Numbers 6:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵ “The whole time of their Nazirite vow they must not cut their hair. They must be holy until this time of special dedication to the Lord is ended. They must let their hair grow long.

⁶ “If you have taken the Nazirite vow, you must not go near someone who is dying^[a] during that special time of dedication. You have given yourself fully to the Lord, ⁷ so you must not let yourself become unclean like this—even for your own father or mother, brother or sister when they die.^[b] This is because you have the hair that you dedicated to God on your head!
