Commentary
4 notes on this verseAnd a basket of unleavened bread,.... As at the consecration of Aaron and his sons, Exo 29:2; though for peace offerings for thanksgiving leavened bread was offered, Lev 7:13, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil; ten of each sort, as Jarchi says, ten cakes and ten wafers, see Exo 29:9, and their meat offering and their drink offering; which always used to attend every sacrifice.
This site's exposition
And this is the law of the Nazarite
on Numbers 6:13-15
The vow closes where it was made, at the door of the tabernacle, and it closes with sacrifice. Three animals are named without blemish, a he lamb for a burnt offering, an ewe lamb for a sin offering and a ram for peace offerings, with a basket of unleavened cakes and wafers, a meat offering and a drink offering. Gill points out that the basket of unleavened bread matches the consecration of Aaron and his sons at Exodus 29:2, so the man ending this vow brings what a priest brought at his ordination.

when the days of his separation are fulfilled, &c.--On the accomplishment of a limited vow of Nazaritism, Nazarites might cut their hair wherever they happened to be (Ac 18:18); but the hair was to be carefully kept and brought to the door of the sanctuary.
