Numbers 6:12

12 He must rededicate ^{▼▼tn The same idea is to be found now in the use of the word נָזַר (nazar), which refers to a recommitment after the vow was interrupted.} to the Lord the days of his separation and bring a male lamb in its first year as a reparation offering, ^{▼▼tn The necessity of bringing the reparation offering was due to the reinstatement into the vow that had been interrupted.} but the former days will not be counted ^{▼▼tn Heb “will fall”; KJV “shall be lost”; ASV, NASB, NRSV “shall be void.”} because his separation ^{▼▼tc The similar expression in v. 9 includes the word “head” (i.e., “his consecrated head”). The LXX includes this word in v. 12 as well.} was defiled.
