Numbers 4:34-6:27

First: get everyone who is unclean out of the camp. (we're all unclean at some point!)
Second: pay restitution for wrongs done ... now a days we can ask forgiveness. And be thankful that Christ paid restitution for us!

Test of an Unfaithful Wife - this irked me.  If a man thought his wife was unfaithful, he could take her to the priest where she would be given bitters that would cause her "thighs to waste away and her abdomen to swell" if she was guilty and have no effect if not.  "The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing."  I know there is a cultural aspect to this, but I also know the bible is true and right.  It still irked me ... especially having known more husbands who have cheated than wives.  And extremely jealous husbands who wrongly accused their wives.

The Nazarite - a vow, a period of separation from the Lord
do not drink wine, vinegar or other fermented drink or grape juice
do not eat raisins or grapes or anything from the grapevine including seeds and skins
no razor is to go near the head during the separation, hair is to grow long

The long hair is the symbol of their separation from the Lord.  I do not understand why this was done.  I will have to research it and do another post.  I do know people who have taken a Nazarite Vow and let their hair grow while praying in earnest for something they desire.

And I will leave you with this: (I always hear our pastor from MD singing or canting this at the end of services...)

6:24-26 "The LORD bless you and keep you; 25 the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; 26 the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace." 

Go in peace, serve the Lord.
