Numbers 6:13

"And this is the law of the Nazirite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tent of meeting: and he shall offer his oblation unto Jehovah, one he-lamb a year old without blemish for a burn-offering, and one ewe-lamb a year old without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for peace-offerings, and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings. And the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering: and he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof. And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tent of meeting and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace-offerings. And the priest shall take the boiled 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 Nazirite, after he hath shaven the head of his separation; and the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah; this is holy for the priest, together with the wave-breast, and heave-thigh: and after that the Nazirite may drink wine."

These verses detail the rather elaborate ceremonies, including the offering of a full list of the Levitical sacrifices, that concluded the days of the Nazirite's separation. Numbers 6:19,20 describe the peace-offerings which were normally consumed by the offerer and his friends, celebrating at the same time the lifting of the ban against drinking wine. As Ward said:

"Such O.T. passages as this cannot be used by the Christian to justify social drinking of alcoholic beverages. The O.T. is not our final authority for conduct. Our final authority is the lordship of Jesus Christ as interpreted by the Holy Spirit (in the N.T.)."[11]

We referred above to the hair shaved off at the end of the days as being burnt as a sacrifice. However, it is nowhere called a sacrifice, and the Jewish tradition on this could be correct: "it was burned, not as a sacrifice, but in order to keep an object of consecration from being profaned."[12]
