'n mandjie ongesuurde koeke van fynmeel, koeke met olie gemeng en ongesuurde platkoeke met olie bestryk, en die spysoffer en die drankoffers wat daarby behoort.

16 En die priester moet dit voor die aangesig van die HERE bring en die sondoffer en brandoffer vir hom berei.

17 Hy moet ook die ram as dankoffer aan die HERE gereedmaak saam met die mandjie ongesuurde koeke; en die priester moet die spysoffer en drankoffer vir hom berei.

18 Dan moet die nasireër by die ingang van die tent van samekoms sy gewyde hoof skeer en die hare van sy gewyde hoof neem en dit op die vuur gooi wat onder die dankoffer is.

19 Verder moet die priester die gekookte blad van die ram afneem en een ongesuurde koek uit die mandjie en een ongesuurde platkoek; en hy moet hulle op die hande van die nasireër sit nadat die sy gewyde hare afgeskeer het.

20 En die priester moet dit beweeg as beweegoffer voor die aangesig van die HERE. Dit is iets heiligs vir die priester saam met die bors van die beweegoffer en die boud van die hefoffer. En daarna mag die nasireër wyn drink.

21 Dit is die wet vir die nasireër wat sy offer aan die HERE beloof op grond van sy nasireërskap, behalwe wat hy verder kan bekostig. Volgens sy gelofte wat hy afgelê het, so moet hy doen volgens die wet van sy nasireërskap.

22 En die HERE het met Moses gespreek en gesê:

23 Spreek met A„ron en sy seuns en sê: So moet julle die kinders van Israel seën deur vir hulle te sê:

24 Die HERE sal jou seën en jou behoed;

25 die HERE sal sy aangesig oor jou laat skyn en jou genadig wees;

26 die HERE sal sy aangesig oor jou verhef en aan jou vrede gee.

27 So moet hulle dan my Naam op die kinders van Israel lê; en k sal hulle seën.

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself unto Jehovah, 3 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried. 4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the husk.

5 All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in which he separateth himself unto Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.

6 All the days that he separateth himself unto Jehovah he shall not come near to a dead body. 7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because his separation unto God is upon his head. 8 All the days of his separation he is holy unto Jehovah.

9 And if any man die very suddenly beside him, and he defile the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it. 10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting: 11 and the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day. 12 And he shall separate unto Jehovah the days of his separation, and shall bring a he-lamb a year old for a trespass-offering; but the former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.

13 And this is the law of the Nazirite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tent of meeting: 14 and he shall offer his oblation unto Jehovah, one he-lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one ewe-lamb a year old without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for peace-offerings, 15 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings. 16 And the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering: 17 and he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof. 18 And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace-offerings. 19 And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he hath shaven the head of his separation; 20 and the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah; this is holy for the priest, together with the wave-breast and heave-thigh: and after that the Nazirite may drink wine.

21 This is the law of the Nazirite who voweth, and of his oblation unto Jehovah for his separation, besides that which he is able to get: according to his vow which he voweth, so he must do after the law of his separation.

22 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: ye shall say unto them,

24 Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee:

25 Jehovah make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

26 Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

27 So shall they put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
