Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:4 - All the time he is separate he may take nothing made from the grape-vine, from its seeds to its skin.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:6 - All the time he is separate he may not come near any dead body.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:7 - He may not make himself unclean for his father or his mother, his sister or his brother, if death comes to them; because he is under an oath to keep himself separate for God.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:8 - All the time he is separate he is holy to the Lord.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:11 - And the priest will give one for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering to take away the sin which came on him on account of the dead, and he will make his head holy that same day.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:12 - And he will give to the Lord his days of being separate, offering a he-lamb of the first year as an offering for error: but the earlier days will be a loss, because he became unclean.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:14 - And make his offering to the Lord; one he-lamb of the first year, without a mark, for a burned offering, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, for a sin-offering, and one male sheep, without a mark, for peace-offerings,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:15 - And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil, with their meal offering and drink offerings.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:16 - And the priest will take them before the Lord, and make his sin-offering and his burned offering;
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:17 - Giving the sheep of the peace-offerings, with the basket of unleavened bread; and at the same time, the priest will make his meal offering and his drink offering.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:18 - Then let his long hair, the sign of his oath, be cut off at the door of the Tent of meeting, and let him put it on the fire on which the peace-offerings are burning.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:19 - And the priest will take the cooked leg of the sheep and one unleavened cake and one thin cake out of the basket, and put them on the hands of the separate one after his hair has been cut,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:20 - Waving them for a wave offering before the Lord; this is holy for the priest, together with the waved breast and the leg which is lifted up; after that, the man may take wine.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:21 - This is the law for him who takes an oath to keep himself separate, and for his offering to the Lord on that account, in addition to what he may be able to get; this is the law of his oath, which he will have to keep.
