Numbers 6:9

Verse 9 of 27. The 6th of 36 chapters in Numbers, in The Law.

5“‘All the days of his vow of separation no razor shall come on his head, until the days are fulfilled in which he separates himself to the LORD. He shall be holy. He shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.

8All the days of his separation he is holy to the LORD.

9“‘If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles the head of his separation, then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it.

10On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting.

13“‘This is the law of the Nazirite: when the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the Tent of Meeting,
