Numbers Chapter 6
So the Lord was like, "Yo Moses, peep this."
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Hit up the squad of Israel, "If anyone's looking to vibe as a Nazarite and rep the Lord, do your thing."
Speak 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: {to separate...: or, to make themselves Nazarites}
They gotta steer clear of wine and hard drinks, no cap—no vinegar or grape juice either, just chill vibes.
He 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.
Throughout their journey, no vine stuff allowed, from seeds to skins, just straight up.
All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk. {separation: or, Nazariteship} {vine...: Heb. vine of the wine}
No razors can touch their heads during this mission; they’re letting their hair grow out, fr.
All 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.
While they’re vibing with the Lord, no messing with dead bodies, that's just sus.
All the days that he separateth {himself} unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.
They can’t get dirty for their fam when someone passes away, ’cause they’re dedicated to God, periodt.
He 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. {consecration: Heb. separation}
For all the days they’re set apart, they’re holy to the Lord, no doubt.
All the days of his separation he {is} holy unto the LORD.
If someone kicks the bucket suddenly nearby and messes with their holy vibes, they gotta shave their head on cleansing day, which is the seventh day.
And 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.
On day eight, they roll in with two turtles or two young pigeons to the priest at the tabernacle entrance, that’s the deal.
And 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:
The priest will offer one for sin and another for burn vibes, making it right since he got involved with the dead, plus he’s gotta bless his head that day.
And 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.
He’s gonna set apart some days for the Lord and bring a lit lamb for a trespass offering, but the days before are a no-go 'cause their separation got sus.
And 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. {be lost: Heb. fall}
Here’s the Nazarite law: when their separation days are up, they roll up to the tabernacle entrance.
And 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:
They’re bringing a perfect first-year lamb for a burn offering, another flawless ewe lamb for a sin offering, and a perfect ram for peace offerings, all goated.
And 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,
Along with a basket of unleavened bread, cakes mixed with oil, and wafers anointed with oil, plus their meat and drink offerings, all bussin.
And 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.
The priest is bringing them before the Lord and offering his sin and burn vibes.
And the priest shall bring {them} before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
He’s offering the ram for peace vibes to the Lord with that basket of unleavened bread; the priest’s also doing his meat and drink offerings.
And 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.
The Nazarite’s gonna shave his head at the tabernacle door, taking the hair and tossing it in the fire under the peace offerings.
And 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.
The priest’s taking the cooked shoulder of the ram, one unleavened cake, and one wafer, putting them in the Nazarite's hands after the shave.
And 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:
The priest’s gonna wave them as a wave offering before the Lord: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder; after that, the Nazarite can sip some wine.
And 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.
This is the rule for the dedicated Nazarite, and what he’s offering to the Lord for his glow-up, based on what he can hustle: he’s gotta stick to the vibe of his promise.
This {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.
Then the Lord hit up Moses, saying,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Tell Aaron and his crew, this is how you should bless the kids of Israel, saying to them,
Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
The Lord bless you, and keep you lit:
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
The Lord make His face shine on you, and be all kinds of gracious to you:
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The Lord lift you up, and give you that peace vibe.
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
And they’ll put my name on the kids of Israel; and I’ll bless them, no cap.
And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
