اَلْعَدَد 6

١ 1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

The Lord told Moses,

٢ 2 «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: إِذَا ٱنْفَرَزَ رَجُلٌ أَوِ ٱمْرَأَةٌ لِيَنْذُرَ نَذْرَ ٱلنَّذِيرِ، لِيَنْتَذِرَ لِلرَّبِّ،

“Tell the Israelites: If a man or a woman makes a special promise to become a Nazirite, to dedicate themselves to the Lord,

٣ 3 فَعَنِ ٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلْمُسْكِرِ يَفْتَرِزُ، وَلَا يَشْرَبْ خَلَّ ٱلْخَمْرِ وَلَا خَلَّ ٱلْمُسْكِرِ، وَلَا يَشْرَبْ مِنْ نَقِيعِ ٱلْعِنَبِ، وَلَا يَأْكُلْ عِنَبًا رَطْبًا وَلَا يَابِسًا.

they must not drink any wine or other alcoholic drink. They must not even drink vinegar made from wine or other alcoholic drink, or any grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.

٤ 4 كُلَّ أَيَّامِ نَذْرِهِ لَا يَأْكُلْ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا يُعْمَلُ مِنْ جَفْنَةِ ٱلْخَمْرِ مِنَ ٱلْعَجَمِ حَتَّى ٱلْقِشْرِ.

The whole time they are dedicated to the Lord they must not eat anything from a grapevine, not even grape seeds or skins.

٥ 5 كُلَّ أَيَّامِ نَذْرِ ٱفْتِرَازِهِ لَا يَمُرُّ مُوسَى عَلَى رَأْسِهِ. إِلَى كَمَالِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي ٱنْتَذَرَ فِيهَا لِلرَّبِّ يَكُونُ مُقَدَّسًا، وَيُرَبِّي خُصَلَ شَعْرِ رَأْسِهِ.

They must not use a razor on their heads during the whole time of this promise of dedication. They must remain holy until their time of dedication to the Lord is finished. They must let their hair grow long.

٦ 6 كُلَّ أَيَّامِ ٱنْتِذَارِهِ لِلرَّبِّ لَا يَأْتِي إِلَى جَسَدِ مَيْتٍ.

During this time of dedication to the Lord they must not go near a dead body.

٧ 7 أَبُوهُ وَأُمُّهُ وَأَخُوهُ وَأُخْتُهُ لَا يَتَنَجَّسْ مِنْ أَجْلِهِمْ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱنْتِذَارَ إِلَهِهِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ.

Even if it's their father, mother, brother or sister who has died, they are not to make themselves unclean, because their uncut hair announces their dedication to God.

٨ 8 إِنَّهُ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ ٱنْتِذَارِهِ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ.

Through the whole time of their dedication they are to be holy to the Lord.

٩ 9 وَإِذَا مَاتَ مَيْتٌ عِنْدَهُ بَغْتَةً عَلَى فَجْأَةٍ فَنَجَّسَ رَأْسَ ٱنْتِذَارِهِ، يَحْلِقُ رَأْسَهُ يَوْمَ طُهْرِهِ. فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ يَحْلِقُهُ.

However, if someone dies suddenly close to them, making them unclean, they must wait seven days, and on the seventh day when they are made clean again they are to shave their heads.

١٠ 10 وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِنِ يَأْتِي بِيَمَامَتَيْنِ أَوْ بِفَرْخَيْ حَمَامٍ إِلَى ٱلْكَاهِنِ إِلَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ،

On the eighth day they shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

١١ 11 فَيَعْمَلُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَاحِدًا ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ، وَٱلْآخَرَ مُحْرَقَةً وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنْهُ مَا أَخْطَأَ بِسَبَبِ ٱلْمَيْتِ، وَيُقَدِّسُ رَأْسَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.

The priest will offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make them right, because they became guilty by being near the dead body. On that day they must re-dedicate themselves and let their hair grow again.

١٢ 12 فَمَتَى نَذَرَ لِلرَّبِّ أَيَّامَ ٱنْتِذَارِهِ يَأْتِي بِخَرُوفٍ حَوْلِيٍّ ذَبِيحَةَ إِثْمٍ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْأَيَّامُ ٱلْأُولَى فَتَسْقُطُ لِأَنَّهُ نَجَّسَ ٱنْتِذَارَهُ.

They must re-dedicate themselves to the Lord for the full time they originally promised and bring a one-year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days don't count towards the time of dedication because they became unclean.

١٣ 13 «وَهَذِهِ شَرِيعَةُ ٱلنَّذِيرِ: يَوْمَ تَكْمُلُ أَيَّامُ ٱنْتِذَارِهِ يُؤْتَى بِهِ إِلَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ،

These are the rules to be observed when the Nazirite's time of dedication is finished. They are to be taken to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

١٤ 14 فَيُقَرِّبُ قُرْبَانَهُ لِلرَّبِّ خَرُوفًا وَاحِدًا حَوْلِيًّا صَحِيحًا مُحْرَقَةً، وَنَعْجَةً وَاحِدَةً حَوْلِيَّةً صَحِيحَةً ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ، وَكَبْشًا وَاحِدًا صَحِيحًا ذَبِيحَةَ سَلَامَةٍ،

There they are to present an offering to the Lord of a one-year-old male lamb without defects as a burnt offering, a one-year-old female lamb without defects as a sin offering, and ram without defects as a peace offering.

