1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

2 "Govori Izraelcima i reci im: 'Ako tko, bilo čovjek ili žena, položi nazirejski zavjet te se posveti Jahvi,

3 neka se suzdržava od vina i svakoga opojnog pića. Neka ne pije ni ukiseljena vina niti ukiseljena opojnog pića; a niti kakva soka od grožđa neka ne pije; neka ne jede grožđa, ni svježa ni suha.

4 Sve vrijeme svoga nazireata ne smije jesti ništa što rađa lozov trs - od zelena grožđa do komine.'

5 Sve dok traje njegov nazirejski zavjet, neka britva ne prelazi preko njegove glave; dok se ne navrši vrijeme što ga je Jahvi zavjetovao, neka bude posvećen i pusti kose da mu slobodno rastu na glavi.

6 Za sve vrijeme svoga zavjeta Jahvi neka se ne primiče nikakvu mrtvacu.

7 Neka se ne onečišćuje ni zbog svoga oca, ni zbog svoje majke, svoga brata ili svoje sestre ako bi umrli, jer na svojoj glavi nosi posvećenje svoga Boga.

8 Sve vrijeme svoga nazireata on je posvećen Jahvi.

9 Umre li tko nenadanom smrću pokraj njega, onečistivši tako njegovu posvećenu glavu, neka na dan svoga očišćenja obrije svoju glavu - neka je obrije sedmoga dana.

10 A osmoga dana neka donese svećeniku, na ulazu u Šator sastanka, dvije grlice ili dva golubića.

11 Neka svećenik prinese jedno kao žrtvu okajnicu, a drugo kao žrtvu paljenicu, zatim neka nad njim izvrši obred pomirenja zbog ljage kojom se okaljao uz mrtvaca. Toga dana neka posveti svoju glavu;

12 neka zavjetuje Jahvi dane svoga nazireata; neka donese jednogodišnjeg janjca kao žrtvu naknadnicu. Prijašnje vrijeme neka se ne računa, jer je njegov nazireat bio oskvrnjen.

13 Ovo je obred za nazirejca: na dan kad se navrši vrijeme njegova nazireata, neka ga dovedu na ulaz Šatora sastanka.

14 Kao svoj prinos neka Jahvi donese: jednogodišnjeg janjca bez mane za žrtvu paljenicu; jednogodišnje žensko janje, bez mane, za žrtvu okajnicu; jednoga ovna, bez mane, za žrtvu pričesnicu;

15 nadalje, košaru neukvasanih pogača od najboljeg brašna, u ulju zamiješenih i neukvasanih kolača, namazanih uljem, s njihovim prinosnicama i ljevanicama.

16 Svećenik, pošto to donese pred Jahvu, neka prinese njegovu okajnicu i paljenicu.

17 Zatim neka prinese ovna Jahvi kao žrtvu pričesnicu zajedno s košarom neukvasanih pogača. I njegovu prinosnicu i njegovu ljevanicu neka prinese svećenik.

18 Na ulazu u Šator sastanka neka nazirejac obrije svoju posvećenu glavu i, uzevši uvojke sa svoje posvećene glave, neka ih stavi na vatru što gori pred žrtvom pričesnicom.

19 Zatim neka svećenik uzme kuhano pleće ovna, jednu neukvasanu pogaču iz košare i jedan neukvasani kolač i stavi to na ruke nazirejcu pošto ovaj obrije svoje posvećene kose.

20 Neka to svećenik prinese kao žrtvu prikaznicu pred Jahvom. To je svetinja što pripada svećeniku, osim grudi prikaznice i stegna podizanice. Poslije toga nazirejac može piti vina."

21 Ovo je obred nazirejca, ne računajući ono što bi još mogla prinijeti njegova ruka. Ako je povrh svoga nazireata obećao kakav dar, neka povrh obreda svoga nazireata učini kako je zavjetovao.

