And some of your young men to be Nazirites (dedicated ones).

Is this not true, O you children of Israel?” says the Lord. [Num 6:1-8]

11I raised up prophets from your sons

and Nazirites from your young men.

O children of Israel?”

11I raised up some of your sons for prophets,

and some of your young men for Nazirites.

Isn’t this true,

you children of Israel?” says Yahweh.

11I raised up prophets from among your children.

I also set apart for myself some of your young people to be Nazirites.

Isn’t that true, people of Israel?”

11I chose some men among you to be prophets, and some to be Nazirites. You Israelites know that it is true.’ That is what the Lord says.
