‘Now this is the law of the Nazirite when the days of his consecration are fulfilled: he shall bring [fn]his offering to the entrance of the tent of meeting.

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:19 - ‘And the priest shall take the ram’s shoulder when it has been boiled, and one unleavened loaf from the basket and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the [fn]hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his consecrated hair.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 6:20 - ‘Then the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before the LORD. It is holy for the priest, together with the breast offered as a wave offering, and the thigh offered as [fn]a contribution; and afterward the Nazirite may drink wine.’

“This is the law of the Nazirite who vows his offering to the LORD according to his consecration, in addition to what else [fn]he can afford; corresponding to his vow which he makes, so he shall do according to the law of his consecration.”
