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.

14. Lamb… without blemish — See Lev_1:3.
Peace offerings — Since the occasion was joyous these festive offerings were especially pertinent. See Lev_3:1; Lev_7:11-21, notes. The sin offering is pertinent to an involuntary sin, unknown yet presumed on the ground of human imperfection. See Lev_4:2, note, and concluding notes. Thus was the Nazarite not only estopped from claiming any merit, but he was also taught that even his best endeavours needed the blood of sprinkling, and that not even a conscience void of offence was to be trusted in as a ground of acceptance. See 1Co_4:4.

14. peace-offerings] Heb. shelâmîm. The meaning is uncertain. Some connect it with shâlôm ‘peace,’ and explain it as ‘the sacrifice offered when friendly relations existed towards God, as distinct from piacular offerings which presupposed estrangement.’ So LXX. θυσία εἰρηνική. Others derive it from a verb shillçm 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.

(14) And he shall offer.—The word which is here rendered offer is different from that which is used in Num_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. Mat_15:5-6; St. Mar_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.
