CHAPTER 6

if defiled must shave their heads—The Lord reveals blessings to be used
by Aaron and his sons in blessing Israel.

1 AND the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say
unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a
avow of a bNazarite, to separate
themselves unto the LORD:
3 He shall separate himself from
awine and bstrong
cdrink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of
strong drink, neither shall he drink any dliquor of grapes,
nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
4 All the days of his separation shall he eat
nothing that is made of the avine tree, from the kernels
even to the husk.

5 All the days of the vow of his separation
there shall no arazor 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.
6 All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.
7 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.
8 All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.

9 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 aseventh day shall he
shave it.
10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two
turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the
atabernacle of the congregation:
11 And the priest shall offer the one for a
sin aoffering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make
an atonement for him, for that he sinned by bthe dead, and
shall hallow his head that same day.
12 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.

13 ¶ And this is the law of the
Nazarite, when the days of his separation are afulfilled:
he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
14 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 aofferings,
15 And a basket of
aunleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil,
and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their
bmeat offering, and their drink offerings.
|
|
|
16 And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
17 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.
18 And the Nazarite shall
ashave the head of his bseparation
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.
|
|
|
19 And the priest shall take the
asodden 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:
20 And the priest shall wave them for a
wave offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with
athe wave breast and bheave shoulder: and
after that the Nazarite may drink wine.
21 This is the law of the Nazarite who
hath vowed, and of his offering unto the LORD for his
aseparation, beside bthat that his
hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the
law of his separation.

22 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying,
On this wise ye shall abless the children of Israel, saying
unto them,
24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The LORD make his face
ashine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee,
and give thee apeace.

27 And they shall put my
aname upon the children of
Israela; and I will bless them.
|
27a they shall put my name upon the
children of Isreal This putting the 'Name of the Lord' upon the
children of Isreal is equivalent to taking upon ourselves the 'Name of the
Lord' today. Today we take upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ,
Jehosuha the Messiah, in becoming 'His children'. That Jesus is the Greek of
Jehosuha or Jehovah Deliver and that Christ is the Greek of Messiah or the
anoited of one, and that they are the same person; and thus in either case
we have taken upon ourselves the 'Name of the Lord' in recognition of we
being his, even his children unto salvation. We put his name upon us today
through our baptism, and we continue to renew that covenant in the sacrament
wherein we take his name upon us, 'that they do take his name upon them', and
thus signifying that we are the Sons of God, even the Sons of Jesus Christ
who is Jehovah.
