[영어 성경 공부] Numbers 6 : 1~12

[Nu 6:1-12, NIV]

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'If a man or woman wants to make a special vow, a vow of dedication to the LORD as a Nazirite,

3 they must abstain from wine and other fermented drink and must not drink vinegar made from wine or other fermented drink. They must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.

4 As long as they remain under their Nazirite vow, they must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins.

5 "'During the entire period of their Nazirite vow, no razor may be used on their head. They must be holy until the period of their dedication to the LORD is over; they must let their hair grow long.

6 "'Throughout the period of their dedication to the LORD, the Nazirite must not go near a dead body.

7 Even if their own father or mother or brother or sister dies, they must not make themselves ceremonially unclean on account of them, because the symbol of their dedication to God is on their head.

8 Throughout the period of their dedication, they are consecrated to the LORD.

9 "'If someone dies suddenly in the Nazirite's presence, thus defiling the hair that symbolizes their dedication, they must shave their head on the seventh day—the day of their cleansing.

10 Then on the eighth day they must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

11 The priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for the Nazirite because they sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. That same day they are to consecrate their head again.

12 They must rededicate themselves to the LORD for the same period of dedication and must bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days do not count, because they became defiled during their period of dedication.

[Nu 6:1-12, ESV]

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 "Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When either a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD,

3 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall drink no vinegar made from wine or strong drink and shall not drink any juice of grapes or eat grapes, fresh or dried.

4 All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, not even the seeds or the skins.

5 "All the days of his vow of separation, no razor shall touch his head. Until the time is completed for which he separates himself to the LORD, he shall be holy. He shall let the locks of hair of his head grow long.

6 "All the days that he separates himself to the LORD he shall not go near a dead body.

7 Not even for his father or for his mother, for brother or sister, if they die, shall he make himself unclean, because his separation to God is on his head.

8 All the days of his separation he is holy to the LORD.

9 "And if any man dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it.

10 On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two pigeons to the priest to the entrance of the tent of meeting,

11 and the priest shall offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead body. And he shall consecrate his head that same day

12 and separate himself to the LORD for the days of his separation and bring a male lamb a year old for a guilt offering. But the previous period shall be void, because his separation was defiled.

🧠 2. 핵심 문법 정리

✅ ① 시제: 현재형의 일반적 진리 서술

• “he shall separate himself…” → 미래 조동사 shall 사용. 이는 단순 미래라기보단 의무적 규례나 율법적 선언을 나타냄. (ex: 해야 한다)

---

✅ ② 부정 표현의 반복

• “He shall drink no vinegar ... and shall not drink any juice … or eat grapes…”
• → “no, not, or” 등을 사용하여 부정의 강조.

---

✅ ③ 관계사절과 전치사구

• “that is produced by the grapevine”
• → 관계대명사 that 사용. produced는 과거분사로서 형용사 역할 (수동 의미).

---

✅ ④ 조건절

• “if any man dies very suddenly beside him…”
• → if + 주어 + 동사: 조건절. 갑작스러운 죽음으로 인해 그의 서원이 더럽혀질 경우.

---

✅ ⑤ 분사구문과 부가 설명

• “because he sinned by reason of the dead body”→ sinned는 주절의 원인으로 사용됨.
• → by reason of = ~로 인해, 때문에 (원인 설명).

---

✅ ⑥ 반복되는 구조: "All the days of his separation..."

• 반복을 통해 강조하는 율법의 지속성. 하루 이틀이 아니라 서원 기간 전체를 포괄하는 규례임을 나타냄.

---

✅ ⑦ 시제의 혼합

• 과거 시제를 사용하지 않음. 전부 현재/미래형(shall + 동사)으로 명령/규례 성격이 강조됨.
