1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,2“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When either a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite,[1] to separate himself to the Lord, (Jud 13:5; Ac 21:23; Ro 1:1)3he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar made from wine or strong drink and shall not drink any juice of grapes or eat grapes, fresh or dried. (Am 2:12; Lu 1:15)4All the days of his separation[2] he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, not even the seeds or the skins.5“All the days of his vow of separation, no razor shall touch his head. Until the time is completed for which he separates himself to the Lord, he shall be holy. He shall let the locks of hair of his head grow long. (Jud 13:5; Jud 16:17; 1Sa 1:11; Eze 44:20; 1Co 11:14)6“All the days that he separates himself to the Lord he shall not go near a dead body. (Le 21:11; Nu 19:11; Nu 19:16)7Not even for his father or for his mother, for brother or sister, if they die, shall he make himself unclean, because his separation to God is on his head. (Le 21:1; Le 21:11)8All the days of his separation he is holy to the Lord.9“And if any man dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it. (Ac 18:18; Ac 21:24)10On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two pigeons to the priest to the entrance of the tent of meeting, (Le 5:7; Le 14:22; Le 15:14; Le 15:29)11and the priest shall offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead body. And he shall consecrate his head that same day12and separate himself to the Lord for the days of his separation and bring a male lamb a year old for a guilt offering. But the previous period shall be void, because his separation was defiled. (Le 5:6)13“And this is the law for the Nazirite, when the time of his separation has been completed: he shall be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting, (Ac 21:26)14and he shall bring his gift to the Lord, one male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish as a sin offering, and one ram without blemish as a peace offering, (Le 3:6; Le 4:32)15and a basket of unleavened bread, loaves of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers smeared with oil, and their grain offering and their drink offerings. (Ex 29:2; Ex 29:41; Le 2:4; Nu 15:5; Nu 15:7; Nu 15:10)16And the priest shall bring them before the Lord and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering, (Nu 6:14)17and he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of peace offering to the Lord, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer also its grain offering and its drink offering.18And the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head at the entrance of the tent of meeting and shall take the hair from his consecrated head and put it on the fire that is under the sacrifice of the peace offering. (Ac 18:18; Ac 21:24)19And the priest shall take the shoulder of the ram, when it is boiled, and one unleavened loaf out of the basket and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the hair of his consecration, (Ex 29:23; 1Sa 2:15)20and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord. They are a holy portion for the priest, together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is contributed. And after that the Nazirite may drink wine. (Ex 29:27; Nu 5:25)21“This is the law of the Nazirite. But if he vows an offering to the Lord above his Nazirite vow, as he can afford, in exact accordance with the vow that he takes, then he shall do in addition to the law of the Nazirite.”
Aaron’s Blessing
22The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,23“Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them, (Le 9:22; De 21:5; 1Ch 23:13)24The Lord bless you and keep you; (Ps 121:3; Ps 134:3)25the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; (Ps 31:16; Ps 67:1; Ps 80:3; Ps 80:7; Ps 80:19; Ps 119:135; Da 9:17)26the Lord lift up his countenance[3] upon you and give you peace. (Ps 4:6)27“So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.” (De 28:10; 2Ch 7:14; Da 9:18)
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 symbolises 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 offering[1] 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 symbolises 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 symbolises 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 fulfil 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 towards you and give you peace.’ ”27‘So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.’
