How was [the rite of] the polling after defilement [performed]? He would be sprinkled on the third and seventh days, poll on the seventh day and bring his sacrifices on the Eighth Day. If he polled on the Eighth Day, he would bring his sacrifices on that same day. This is the opinion of R. Akiba. R. Tarfon asked him: what difference is there between this [Nazirite] and a leper? He replied: the purification of this man depends on the [lapse of seven] days only], whereas the purification of a leper depends [also] on his polling, and he cannot bring a sacrifice unless the sun has set upon him [after his ritual bath]. |

How was [the rite of] polling in ritual purity performed? He would bring three animals, a sin-offering, a burnt-offering, and a peace-offering, slaughter the peace-offering and poll thereafter. This is the opinion of R. Judah. R. Eleazar said: He would poll actually after the sin-offering, for in all cases [the sacrifice of] the sin-offering takes precedence. But if he polled after [the slaughter] of any one of the three his obligation would be discharged. |
