Numbers 6:12

10 Then ^aon the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting;

11 and the priest shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned in regard to the corpse; and he shall sanctify his head that same day.

12 He shall consecrate to the Lord the days of his separation, and bring a male lamb in its first year ^aas a trespass offering; but the former days shall be¹ lost, because his separation was defiled.

13 ‘Now this is the law of the Nazirite: ^aWhen the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

14 And he shall present his offering to the Lord: one male lamb in its first year without blemish as a burnt offering, one ewe lamb in its first year without blemish ^aas a sin offering, one ram without blemish ^bas a peace offering,

15 a basket of unleavened bread, ^acakes of fine flour mixed with oil, unleavened wafers ^banointed with oil, and their grain offering with their ^cdrink offerings.