١٥ 15 وَسَلَّ فَطِيرٍ مِنْ دَقِيقٍ أَقْرَاصًا مَلْتُوتَةً بِزَيْتٍ، وَرِقَاقَ فَطِيرٍ مَدْهُونَةً بِزَيْتٍ مَعَ تَقْدِمَتِهَا وَسَكَائِبِهَا.

In addition they are to bring a basket of bread without yeast made from the best flour mixed with olive oil and wafers without yeast coated with olive oil as well as their grain offerings and drink offerings.

١٦ 16 فَيُقَدِّمُهَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ وَيَعْمَلُ ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّتِهِ وَمُحْرَقَتَهُ.

The priest will present all these before the Lord as well as sacrificing the sin offering and the burnt offering.

١٧ 17 وَٱلْكَبْشُ يَعْمَلُهُ ذَبِيحَةَ سَلَامَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ مَعَ سَلِّ ٱلْفَطِيرِ، وَيَعْمَلُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ تَقْدِمَتَهُ وَسَكِيبَهُ.

He will also sacrifice a ram as a peace offering to the Lord, together with the basket of bread made without yeast. In addition the priest will present the grain offering and drink offering.

١٨ 18 وَيَحْلِقُ ٱلنَّذِيرُ لَدَى بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ رَأْسَ ٱنْتِذَارِهِ، وَيَأْخُذُ شَعْرَ رَأْسِ ٱنْتِذَارِهِ وَيَجْعَلُهُ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَ ذَبِيحَةِ ٱلسَّلَامَةِ.

Then the Nazirites are to shave their heads at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. They shall take the hair from their heads that were dedicated, and place it on the fire under the peace offering.

١٩ 19 وَيَأْخُذُ ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلسَّاعِدَ مَسْلُوقًا مِنَ ٱلْكَبْشِ، وَقُرْصَ فَطِيرٍ وَاحِدًا مِنَ ٱلسَّلِّ، وَرُقَاقَةَ فَطِيرٍ وَاحِدَةً، وَيَجْعَلُهَا فِي يَدَيِ ٱلنَّذِيرِ بَعْدَ حَلْقِهِ شَعْرَ ٱنْتِذَارِهِ،

Once the Nazirites have shaved, the priest will take the boiled shoulder from the ram, one bread without yeast from the basket, and one wafer without yeast, and place them in their hands.

٢٠ 20 وَيُرَدِّدُهَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ تَرْدِيدًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. إِنَّهُ قُدْسٌ لِلْكَاهِنِ مَعَ صَدْرِ ٱلتَّرْدِيدِ وَسَاقِ ٱلرَّفِيعَةِ. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَشْرَبُ ٱلنَّذِيرُ خَمْرًا.

The priest will wave them as a wave offering before the Lord. These items are holy and belong to the priest, as well as the breast of the wave offering and the thigh that was offered. Once this is finished, Nazirites may drink wine.

٢١ 21 هَذِهِ شَرِيعَةُ ٱلنَّذِيرِ ٱلَّذِي يَنْذُرُ، قُرْبَانُهُ لِلرَّبِّ عَنِ ٱنْتِذَارِهِ فَضْلًا عَمَّا تَنَالُ يَدُهُ. حَسَبَ نَذْرِهِ ٱلَّذِي نَذَرَ كَذَلِكَ يَعْمَلُ حَسَبَ شَرِيعَةِ ٱنْتِذَارِهِ».

These are the rules to be observed when a Nazirite promises to give offerings to the Lord regarding their dedication. They can also bring additional offerings if they can afford it. Every Nazirite must fulfill whatever promises they have made when they dedicated themselves.”

٢٢ 22 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:

The Lord told Moses,

٢٣ 23 «كَلِّمْ هَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ قَائِلًا: هَكَذَا تُبَارِكُونَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلِينَ لَهُمْ:

“Tell Aaron and his sons: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. This is what they are to say:

٢٤ 24 يُبَارِكُكَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَيَحْرُسُكَ.

‘May the Lord bless you and take care of you.

٢٥ 25 يُضِيءُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِوَجْهِهِ عَلَيْكَ وَيَرْحَمُكَ.

May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you.

٢٦ 26 يَرْفَعُ ٱلرَّبُّ وَجْهَهُ عَلَيْكَ وَيَمْنَحُكَ سَلَامًا.

May the Lord watch over you and give you peace.’

٢٧ 27 فَيَجْعَلُونَ ٱسْمِي عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَأَنَا أُبَارِكُهُمْ».

Whenever the priests bless the Israelites in my name, I will bless them.”
