Commentary
5 notes on this verseThis is the law of the Nazarite - We learn from Maimonides, in his Treatise of the Nazarite, that a man might become a Nazarite in behalf of another; that is, might assist him in bearing the expenses of the sacrifices, etc. “A son may fulfill the vow his deceased father hath made, but did not live to accomplish: - He that saith, upon me be the shaving of a Nazarite, he is bound to bring the offerings of shaving for cleanness, and may offer them by the hand of what Nazarite he will.
This site's exposition
the priest is to take the boiled shoulder from the ram

The shoulder, a cake and a wafer are waved from the Nazirite’s hands, and John Wesley takes the shoulder as the priest’s extra portion. Verse 20 ends with the release, “After that, the Nazirite may drink wine”.
This site's exposition
in addition to whatever else he can afford
The fixed offerings were the minimum, and a man could add what his means allowed. Adam Clarke cites Maimonides, who let one man pay the offerings for another's vow and a son complete a vow his father died owing. The vow itself had to be kept as spoken.
