71 Nazir 6/8-11

(8) Rabban Shimon the son of Gamliel said: "[If] he brought three animals and did not specify [which animal was for which sacrifice], the one fit for a sin-offering should be offered as a sin-offering; [fit] for a burnt-offering [should be] offered as a burnt-offering; [fit] for a peace-offering [should be] offered as a peace-offering. He would take hair from his head and throw it under the cauldron. If he shaved in the province he would throw it under the cauldron." To what case do these words refer? For shaving for purity. But for shaving for impurity, he would not throw under the pot. Rabbi Meir says: "Everyone throws under the pot except for the impure one who is in the province."

(9) He would boil the peace-offering or stew it. The priest would take the boiled leg from the ram, and one unleavened loaf from the basket, and an unleavened biscuit, and put them in the nazir's hands and wave them. Afterward, the nazir is allowed to drink wine and become impure through contact with the dead. Rabbi Shimon says: "Once one [drop] from the blood has been sprayed on him, the nazir is allowed to drink wine and become impure through contact with the dead."

(10) [If] he shaved after the offering and it was found to be invalid, his shaving is invalid, and his offerings were ineffective for him. [If] he shaved after the sin-offering that was not [offered] for its own sake and afterward he offered his sacrifices for their own sake, his shaving is invalid, and his sacrifices were ineffective for him. [If] he shaved after the burnt-offering or the peace-offering that were not offered for their own sake, and afterward he brought his sacrifices for their own sake, that sacrifice was ineffective for him, but the rest of his sacrifices were effective for him. [If] he shaved after all three and one of them was found to be valid, his shaving is valid, and he should bring the rest of the offerings.

(11) One who had one [drop] of the blood sprayed on him and became impure, Rabbi Eleizer says: "It invalidates all." The sages say: "He shall bring the rest of his offerings and be purified." They said to him: "It once happened to Miriam the Palmyrean that one [drop] of blood was sprayed on her, and they came and said to her that her daughter was in danger. She went and found that she was dead. Then the sages said, 'She shall bring the rest of her offerings and be purified.'"
