And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,
He must bring his gift to the LORD: a one-year-old male lamb with no flaws for a burnt offering, a one-year-old female lamb with no flaws for a sin offering, and a ram with no flaws for peace offerings.
This verse describes the specific animal sacrifices a Nazirite must offer to God when completing their special vow of dedication.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Numbers, God was giving instructions to the Israelites through Moses about various laws and rituals as they wandered in the wilderness after the Exodus, including the Nazirite vow, a special commitment of holiness and separation from everyday life. This vow required individuals to avoid wine, not cut their hair, and stay away from the dead, symbolizing total dedication to God. At the end of the vow period, specific unblemished offerings like those described were required to complete the consecration and seek atonement.
