Numbers 6:6-12

New American Standard Bible

⁶ ‘^(A)All the days of his life as a Nazirite for the Lord he shall not come up to a dead person. ⁷ He ^(B)shall not make himself unclean for his father or for his mother, for his brother or for his sister, when they die, because his consecration to God is ^[a]on his head. ⁸ All the days of his consecration he is holy to the Lord.

⁹ ‘But if someone dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles his consecrated head of hair, then ^(C)he shall shave his head on the day when he becomes clean; ^(D)he shall shave it on the seventh day. ¹⁰ Then on the eighth day he shall bring ^(E)two turtledoves or two young doves to the priest, to the entrance of the tent of meeting. ¹¹ And the priest shall offer ^(F)one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and make atonement for him ^[b]regarding his sin because of the dead person. And on that same day he shall consecrate his head, ¹² and shall live his days of consecration as a Nazirite for the Lord, and shall bring a male lamb a year old as a guilt offering; but the preceding days will ^[c]not count, because his consecration was defiled.
