CHAPTER 6 Laws Regarding Vows of Purity

1 And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the sons of Israel! And you shall say to them, A man or woman, who ever should greatly vow a vow to purify oneself in purity to the lord, 3 from wine and liquor he shall be pure, and strong drink from out of wine; and strong drink from out of liquor he shall not drink; and as many things as are manufactured from out of the grape he shall not drink; and [²grape ¹fresh] and dried grape he shall not eat. 4 All the days of his vow, from all as many things as come from the grapevine, wine, from dregs unto grape-stone, he shall not eat. 5 All the days of the vow of his purification a razor shall not come upon his head, until whenever [³should be fulfilled ¹the ²days], as many as he made a vow to the lord. He shall be holy, maintaining the lock of hair on his head. 6 All the days of the vow to the lord [³unto ⁴any ⁵soul ⁶coming to an end ¹he shall not ²enter]. 7 Unto father and unto mother, and to brother, and to sister, he shall not be defiled by them in their dying; for [²vow ³of God ¹his] is upon him, upon his head. 8 All the days of his vow will be holy to the lord. 9 And if anyone [²to death ¹should die] near him suddenly, immediately [⁴shall be defiled ¹the ²head ³of his vow]; and he shall shave his head in which day he should be cleansed; the [²day ¹seventh] he shall be shaved. 10 And the [²day ¹eighth] he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons to the priest at the doors of the tent of the testimony. 11 And [³shall offer ¹the ²priest] one for a sin offering, and one for a whole burnt-offering; and [³shall atone ⁴for ⁵him ¹the ²priest], for of which he sinned concerning touching the dead soul, and he shall sanctify his head in that day, 12 in which he was sanctified to the lord, all the days of the vow. And he shall lead forward a lamb of a year old for a trespass offering. And the [²days ¹former] shall not be reckoned, for [⁴was defiled ¹the ²head ³of his vow]. 13 And this is the law of the making a vow; in which ever day he shall have fulfilled the days of his vow, he shall bring himself by the doors of the tent of the testimony, 14 and shall lead his gift to the lord -- [³he-lamb ⁴of a year old ²unblemished ¹one] for a whole burnt-offering, and [³ewe-lamb ⁴of a year old ¹one ²unblemished] for a sin offering, and [³ram ¹one ²unblemished] for a deliverance offering; 15 and a bin of unleavened fine flour breads being prepared in olive oil, and [²pancakes ¹unleavened] being anointed in olive oil, and their sacrifice, and their libation. 16 And [³shall bring them ¹the ²priest] before the lord, and shall offer the sacrifice for his sin offering, and his whole burnt-offering. 17 And with the ram he shall make a sacrifice of deliverance to the lord with the bin of unleavened breads. And [³shall offer ¹the ²priest] his sacrifice offering, and his libation. 18 And [³shall shave ¹the ²one making a vow] by the doors of the tent of the testimony the head of his vow; and he shall place the hair upon the fire, the one which is upon the sacrifice of the deliverance offering. 19 And [³shall take ¹the ²priest] the shoulder cooked from the ram, and [³bread ¹one ²unleavened] from the bin, and [³pancake ²unleavened ¹one]; and he shall place them upon the hands of the one making a vow, after his shaving of his head. 20 And [³shall offer ⁴them ¹the ²priest] as an increase offering before the lord; it shall be a holy portion to the priest beside the breast of the increase offering, and beside the shoulder of the cut-away portion offering. And after this [³shall drink ¹the ²one making a vow] wine. 21 This is the law of the one making a vow; who ever should make a vow to the lord of his gift to the lord, concerning the vow, separate from what ever [²should find ¹his hand] according to ability of his vow, of what ever he should have vowed according to the law of his purity. 22 And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23 Speak to Aaron and his sons! saying, Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel, saying to them, 24 May [²bless ³you ¹The lord], and keep you. 25 May the lord shine his face upon you, and show mercy on you. 26 May the lord lift up his face upon you, and give you peace. 27 And they shall place my name upon the sons of Israel, and I will bless them.
