11. And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

3. He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
4. All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine-tree, from the kernels even to the husk.

5. Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
