Numbers 6:2-8

King James Version

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.

Svenska 1917

²Tala till Israels barn och säg till dem: Om någon, vare sig man eller kvinna, har att fullgöra ett nasirlöfte, ett löfte att vara HERRENS nasir,

³så skall han avhålla sig från vin och starka drycker; han skall icke dricka någon syrad dryck av vin eller någon annan syrad stark dryck; intet slags druvsaft skall han dricka, ej heller skall han äta druvor, vare sig friska eller torra.

⁴Så länge hans nasirtid varar, skall han icke äta något som kommer av vinträdet, icke ens dess kartar eller späda skott.

⁵Så länge hans nasirlöfte varar, skall ingen rakkniv komma på hans huvud; till dess att den tid är ute, under vilken han skall vara HERRENS nasir, skall han vara helig och låte håret växa långt på sitt huvud.

⁶Så länge han är HERRENS nasir, skall han icke nalkas någon död.

⁷Icke ens genom sin fader eller sin moder, sin broder eller sin syster får han ådraga sig orenhet, om de dö ty han bär på sitt huvud tecknet till att han är sin Guds nasir;

⁸så länge hans nasirtid varar, är han helgad åt HERREN.

Numbers 6:2-8

New International Version

²“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man or woman wants to make a special vow^(A), a vow of dedication^(B) to the Lord as a Nazirite,^(C) ³they must abstain from wine^(D) and other fermented drink and must not drink vinegar^(E) made from wine or other fermented drink. They must not drink grape juice or eat grapes^(F) 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^(G) may be used on their head.^(H) 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.^(I) ⁷Even if their own father or mother or brother or sister dies, they must not make themselves ceremonially unclean^(J) 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.
