Numbers 6:10-12

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ On the eighth day they shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the tent of meeting, ¹¹ and the priest shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and make atonement for them, because they incurred guilt by reason of the corpse. They shall sanctify the head that same day, ¹² and separate themselves to the Lord for their days as nazirites,^[a] and bring a male lamb a year old as a guilt offering. The former time shall be void, because the consecrated head was defiled.
