Numbers 6:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ During ·their special time of belonging [the time of their vow] to the Lord, Nazirites must not go near a dead body. ⁷ Even if their own father, mother, brother, or sister dies, they must not ·touch them, or they will become unclean [^Ldefile themselves; ^Cin a ritual sense]. ·They must still keep their promise to belong to God in a special way [^LThe consecration/separation to God is on their head]. ⁸ While they are Nazirites, they ·belong to the Lord in a special way [^Lare holy to the Lord].