1The LORD said to Moses,2‘Say to the Israelites, “Suppose a man or woman wants to make a special promise. They want to set themselves apart to the LORD for a certain period of time. They want to be Nazirites.3Then they must not drink any kind of wine. They must not drink vinegar made out of wine of any kind. They must not drink grape juice. They must not eat grapes or raisins.4As long as they are Nazirites, they must not eat anything grapevines produce. They must not even eat the seeds or skins of grapes.5‘ “They must not use razors on their heads. They must not cut their hair during the whole time they have set themselves apart to the LORD. They must be holy until that time is over. They must let the hair on their heads grow long.6‘ “And they must not go near a dead body during that whole time.7But what if their father or mother dies? Or what if their brother or sister dies? Then they must not make themselves ‘unclean’ because of them. The hair on their heads shows they are set apart for God.8During the whole time they are set apart they are holy to the LORD.9‘ “Suppose someone dies suddenly in front of them. That makes the hair they have set apart to the LORD ‘unclean’. So they must shave their heads on the day they will be made ‘clean’. That is the seventh day.10Then on the eighth day they must bring two doves. Or they can bring two young pigeons. They must bring them to the priest. He will be at the entrance to the tent of meeting.11The priest must offer one of the birds as a sin offering. And he must offer the other as a burnt offering. The sacrifices will pay for the sin of the Nazirite man or woman. They sinned by being near a dead body. That same day they must make their heads holy again.12They must set themselves apart to the LORD again. They must do it for the same period of time they had agreed to at first. And they must bring a male lamb a year old as a guilt offering. The days before that do not count. That is because they became ‘unclean’ during the time they were set apart.13‘ “The time when the Nazirites are set apart will come to an end. Here is the law that applies to them at that time. They must be brought to the entrance to the tent of meeting.14There they must present their offerings to the LORD. They must bring a male lamb a year old. It must not have any flaws. It is for a burnt offering. Then they must bring a female lamb a year old. It must not have any flaws. It is for a sin offering. And they must bring a ram that does not have any flaws. It is for a friendship offering.15They must sacrifice the offerings together with their grain offerings and drink offerings. And they must also bring a basket of bread made with the finest flour. The bread must be made without yeast. The offering must include thick loaves with olive oil mixed in. And it must also include thin loaves brushed with olive oil.16‘ “The priest must bring all these things to the LORD. He must sacrifice the sin offering and the burnt offering.17He must bring the basket of bread made without yeast. And he must sacrifice the ram. It will be a friendship offering to the LORD. The priest must bring it together with its grain offering and drink offering.18‘ “Then the Nazirites must shave off the hair that shows they have set themselves apart to the LORD. They must do it at the entrance to the tent of meeting. And they must put the hair in the fire that burns the sacrifice of the friendship offering.19‘ “After the Nazirites have shaved off their hair, the priest must take a boiled shoulder of the ram. He must remove one thick loaf and one thin loaf from the basket. They must be made without yeast. And he must place the shoulder and the bread in the hands of the Nazirites.20Then he must lift up the shoulder and bread and wave them in front of the LORD. They are a wave offering. They are holy and belong to the priest. Other parts of the ram belong to the priest as well. They are the breast that was waved and the thigh that was offered. After the offering is waved, the Nazirites may drink wine.21‘ “This is the law of the Nazirites. They promise to sacrifice offerings to the LORD. They do it when they set themselves apart. And they should bring anything else they can afford. They must fulfil the promises they have made. They must do so according to the law of the Nazirites.” ’
How the priests bless the people
22The LORD spoke to Moses. He said,23‘Tell Aaron and his sons, “Here is how I want you to bless the Israelites. Say to them,24‘ “ ‘May the LORD bless you and take good care of you.25May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you.26May the LORD look on you with favour and give you peace.’ ”27‘In that way they will put the blessing of my name on the Israelites. And I will bless them.’
Numbers 6
King James Version
