[Sifrei Bamidbar 33:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Bamidbar/r/33:1)

והקריב את קרבנו לה' כבש בן שנתו תמים להוציא בעל מום. וכבשה אחת בת שנתה תמימה להוציא בעלת מום ואיל אחד תמים [להוציא בעל מום] לימד לנזיר שטעון שלש בהמות.

**Sifrei by Rabbi Shraga Silverstein:**
(Bamidbar 6:14) "And he shall offer up his sacrifice to the L-rd: one lamb of the first year, whole": to exclude one that is blemished. "and one ewe-lamb of the first year, whole": to exclude one that is blemished. "and one ram, whole": to exclude one that is blemished. We are hereby taught that the Nazirite requires three (mutually exclusive) animals (i.e., each is a mitzvah in itself).
