Бритье чистоты —Как? Он принес бы трех зверей: жертву за грех, всесожжение и жертву мира, и он заколол жертву мира и побрился над ней [написано (Числа 6:18): «И он должен бриться у входа скинии собрания », что понимается так:« И он должен побрить голову над жертвой, о которой написано: «у входа скинии собрания», что является жертвой мира, в котором написано (Левит 3: 3): «И заколет его у входа скинии собрания».] Это слова Р. Иегуды. Р. Элазар говорит: Он бреется только над грехом. жертва, потому что жертва за грех имеет преимущество [над всесожжением и мирной жертвой] во всех местах. И это более того, что он должен бриться первым.] И если он побрил одну из трех, он удовлетворил требование.
Bartenura on Mishnah Nazir
שחט את השלמים ומגלח עליהם – as it is written regarding the Nazirite (Numbers 6:18 – though this verse is not exactly as found in the commentary – which is not found in this chapter): “The Nazirite shall then shave his consecrated hair at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting,” and we expound upon this verse, that he shall shave his head over the sacrifice that is written regarding it at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, which is the peace offering, as it is written concerning them (Leviticus 3:2): “and slaughter it at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.”

English Explanation of Mishnah Nazir
Introduction
Yesterday’s mishnah dealt with a nazirite who had to shave because he had become ritually defiled. Today’s mishnah deals with a nazirite who has successfully completed his term of naziriteship, and is shaving as part of its completion, as is prescribed in Numbers 6. In our mishnah two sages dispute when exactly he shaves during this process.

Bartenura on Mishnah Nazir
שחטאת קודמת בכל מקום – [the sin offering precedes] the burnt offering and the peace offering, and it is the law that he may shave after the first [sacrifice], but the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda that he shaves on the peace offering.

English Explanation of Mishnah Nazir
Shaving in a case of purity: How was it done? He would bring three animals, a sin-offering, a burnt-offering, and a well-being offering, slaughter the peace-offering and shave thereafter, the words of Rabbi Judah. Numbers 6:14 states that a nazirite upon completion of his naziriteship is to bring three sacrifices, as stated in the mishnah. Verse 16-18 then state: “The priest shall present them before the Lord and offer the sin offering and the burnt offering. He shall offer the ram of sacrifice of well-being…The nazirite shall then cut his hair.” Rabbi Judah therefore requires that all three sacrifices be offered before he cuts his hair. This is the literal interpretation of the verse.

English Explanation of Mishnah Nazir
Rabbi Elazar says: he shaves after the sin-offering, for in all cases [the sacrifice of] the sin-offering takes precedence. In contrast, Rabbi Elazar holds that the nazirite should shave after the sacrifice of the sin-offering, for the sin-offering always takes precedence (see Leviticus 5:8). To show that it takes precedence, Rabbi Elazar says that he should shave after its offering, before the other two sacrifices are offered.

English Explanation of Mishnah Nazir
But if he shaved after [the slaughter] of any one of the three he has fulfilled his obligation. Nevertheless, if he shaved after any of the other offerings, both sages agree that he has fulfilled his obligation.
