The Nazirite
1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man or woman wants to make a special vow, a vow of dedication to the Lord as a Nazirite, 3they must abstain from wine and other fermented drink and must not drink vinegar made from wine or other fermented drink. They must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins. 4As long as they remain under their Nazirite vow, they must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins.
5“ ‘During the entire period of their Nazirite vow, no razor may be used on their head. They must be holy until the period of their dedication to the Lord is over; they must let their hair grow long.
6“ ‘Throughout the period of their dedication to the Lord, the Nazirite must not go near a dead body. 7Even if their own father or mother or brother or sister dies, they must not make themselves ceremonially unclean on account of them, because the symbol of their dedication to God is on their head. 8Throughout the period of their dedication, they are consecrated to the Lord.
9“ ‘If someone dies suddenly in the Nazirite’s presence, thus defiling the hair that symbolizes their dedication, they must shave their head on the seventh day—the day of their cleansing. 10Then on the eighth day they must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 11The priest is to offer one as a sin offering6:11 Or purification offering; also in verses 14 and 16 and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for the Nazirite because they sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. That same day they are to consecrate their head again. 12They must rededicate themselves to the Lord for the same period of dedication and must bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days do not count, because they became defiled during their period of dedication.
13“ ‘Now this is the law of the Nazirite when the period of their dedication is over. They are to be brought to the entrance to the tent of meeting. 14There they are to present their offerings to the Lord: a year-old male lamb without defect for a burnt offering, a year-old ewe lamb without defect for a sin offering, a ram without defect for a fellowship offering, 15together with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and a basket of bread made with the finest flour and without yeast—thick loaves with olive oil mixed in, and thin loaves brushed with olive oil.
16“ ‘The priest is to present all these before the Lord and make the sin offering and the burnt offering. 17He is to present the basket of unleavened bread and is to sacrifice the ram as a fellowship offering to the Lord, together with its grain offering and drink offering.
18“ ‘Then at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the Nazirite must shave off the hair that symbolizes their dedication. They are to take the hair and put it in the fire that is under the sacrifice of the fellowship offering.
19“ ‘After the Nazirite has shaved off the hair that symbolizes their dedication, the priest is to place in their hands a boiled shoulder of the ram, and one thick loaf and one thin loaf from the basket, both made without yeast. 20The priest shall then wave these before the Lord as a wave offering; they are holy and belong to the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.
21“ ‘This is the law of the Nazirite who vows offerings to the Lord in accordance with their dedication, in addition to whatever else they can afford. They must fulfill the vows they have made, according to the law of the Nazirite.’ ”
The Priestly Blessing
22The Lord said to Moses, 23“Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:
24“ ‘ “The Lord bless you
and keep you;
25the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
26the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.” ’
27“So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
拿細耳人的條例
1耶和華對摩西說： 2「你把以下條例告訴以色列人。
「無論男女，如果許願做拿細耳人，把自己獻給耶和華， 3就要禁戒淡酒和烈酒、淡酒或烈酒做的醋、葡萄汁、葡萄和葡萄乾。 4在做拿細耳人期間，葡萄樹所結的，包括葡萄核和葡萄皮，都不可吃。 5在許願做拿細耳人期間，不可用剃刀剃頭，要任由頭髮生長，要保持聖潔，一直到獻給耶和華的日期滿了。 6在獻給耶和華期間，不可挨近死屍， 7即使父母或是兄弟姊妹死了，也不可挨近，以免沾染不潔，因為他頭上有將自己奉獻給上帝的記號。 8在做拿細耳人期間，他是奉獻給耶和華的人。 9如果有人在他身邊暴斃，使他的頭髮沾染不潔，他要等到第七天潔淨的日子剃掉頭髮。 10第八天，他要帶兩隻斑鳩或雛鴿到會幕門口交給祭司。 11祭司要獻一隻作贖罪祭，另一隻作燔祭，為他碰過死屍贖罪。他要在當日使頭聖潔， 12重新開始過奉獻給耶和華的日子，還要帶一隻一歲的公羊羔作贖過祭。他以前做拿細耳人的日子無效，因為他沾染了不潔之物。
13「獻給耶和華的日子期滿後，拿細耳人要遵行以下條例。他要被帶到會幕門口， 14在那裡獻給耶和華一隻毫無殘疾、一歲的公羊羔作燔祭，一隻毫無殘疾、一歲母羊羔作贖罪祭，一隻毫無殘疾的公綿羊作平安祭， 15一籃調油的無酵細麵餅和塗油的無酵薄餅，以及素祭和奠祭。 16祭司要把這些祭物帶到耶和華面前，為他獻上贖罪祭和燔祭， 17然後把公綿羊和無酵餅獻給耶和華作平安祭，再獻上素祭和奠祭。 18拿細耳人要在會幕門口剃掉作為奉獻記號的頭髮，把頭髮放在平安祭的火裡燒掉。 19拿細耳人剃頭以後，祭司要取出一條煮好的公綿羊前腿，再從籃中拿出一塊無酵餅和一塊無酵薄餅，放在拿細耳人手中。 20然後，祭司要把這些祭物作為搖祭在耶和華面前搖一搖。這些祭物與作搖祭的胸肉和作舉祭的腿肉一樣，都是歸給祭司的聖物。此後，拿細耳人便可以喝酒。
21「以上是許願獻供物給耶和華的拿細耳人當守的條例和當獻的祭物。但如果他額外許願獻上力所能及之物，就必須還所許的願。」
祭司的祝福
22耶和華對摩西說： 23「你告訴亞倫父子們要這樣為以色列人祝福， 24『願耶和華賜福給你，保護你； 25願耶和華笑顏垂顧你，施恩給你； 26願耶和華恩待你，賜你平安。』 27他們要奉我的名為以色列人祝福，我必賜福給他們。」
