"All the time he is under his oath let no blade come near his head; till the days while he is separate are ended he is holy and his hair may not be cut."
— Numbers 6:5, Bible in Basic English
“All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the Lord, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.”
Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman takes an oath to keep himself separate and give himself to the Lord;
He is to keep himself from wine and strong drink, and take no mixed wine or strong drink or any drink made from grapes, or any grapes, green or dry.
All the time he is separate he may take nothing made from the grape-vine, from its seeds to its skin.
All the time he is under his oath let no blade come near his head; till the days while he is separate are ended he is holy and his hair may not be cut.
All the time he is separate he may not come near any dead body.
He may not make himself unclean for his father or his mother, his sister or his brother, if death comes to them; because he is under an oath to keep himself separate for God.
All the time he is separate he is holy to the Lord.
