“Tell the people of Israel: A person might make a special promise to the Lord. That person might promise to give a person to the Lord. {That person will then serve the Lord in a special way.} The priest must set a price for that person. {People will have to pay that price if they want to buy the person back from the Lord.}
“That person must not cut his hair during that special time of separation. He must be holy until the time that his separation is ended. He must let his hair grow long. That person’s hair is a special part of his promise to God. {He will give that hair as a gift to God.} So, that person must let his hair grow long until the time of separation is ended.
