Context — The Nazirite Vow
12He must rededicate his time of separation to the LORD and bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. But the preceding days shall not be counted, because his separation was defiled.
13Now this is the law of the Nazirite when his time of separation is complete: He must be brought to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
14and he is to present an offering to the LORD of an unblemished year-old male lamb as a burnt offering, an unblemished year-old female lamb as a sin offering, and an unblemished ram as a peace offering—
15together with their grain offerings and drink offerings—and a basket of unleavened cakes made from fine flour mixed with oil and unleavened wafers coated with oil. 16The priest is to present all these before the LORD and make the sin offering and the burnt offering.Cross References

Numbers 6:14 Summary
[This verse shows that when someone completed their Nazirite vow, they had to give some special gifts to God, including a perfect male lamb, a perfect female lamb, and a perfect ram. These gifts were like a big 'thank you' to God for helping them stay dedicated to Him. The male lamb was like a sacrifice to show love and devotion to God, like in John 3:16. The female lamb was to help forgive sins, which is also what Jesus did for us, as seen in Romans 3:24-25.]

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Numbers 6:14
For a sin-offering, whereby he confessed and bewailed his frailties and miscarriages, notwithstanding the strictness of his vow and all the diligence and care which he could use, and consequently acknowledged his need of the grace of God in Christ Jesus the true Nazarite. For peace-offerings; for thankfulness to God, who had given him grace to make and in some measure to keep such a vow. So he offered all the three sorts of offerings, that he might so far fulfil all righteousness, and profess his obligation to observe the will of God in all things.
Trapp's Commentary on Numbers 6:14
Numbers 6:14 And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,Ver. 14. And he shall offer his offering.] Though he had fulfilled his vow in the best manner, yet he must come with his sin offering, &c., leading him to Christ, for pardon of failings in the manner; and with his thank offering, for what he had been enabled to do, before he could be released of his Nazariteship.
Ellicott's Commentary on Numbers 6:14
(14) And he shall offer.—The word which is here rendered offer is different from that which is used in Numbers 6:11, and means literally to bring near. The cognate noun is Corban—a word which St. Mark translates into Greek dovon, and which means a gift offered to God. (Comp. St. Matthew 15:5-6; St. Mark 7:11). The sin-offering was an offering of atonement for sins committed during the period of the consecration of the Nazirite, and the burnt-offering typified the entire consecration of the body, soul, and spirit of the offerer to the Lord.
Cambridge Bible on Numbers 6:14
14. peace-offerings] Heb. shelβmξm. The meaning is uncertain. Some connect it with shβlτm ‘peace,’ and explain it as ‘the sacrifice offered when friendly relations existed towards God, as distinct from piacular offerings which presupposed estrangement.’ So LXX. θυσίαεἰρηνική. Others derive it from a verb shillηm denoting to ‘make restitution,’ and so ‘to pay what is due’; hence a thank- or votive-offering. It was generally offered on joyful occasions, God and the worshipper partaking together of the sacrifice. God’s portion comprised the fat and viscera of the victim, which were offered to Him by being burnt.
Whedon's Commentary on Numbers 6:14
14. Lamb… without blemish — See Leviticus 1:3. Peace offerings — Since the occasion was joyous these festive offerings were especially pertinent. See Leviticus 3:1; Leviticus 7:11-21, notes.
