'But if someone dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles his consecrated head of hair, then ^(C1)he shall shave his head on the day when he becomes clean; ^(C2)he shall shave it on the seventh day.

'Now this is the law of the Nazirite ^(C1)when the days of his consecration are fulfilled: he shall bring ^(F1)his offering to the entrance of the tent of meeting.

'And he shall present his offering to the LORD: one male lamb a year old without defect as a burnt offering, one ^(C1)ewe lamb a year old without defect as a sin offering, one ram without defect as a peace offering,

and a basket of ^(C1)unleavened loaves of fine flour mixed with oil and unleavened wafers spread with oil, along with ^(C2)their grain offering and their drink offering.

'Then the priest shall present them before the LORD and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering.

'He shall also offer the ram as a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, together with the basket of unleavened bread; the priest shall also offer its grain offering and its drink offering.

'^(C1)The Nazirite shall then shave his consecrated head of hair at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and take the consecrated hair of his head and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace offerings.

'^(C1)And the priest shall take the ram's shoulder when it has been boiled, and one unleavened loaf from the basket and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the ^(F1)hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his consecrated hair.

'Then the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before the LORD. It is holy for the priest, together with the breast offered as a wave offering, and the thigh offered as ^(F1)a contribution; and ^(C1)afterward the Nazirite may drink wine.'
