What is the focus of Day 57 in the Bible in a Year podcast?
Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible Timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. This is day 57, and so... We are cruising. I always say that, but it's true. We'll be reading Numbers chapter six, Deuteronomy chapter six, and praying Psalm 91. Psalm 91 is just my goodness. All of the Psalms are incredible prayers. They're incredible songs to the Lord. But man, Psalm 91 is one of my personal favorites. And so I'm so glad to be able to pray it with you today. As you know, we read from the Revised Standard Version, the Second Catholic Edition. That is the Bible translation that I'm using. Specifically, I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

What is the significance of the Nazarite vow in Numbers 6?
And the Lord said to Moses, say to the sons of Israel, when either a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazarite to separate himself to the Lord, 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. All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, not even the seeds or the skins. All the days of his vow of separation no razor shall come upon 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 his hair of his head grow long. All the days that he separates himself to the Lord, he shall not go near a dead body, neither for his father, nor for his mother, nor for a brother or sister. If they die, shall he make himself unclean because his separation to God is upon his head. All the days of his separation, he is holy to the Lord.
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. On the eighth day he shall bring two turtle doves or two young pigeons to the priest to the door of the tent of meeting. 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 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 former time shall be void because his separation was defiled. And this is the law for the Nazarite.
When the time of his separation has been completed, he shall be brought to the door of the tent of meeting, and he shall offer his gift to the Lord, one male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish as a peace offering, and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil, and their cereal offering and their drink offerings." And the priest shall present them before the Lord and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering. And he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of peace offering to the Lord with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer also its cereal offering and its drink offering.
And the Nazarite shall shave his consecrated head at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair from his consecrated head, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offering.
