Numbers 6 contains the vows taken by Nazarites and the blessing given to priests of Israel to bless people with. It’s a short chapter with no ugly business.

Numbers 6
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them ‘When either a man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves to the LORD:
3 He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes, or dried.
4 All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made of the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins.
5 All the days of the vow of his separation there no razor shall touch his head: until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates himself to the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
6 All the days that he separates himself to the LORD he shall come at no dead body.
7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head.
8 All the days of his separation he is holy to the LORD.
9 If any man die very suddenly by him, and he defiles the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day shall he shave it.
10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting;
11 The priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall consecrate his head that same day.
12 And he shall consecrate to the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
13 This is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought to the door of the tent of meeting:
14 And he shall offer his offering to the LORD, one male lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,
15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their grain offering, and their drink offerings.
16 The priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
17 He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall also offer his grain offering, and his drink offering.
18 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
19 Then the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and put them on the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaved;
20 And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the breast of presentation and shoulder of contribution: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.
21 This is the law of the Nazarite who has taken vows, and of his offering to the LORD for his separation, in addition to whatever else he offers as he can afford, according to the vow which he made, so he must do after the law of his separation.’”
22 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying
23 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons ‘In this way you shall bless the children of Israel, saying to them
24 “The LORD bless you, and keep you.
25 The LORD make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
26 The LORD lift up his face to you, and give you peace.”
27 And they shall put my name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.’”
