Biblical Studies Press, 2005) ### The Nazirite Vow [[#Verse 01.]] Then the Lord spoke to Moses:  [[#Verse 02.]] “Speak to the Israelites, and tell them, ‘When someone—either a man or a woman—takes a special vow, to take a vow as a Nazirite, to separate himself to the Lord,  [[#Verse 03.]] he must separate himself from wine and strong drink; he must drink neither vinegar made from wine nor vinegar made from strong drink, nor may he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or raisins.  [[#Verse 04.]] All the days of his separation he must not eat anything that is produced by the grapevine, from seed to skin. [[#Verse 05.]] “‘All the days of the vow of his separation no razor may be used on his head until the time is fulfilled for which he separated himself to the Lord. He will be holy, and he must let the locks of hair on his head grow long. [[#Verse 06.]] “‘All the days that he separates himself to the Lord he must not contact a dead body.  [[#Verse 07.]] He must not defile himself even for his father or his mother or his brother or his sister if they die, because the separation for his God is on his head.  [[#Verse 08.]] All the days of his separation he must be holy to the Lord. ### Contingencies for Defilement [[#Verse 09.]] “‘If anyone dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles his consecrated head, then he must shave his head on the day of his purification—on the seventh day he must shave it. [[#Verse 10.]] On the eighth day he is to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the entrance to the tent of meeting.  [[#Verse 11.]] Then the priest will offer one for a purification offering and the other as a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because of his transgression in regard to the corpse. So he must reconsecrate his head on that day.  [[#Verse 12.]] He must rededicate to the Lord the days of his separation and bring a male lamb in its first year as a reparation offering, but the former days will not be counted because his separation was defiled. ### Fulfilling the Vows [[#Verse 13.]] “‘Now this is the law of the Nazirite: When the days of his separation are fulfilled, he must be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting,  [[#Verse 14.]] and he must present his offering to the Lord: one male lamb in its first year without blemish for a burnt offering, one ewe lamb in its first year without blemish for a purification offering, one ram without blemish for a peace offering,  [[#Verse 15.]] and a basket of bread made without yeast, cakes of fine flour mixed with olive oil, wafers made without yeast and smeared with olive oil, and their grain offering and their drink offerings. [[#Verse 16.]] “‘Then the priest must present all these before the Lord and offer his purification offering and his burnt offering.  [[#Verse 17.]] Then he must offer the ram as a peace offering to the Lord along with the basket of bread made without yeast; the priest must also offer his grain offering and his drink offering. [[#Verse 18.]] “‘Then the Nazirite must shave his consecrated head at the entrance to the tent of meeting and must take the hair from his consecrated head and put it on the fire where the peace offering is burning.  [[#Verse 19.]] And the priest must take the boiled shoulder of the ram, one cake made without yeast from the basket, and one wafer made without yeast, and put them on the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his consecrated head;  [[#Verse 20.]] then the priest must wave them as a wave offering before the Lord; it is a holy portion for the priest, together with the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the raised offering. After this the Nazirite may drink wine. [[#Verse 21.]] “‘This is the law of the Nazirite who vows to the Lord his offering according to his separation, as well as whatever else he can provide. Thus he must fulfill his vow that he makes, according to the law of his separation.’” ### The Priestly Benediction [[#Verse 22.]]  The Lord spoke to Moses:  [[#Verse 23.]] “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is the way you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them: [[#Verse 24.]] “The Lord bless you and protect you; [[#Verse 25.]] The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; [[#Verse 26.]] The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.”’ [[#Verse 27.]] “So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.” ## ==📖 Verse-by-Verse Commentary== ###### Overall. ###### Verse 01. ###### Verse 02. ###### Verse 03. ###### Verse 04. ###### Verse 05. ###### Verse 06. ###### Verse 07. ###### Verse 08. ###### Verse 09. ###### Verse 10. ###### Verse 11. ###### Verse 12. ###### Verse 13. ###### Verse 14. ###### Verse 15. ###### Verse 16. ###### Verse 17. ###### Verse 18. ###### Verse 19. ###### Verse 20. ###### Verse 21. ###### Verse 22. ###### Verse 23. ###### Verse 24. ###### Verse 25. ###### Verse 26. ###### Verse 27. ## 🤔 Interesting Facts / Historical and Cultural Insights - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write down things that are not straight from commentary but interesting facts that ground the text in history. %% ## 🧠 Chapter Summary - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) summarizing what happens in this chapter. - What is the main event or teaching? - How does this chapter fit the book’s overall story? - What stands out immediately?
