Numbers 6:19-21
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
19 The priest shall take the shoulder of the ram, when it is boiled, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them in the palms of the nazirites,[a] after they have shaved the consecrated head. 20 Then the priest shall elevate them as an elevation-offering before the Lord; they are a holy portion for the priest, together with the breast that is elevated and the thigh that is offered. After that the nazirites[b] may drink wine.
21 This is the law for the nazirites[c] who take a vow. Their offering to the Lord must be in accordance with the nazirite[d] vow, apart from what else they can afford. In accordance with whatever vow they take, so they shall do, following the law for their consecration.
