5 “‘All the days of the vow of his Naziriteship no razor should pass over his head;+ until the days that he should be separated to Jehovah come to the full, he should prove holy by letting the locks+ of the hair of his head grow.

18 However, after staying quite some days longer, Paul said good-bye to the brothers and proceeded to sail away for Syria, and with him Pris·cilʹla and Aqʹui·la, as he had the hair of his head clipped short+ in Cenʹchre·ae,*+ for he had a vow.

24 Take these men along+ and cleanse yourself ceremonially with them and take care of their expenses,+ that they may have their heads shaved.+ And so everybody will know that there is nothing to the rumors they were told about you, but that you are walking orderly, you yourself also keeping the Law.+
