Numbers 6:6-12
Christian Standard Bible
6 He must not go near a dead body during the time he consecrates himself to the Lord.(A) 7 He is not to defile himself for his father or mother, or his brother or sister, when they die, while the mark of consecration to his God is on his head. 8 He is holy to the Lord(B) during the time of consecration.
9 “If someone suddenly dies near him, defiling his consecrated head, he must shave his head on the day of his purification; he is to shave it on the seventh day.(C) 10 On the eighth day he is to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting.(D) 11 The priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering(E) to make atonement on behalf of the Nazirite, since he incurred guilt because of the corpse. On that day he is to consecrate his head again.(F) 12 He is to rededicate his time of consecration to the Lord and to bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering.(G) But do not count the initial period of consecration because it became defiled.