22 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

23 "Reci Aronu i njegovim sinovima: 'Ovako blagoslivljajte Izraelce govoreći im:

24 Neka te blagoslovi Jahve i neka te čuva!

25 Neka te Jahve licem svojim obasja, milostiv ti bude!

26 Neka pogled svoj Jahve svrati na te i mir ti donese!' Tako neka stavljaju moje ime nad sinove Izraelove, i ja ću ih blagoslivljati."

6119. 'And why should we die near by you because the silver is lacking?' means that otherwise spiritual death takes place because of the lack of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'dying' as spiritual death, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'the silver lacking' as a lack of truth - 'silver' being factual knowledge that holds truth in it and is appropriate, see 6112. What is implied by the notion that spiritual death takes place when there is a lack of truth is that spiritual life consists in deeds carried out in accordance with truths, consequently in useful services. For people endowed with spiritual life possess a yearning and desire for truths with life in view - that is, their end in view is to lead a life according to those truths - thus with useful services in view. Therefore the extent to which they can absorb truths, in accordance with which useful services are to be rendered, determines how much spiritual life they possess, because it determines how much of the light of intelligence and wisdom they possess. When truths are lacking therefore, as happens when a state of shade arrives - a state meant in the Word by 'evening', 6110 - spiritual life languishes. It languishes because things such as belong to the state of shade, that is, to spiritual death, enter in. When this happens people cannot be kept in the light in which they were before but are returned in part to a state of selfhood. As a consequence there emerges from the shade an image of spiritual death, that is, of damnation.

[2] It is clear from very many places in the Word that 'death' means spiritual death, or damnation; but let simply the following be quoted here: In Isaiah,

With righteousness He will judge the poor, and will reprove with uprightness the wretched of the earth. On the other hand He will smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath 1 of His lips He will make the wicked die. Isaiah 11:4.

This refers to the Lord. 'The rod of His mouth' and 'the breath of His lips stand for Divine Truth, the source of judgement. 'Dying' stands for suffering damnation. In the same prophet, He Will swallow up death for ever, and the Lord Jehovih will wipe away tears from upon all faces. Isaiah 15:8.

In the same prophet,

The dead will not live, the Rephaim will not rise. To that end You have visited them, You have wiped them out. Isaiah 16:14.

In the same prophet,

Your dead will live, my corpse will rise again. Isaiah 26:19.

In the same prophet,

You have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell we have shaped a vision. Your covenant with death will be annulled, and your vision with hell will not stand. Isaiah 28:15, 18.

[3] In Jeremiah,

You look for light, but He will turn it into the shadow of death, He will place it in thick darkness. Jeremiah 13:16.

In Ezekiel,

You have desecrated Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for crusts of bread, to slay souls that ought not to die and to bestow life on souls that ought not to live. Ezekiel 13:19, 22.

In Hosea,

Out of the hand of hell I will redeem them, from death I will deliver them. I will be your plagues, O death; I will be your destruction, O hell! Hosea 13:14.

In David,

You lift me up from the gates of death. Psalms 9:13.

In the same author,

Lighten my eyes, lest perhaps I sleep [the sleep of] death. Psalms 13:3.

In the same author,

The cords of death encompassed me, and the cords of hell. Psalms 18:4-5.

In the same author,

Like sheep they will be placed in hell, death will feed them. Psalms 49:14.

In John,

I have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1:18.

In the same book,

He who overcomes will not suffer harm in the second death. Revelation 1:11.

[4] In the same book,

I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive; but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen what remains, which is at the point of death. Revelation 3:1-2.

In Matthew,

The people sitting in darkness have seen a great light; and for those sitting in the region and shadow of death, the light has arisen. Matthew 4:16.

In John,

He who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me will have eternal life, and will not come into judgement, but has passed from death to life. John 5:24.

In the same gospel,

I am going away and you will seek Me, but you will die in your sin. I have said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins. If anyone keeps My word he will not ever see death. John 8:21, 14, 51-52.

Because 'death' meant damnation those who belonged to the representative Church were forbidden to touch the dead. If they did touch them they were unclean and had to be cleansed, Ezekiel 44:25; Leviticus 15:31; 21:2-3; 22:8; Numbers 6:6-12; 19:11-end.
