17And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto Yhwh, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his grain offering, and his drink offering. 18And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings. And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven: 20And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yhwh: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine. 21This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering unto Yhwh for his separation, beside that that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.
