Numbers 6:9

Die.. by him] i.e. beside him. Head of his consecration] his unshorn locks were the visible sign of his vow of consecration.

14, 15. The burnt offering betokened his entire dedication to God; the sin offering was presented for the sins he may have committed unwittingly during the period of his consecration; and the peace offering was an expression of his thankfulness for having been able to complete his vow. On the meaning of these sacrifices, see Leviticus 1:3; Leviticus 1:4.
