The Terms of the Nazirite Vow
Completion of the Nazirite Vow
Summary of the Nazirite Vow
Numbers 6:22-27 contain what many have called the "Aaronic Benediction." It is also called the "priestly prayer." It expresses the priests’ desire for the LORD to shower His people with favor. It demonstrates that the priests were to be a source of blessing for the LORD’s people.
Chapter 6 continues the theme of purity among the LORD's covenant people. There are two subjects covered in this chapter. The first one establishes the law concerning a Nazirite vow. The second one spells out what the priest was to say to bless the people.
Numbers 6 can be outlined as follows:
- The Law of the Nazirite (Numbers 6:1 – 21)
- The Terms of the Nazirite Vow (Numbers 6:1 – 12)
- Completion of the Nazirite Vow (Numbers 6:13 – 20)
- Summary of the Nazirite Vow (Numbers 6:21)
- The Priestly Blessing (Numbers 6:22 – 27)
