Numbers 6:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ “ ‘And they must not go near a dead body during that whole time. ⁷ But what if their father or mother dies? Or what if their brother or sister dies? Then they must not make themselves “unclean” because of them. The hair on their heads shows they are set apart for God. ⁸ During the whole time they are set apart they are holy to the Lord.
