Après avoir cuit ou bouilli l'offrande de paix, le Cohein prenait l'épaule cuite du bélier, et un gâteau sans levain du panier, et une gaufrette sans levain, et les plaçait sur les mains du Nazirite, et il les soulevait; et alors le Naziréen serait autorisé à boire du vin et à se rendre impur pour les morts, [il est écrit (Nombres 6:20): "Et après, le Naziréen peut boire du vin"— après tous les actes susmentionnés.] R. Shimon dit: Une fois qu'un des sang (des offrandes) a été aspergé pour lui, le Naziréen est autorisé à boire du vin et à devenir impur pour les morts, [il est écrit ici: «Et après, le Naziréen peut boire du vin», et ailleurs (Ibid. 19): «après avoir rasé son nazirisme» — Tout comme là, après un seul acte, donc ici, après un seul acte — par lequel on nous enseigne qu'une fois qu'un des sang a été aspergé pour lui, il est autorisé à boire du vin et à se rendre impur pour les morts.]

English Explanation of Mishnah Nazir
Introduction Numbers 6:17-20 read: “He shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of well-being to the Lord, together with the basket of unleavened cakes; the priest shall also offer the meal offerings and the libations. The nazirite shall then shave his consecrated hair…The priest shall take the shoulder of the ram when it has been boiled, one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and place them on the hands of the nazirite after he has shaved his consecrated hair. The priest shall wave them as a wave-offering before the Lord… After that the nazirite shall drink wine.” Our mishnah discusses this process and contains a dispute over exactly when the nazirrite shaves his head.

Bartenura on Mishnah Nazir
ר"ש אומר כו' – It is written here, “after that the nazirite may drink wine” (Numbers 6:20) and it is written there (Numbers 6:19): “after he has shaved his consecrated hair.” Just as there, it is after the action of an individual, also here, it is after the action of an individual. For we have learned, that since one of the bloods [from the three sacrifices] is sprinkled upon him, it is permitted to drink wine and to become defiled to the dead, and such is the Halakha.

He would then boil or completely boil the peace-offering. To the biblical requirements quoted above, the mishnah adds that the well-being offering may either be boiled or completely boiled, such that the meat falls of the bone extremely easily.

The priest then took the boiled shoulder of the ram, an unleavened cake from the basket, and an unleavened wafer, placed them on the nazirite’s hands and waved them. These actions are prescribed by verse 19.

English Explanation of Mishnah Nazir
After this, the nazirite was allowed to drink wine and defile himself for the dead. Rabbi Shimon says: as soon as one kind of blood had been sprinkled on his behalf the nazirite could drink wine and defile himself for the dead. According to the first opinion, only after the priest has completed these actions can the nazirite drink wine and defile himself for the dead. This is a simple reading of the order of the activities prescribed in the above verses. Rabbi Shimon says that as soon as one of the sacrifices blood is sprinkled on the altar on behalf of the nazirite, he may drink wine and defile himself for the dead. This is so even though he has not yet shaved or offered the other sacrifices. In the Talmud midrashic proof is brought for Rabbi Shimon’s position.
