Numbers 6 ; verse 18-20
The Nazirite
18 “‘Then at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the Nazirite must shave off the hair that symbolizes their dedication. They are to take the hair and put it in the fire that is under the sacrifice of the fellowship offering.
19 “‘After the Nazirite has shaved off the hair that symbolizes their dedication, the priest is to place in their hands a boiled shoulder of the ram, and one thick loaf and one thin loaf from the basket, both made without yeast. 20 The priest shall then wave these before the Lord as a wave offering; they are holy and belong to the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.
(18)پِھر وہ نذیر خَیمۂِ اِجتماع کے دروازہ پر اپنی نذارت کے بال مُنڈوائے اور نذارت کے بالوں کو اُس آگ میں ڈال دے جو سلامتی کی قُربانی کے نِیچے ہو گی۔
(19)اور جب نذیر اپنی نذارت کے بال مُنڈوا چُکے تو کاہِن اُس مینڈھے کا اُبالا ہُؤا شانہ اور ایک بے خمِیری روٹی ٹوکری میں سے اور ایک بے خمِیری کُلچہ لے کر اُس نذیر کے ہاتھوں پر اُن کو دھرے۔
(20)پِھر کاہِن اُن کو ہِلانے کی قُربانی کے طَور پر خُداوند کے حضُور ہِلائے ۔ ہِلانے کی قُربانی کے سِینہ اور اُٹھانے کی قُربانی کے شانہ کے ساتھ یہ بھی کاہِن کے لِئے مُقدّس ہیں ۔ اِس کے بعد نذیر مَے پی سکے گا
My point of view about above verses
God told Moses tell Israelite that if a man or woman set them apart for Lord by taking a vow - it should be shown that they are keeping them away from worldly pleasures - they are not supposed to drink wine or anything made of grapes or fermented drinks as long as they are under oath - They should not cut their hairs and go near to any dead body - even of their father, mother, brother and sister - they have to kept themselves away from dead bodies during the period of their vow. From observing them or their behavior people should know that they have consecrated or dedicated themselves to Lord
If someone dies before a person who dedicated himself to the Lord - then that person has to shave his head and offer sin offering and guilt offering to the Lord and start again the days of dedication as former days are lost as his separation was defiled because of dead body
At the end of the dedication period - person who dedicated himself to the Lord present offering to the Lord in public ceremony - the offerings are burnt offering, sin offering and fellowship offering with grain and drink offering - he also has to shave his head and burn the hairs in fire of fellowship offering and priest has to offer wave offering for the person dedicated - This offering is priest's share - after all this procedure dedicated person can drink wine
Let God give us wisdom to understand his word and help us to apply it in our lives
