CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Numbers 6

Numbers 6 gives the law of the Nazirite and closes with the priestly blessing. A man or woman may voluntarily separate unto the LORD for a period, abstaining from products of the vine, leaving the hair uncut, and avoiding corpse defilement. If accidental defilement occurs, the period must be restarted according to the prescribed offerings. When the vow is completed, sacrifices are offered and the hair is shaved. The chapter then gives Aaron and his sons the well-known blessing invoking the LORD’s blessing, keeping, grace, peace, and name upon Israel.
