    and Nazarites from your young men.
    Oh, people of Israel, this not true?"
    says the LORD” (Source: Newari Back Translation)

    and I chose others to be Nazir-men who were completely dedicated to me.
    You people of Israel certainly know that what I have said is true!” (Source: Translation for Translators)
