Question 1

In what order are the nazirite's three completion sacrifices slaughtered?

The sin offering is slaughtered first, then the burnt offering, then the peace offering — followed by shaving (Halachah 2).

Question 2

A nazirite is completely bald. What must he do to complete his vow?

A bald nazirite need not pass a razor over his head. He brings his sacrifices and may then drink wine and become impure (Halachah 5).

Question 3

A nazirite shaved after the sin offering was slaughtered, but the burnt and peace offerings were later found invalid. Is the shaving valid?

The shaving is valid if it followed the slaughter of the sin offering, even if the other offerings were invalid (Halachah 8).

Question 4

May a son use funds his father set aside for his own nazirite vow to fund the son's completion sacrifices?

A son may use his father's pre-designated nazirite funds to perform the shaving — this is a halachah from the Oral Tradition (Halachah 15).

Question 5

What happens if a nazirite's shaving is ruled invalid?

An invalid shaving is treated as a mid-vow shaving, which invalidates 30 days. He must observe 30 more days and bring new sacrifices (Halachah 11).
