Core Text — Nazir 44b
וביום השמיני — נאמר כאן שמיני ונאמר להלן ביום השמיני תתנו לי, מה שמיני האמור להלן הכשיר בו שמיני ומעלה.

English: “And on the eighth day” — “eighth” is said here and “eighth” is said elsewhere; just as there the eighth day and onward is valid, so here.

In context: The gezerah shavah aligns the timing of the nazir’s bird-offerings after impurity with other eighth-day sacrificial rules.
