Reference for Nazir 6:11

מִי שֶׁנִּזְרַק עָלָיו אֶחָד מִן הַדָּמִים וְנִטְמָא, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, סוֹתֵר אֶת הַכֹּל. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, יָבִיא שְׁאָר קָרְבְּנוֹתָיו וְיִטְהָר. אָמְרוּ לוֹ, מַעֲשֶׂה בְמִרְיָם הַתַּרְמוֹדִית שֶׁנִּזְרַק עָלֶיהָ אֶחָד מִן הַדָּמִים, וּבָאוּ וְאָמְרוּ לָהּ עַל בִּתָּהּ שֶׁהָיְתָה מְסֻכֶּנֶת, וְהָלְכָה וּמְצָאתָהּ שֶׁמֵּתָה, וְאָמְרוּ חֲכָמִים, תָּבִיא שְׁאָר קָרְבְּנוֹתֶיהָ וְתִטְהָר:

If one of the bloods were sprinkled for him and he became unclean, R. Eliezer says: He offsets all. [Not all of the days (of Naziritism), but all of the offerings. R. Eliezer is consistent with his view that the Nazirite is not permitted to drink wine until all of the (aforementioned acts), after the bringing of all the offerings. So that when he became unclean before he offered all of them, it is as if he became unclean in the morning, before he had offered any of them. And the offering that he brought is reckoned as having been brought before "fulfillment" (of his Naziritism).] And the sages say: He may bring the other offerings and become clean. [(That is, when he becomes clean.) And he need not bring again the offering that he brought when he was clean. The rabbis are consistent with their view (6:9) that after a single act it is permitted to drink wine and to shave. Therefore, before he became unclean, he was fit to shave, and that offering is not offset. But the other offerings, which he sacrificed after becoming unclean, are certainly offset, Scripture requiring that all the Nazirite offerings be brought in cleanliness.] They said to him. It happened with Miriam the Tarmodith [(from Tarmod)] that one of the bloods had been sprinkled for her and they came and told her that her daughter was gravely ill — whereupon she went and found that she had died. And the sages said: "Let her bring the other offerings and become clean."
