Numbers 6:1-27

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.”

民数记 6:1-27

拿细耳人的条例

1耶和华对摩西说: 2“你把以下条例告诉以色列人:无论男女,如果许愿做拿细耳人,把自己献给耶和华, 3就要禁戒淡酒和烈酒、淡酒或烈酒做的醋、葡萄汁、葡萄和葡萄干。 4在做拿细耳人期间,葡萄树所结的,包括葡萄核和葡萄皮,都不可吃。 5在许愿做拿细耳人期间,不可用剃刀剃头,要任由头发生长,要保持圣洁,一直到献给耶和华的日期满了。 6在献给耶和华期间,不可挨近死尸, 7即使父母或是兄弟姊妹死了,也不可挨近,以免沾染不洁,因为他头上有将自己奉献给上帝的记号。 8在做拿细耳人期间,他是奉献给耶和华的人。 9如果有人在他身边暴毙,使他的头发沾染不洁,他要在第七天洁净的日子剃掉头发。 10第八天,他要带两只斑鸠或雏鸽到会幕门口交给祭司。 11祭司要献一只作赎罪祭,另一只作燔祭,为他碰过死尸赎罪。他要在当日使头圣洁, 12重新开始过奉献给耶和华的日子,还要带一只一岁的公羊羔作赎过祭。他以前做拿细耳人的日子无效,因为他沾染了不洁之物。

13“献给耶和华的日子期满后,拿细耳人要遵行以下条例。他要被带到会幕门口, 14在那里献给耶和华一只毫无残疾、一岁的公羊羔作燔祭,一只毫无残疾、一岁母羊羔作赎罪祭,一只毫无残疾的公绵羊作平安祭, 15一篮调油的无酵细面饼和涂油的无酵薄饼,以及素祭和奠祭。 16祭司要把这些祭物带到耶和华面前,为他献上赎罪祭和燔祭, 17然后把公绵羊和那篮无酵饼献给耶和华作平安祭,再献上素祭和奠祭。 18拿细耳人要在会幕门口剃掉作为奉献记号的头发,把头发放在平安祭下面的火里烧掉。 19拿细耳人剃头以后,祭司要取出一条煮好的公绵羊前腿,再从篮中拿出一块无酵饼和一块无酵薄饼,放在拿细耳人手中。 20然后,祭司要把这些祭物作为摇祭在耶和华面前摇一摇。这些祭物与作摇祭的胸肉和作举祭的腿肉一样,都是归给祭司的圣物。此后,拿细耳人便可以喝酒。

21“以上是许愿献供物给耶和华的拿细耳人当守的条例和当献的祭物。但如果他额外许愿献上力所能及之物,就必须还所许的愿。”

祭司的祝福

22耶和华对摩西说: 23“你告诉亚伦父子们要这样为以色列人祝福, 24‘愿耶和华赐福给你,保护你; 25愿耶和华以祂的容光照耀你,施恩给你; 26愿耶和华笑颜垂顾你,赐你平安。’ 27他们要奉我的名为以色列人祝福,我必赐福给他们。”