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:3He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.4All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.5All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.6All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.7He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head.8All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.9And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.10And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:11And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.12And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.13And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:14And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,15And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.16And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:17And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering.18And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.19And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven:20And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.21This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.22And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,23Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,24The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:25The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:26The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.27And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
1Der HERR sprach zu Mose:[1]2Rede zu den Israeliten und sag zu ihnen: Wenn ein Mann oder eine Frau etwas Besonderes tun will und das Nasiräergelübde ablegt, sodass sie dem HERRN geweiht sind, (Jud 13:4; Jud 16:17; 1Sa 1:11; Lu 1:15)3dann sollen sie auf Wein und Bier verzichten; sie sollen keinen gegorenen Wein und kein gegorenes Bier trinken, auch keinen Traubensaft, sie sollen weder frische noch getrocknete Trauben essen. (Le 10:9; Eze 44:21; Am 2:11)4Solange sie Nasiräer sind, sollen sie nichts essen, was von Weinreben stammt, von den unreifen Trauben angefangen bis zu den Trebern.5Solange das Nasiräergelübde in Kraft ist, soll auch kein Schermesser ihr Haupt berühren, bis die Zeit abgelaufen ist, für die sie sich dem HERRN als Nasiräer geweiht haben. Sie sind heilig, sie müssen ihr Haar ganz frei wachsen lassen. (Le 21:5; Eze 44:21)6Solange sie sich dem HERRN als Nasiräer geweiht haben, sollen sie auch nicht in die Nähe eines Toten kommen. (Le 21:1; Nu 5:2; Nu 19:11)7Nicht einmal an Vater oder Mutter, an Bruder oder Schwester sollen sie sich verunreinigen, wenn sie sterben; denn sie tragen die Weihe ihres Gottes auf ihrem Haupt. (Le 21:11)8Solange sie Nasiräer sind, sind sie dem HERRN heilig.9Wenn aber jemand in ihrer Nähe ganz plötzlich stirbt und sie dabei ihr geweihtes Haupt unrein machen, dann sollen sie ihr Haar an dem Tag abschneiden, an dem sie wieder rein werden: Am siebten Tag sollen sie ihr Haar abschneiden10und am achten Tag sollen sie zwei Turteltauben oder zwei junge Tauben zum Priester an den Eingang des Offenbarungszeltes bringen.11Der Priester richtet die eine zum Sündopfer, die andere zum Brandopfer her und erwirkt Sühne für die Person, die an der Leiche eine Sünde auf sich geladen hat; am selben Tag erklärt der Priester ihr Haupt wieder für heilig.12Sie soll sich dann dem HERRN für die Zeit, für die sie sich als Nasiräer verpflichtet hatte, von Neuem weihen und ein einjähriges Lamm als Schuldopfer darbringen. Die schon abgeleistete Zeit aber ist verfallen, da das Geweihte unrein geworden ist.13Das ist die Nasiräerweisung: Am Tag, an dem die Zeit der Nasiräerweihe abgelaufen ist, soll man die Person zum Eingang des Offenbarungszeltes führen. (Ac 21:23)14Sie soll ihre Opfergabe für den HERRN darbringen: ein fehlerloses einjähriges männliches Lamm als Brandopfer, ein fehlerloses einjähriges weibliches Lamm als Sühnopfer, einen fehlerlosen Widder als Heilsopfer,15ferner einen Korb voll ungesäuerter Kuchen aus Weizenfeinmehl, das mit Öl vermengt ist, sowie voll ungesäuerter Brotfladen, die mit Öl bestrichen sind, ferner das dazugehörende Speiseopfer und die dazugehörenden Trankopfer.16Der Priester bringt alles vor dem HERRN dar und richtet für die betreffende Person das Sündopfer und das Brandopfer her.17Auch richtet er den Widder für das Heilsopfer für den HERRN her, zusammen mit dem Korb voll ungesäuertem Gebäck; dann richtet der Priester für die betreffende Person das Speiseopfer und das Trankopfer her.18Die Nasiräer schneiden am Eingang des Offenbarungszeltes ihr geweihtes Haupthaar ab, nehmen das geweihte Haar und werfen es in das Feuer, das unter dem Heilsopfer brennt. (Ac 18:18)19Nachdem sie sich das Nasiräerhaar abgeschnitten haben, nimmt der Priester den gekochten Vorderschenkel des Widders, einen ungesäuerten Kuchen aus dem Korb und einen ungesäuerten Brotfladen und legt es den Nasiräern auf die Hände.20Dann erhebt sie der Priester vor dem HERRN als Erhebungsopfer. Das ist eine heilige Gabe für den Priester, zusätzlich zur Widderbrust des Erhebungsopfers und zur Schenkelkeule des Hebeopfers. Danach dürfen die Nasiräer wieder Wein trinken. (Ex 29:27; Le 7:34; Nu 5:9; Nu 18:8)21Das ist die Nasiräerweisung für die, welche aufgrund ihres Weihegelübdes dem HERRN eine Opfergabe gelobt haben, abgesehen von dem, was sie sonst noch leisten können. Wie es den Worten des Gelübdes entspricht, das sie abgelegt haben, so müssen sie handeln, nach der Weisung ihrer Weihe.
Priestersegen
22Der HERR sprach zu Mose:23Sag zu Aaron und seinen Söhnen: So sollt ihr die Israeliten segnen; sprecht zu ihnen: (Le 9:22; 1Ch 23:13)24Der HERR segne dich und behüte dich. (Ps 121:7)25Der HERR lasse sein Angesicht über dich leuchten und sei dir gnädig. (Ex 34:6; Ps 4:7)26Der HERR wende sein Angesicht dir zu und schenke dir Frieden. (Isa 26:3)27So sollen sie meinen Namen auf die Israeliten legen und ich werde sie segnen. (Ex 20:24)
