13. "This is the ritual for the nazirite: On the day he completes the period of his dedication he shall go to the entrance of the meeting tent,

16. The priest, having brought all this before Yahweh, will offer the nazirite's sin sacrifice and burnt offering.

22. Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

23. "Speak to Aaron and his sons and tell them: This is how you shall bless the Israelites. Say to them:

23. 'Speak to Aaron and his sons and say: "This is how you must bless the Israelites. You will say:

24. The LORD bless you and keep you!

25. The LORD let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you!
