Numbers6:18

18 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation , at the door of the Tabernacle of the congregation , and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire , which is under the sacrifice of the peace-offerings.

Or, of his Nazariteship, i. e. in which the chief of his Nazarite-ship or separation to God consisted.

Publickly, that it might be known that his vow was ended, and therefore he was at liberty as to those things from which he had restrained himself for a season, otherwise some might have been scandalized at his use of his liberty. See Act. 21. 26.

Either 1. the fire of the Altar. But why then is this restrained to the peaceofferings, seeing it was common to the burnt-offerings, and to the sin-offerings? or rather 2. to the fire of the kitchin, upon which the flesh of the peace-offerings was boyled.
