Numbers 6:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 While they are under the nazirite vow, no razor shall touch their hair.(A) Until the period of their dedication to the Lord is over, they shall be holy, letting the hair of their heads grow freely. 6 As long as they are dedicated to the Lord, they shall not come near a dead person.(B) 7 Not even for their father or mother, sister or brother, should they defile themselves, when these die, since their heads bear their dedication to God.
