² “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man or woman wants to make a special vow^(A), a vow of dedication^(B) to the Lord as a Nazirite,^{(C) 3} they must abstain from wine^(D) and other fermented drink and must not drink vinegar^(E) made from wine or other fermented drink. They must not drink grape juice or eat grapes^(F) or raisins. ⁴ As 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^(G) may be used on their head.^(H) 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.^(I)

¹³ “‘Now this is the law of the Nazirite when the period of their dedication is over.^(A) They are to be brought to the entrance to the tent of meeting.^{(B) 14} There they are to present their offerings to the Lord: a year-old male lamb without defect^(C) for a burnt offering, a year-old ewe lamb without defect for a sin offering,^(D) a ram^(E) without defect for a fellowship offering,^{(F) 15} together with their grain offerings^(G) and drink offerings,^(H) 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.^(I)

¹⁶ “‘The priest is to present all these^(J) before the Lord^(K) and make the sin offering and the burnt offering.^{(L) 17} He is to present the basket of unleavened bread and is to sacrifice the ram as a fellowship offering^(M) to the Lord, together with its grain offering^(N) and drink offering.^(O)

¹⁸ “‘Then at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the Nazirite must shave off the hair that symbolizes their dedication.^(P) They are to take the hair and put it in the fire that is under the sacrifice of the fellowship offering.
