this is the law of the Nazirite

on Numbers 6:13-15

The vow closes at “the entrance to the Tent of Meeting”, with three unblemished animals and a basket of unleavened cakes and wafers. John Gill points out that the basket matches Aaron’s consecration at Exodus 29:2. The man ending this vow brings what a priest brought at ordination.
