הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַבָּשָׂר מוּתָּר בִּבְשַׂר דָּגִים וַחֲגָבִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
And **one who takes a vow** that **meat** is prohibited to him is **permitted to** eat **the meat of fish and grasshoppers.**


###### Chullin 104a:2
[Chullin 104a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/104a:2)

**גְּמָ׳** הָא עוֹף אָסוּר מִדְּאוֹרָיְיתָא, כְּמַאן? דְּלָא כְּרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא, דְּאִי רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא – הָאָמַר: חַיָּה וָעוֹף אֵינוֹ מִן הַתּוֹרָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** Since the mishna does not distinguish between the meat of animals and that of birds, it may **consequently** be inferred that the meat of **birds** cooked in milk is **prohibited by Torah law,** just like the meat of animals. **In accordance with whose** opinion is this ruling? It is **not in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Akiva, as, if** you say it is in accordance with the opinion of **Rabbi Akiva, didn’t he say** that the prohibition of the meat of **undomesticated animals and birds** cooked in milk **is not by Torah law?**


###### Chullin 104a:3
[Chullin 104a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/104a:3)

אֵימָא סֵיפָא: הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַבָּשָׂר – מוּתָּר בִּבְשַׂר דָּגִים וַחֲגָבִים, הָא עוֹף אָסוּר, אֲתָאן לְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא, דְּאָמַר: כֹּל מִילֵּי דְּמִימְּלִיךְ עֲלֵיהּ שָׁלִיחַ – בַּר מִינֵיהּ הוּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara continues: But **say the latter clause** of the mishna: **One who takes a vow** that **meat** is forbidden to him is **permitted to** eat **the meat of fish and grasshoppers.** It may **consequently** be inferred that it is **prohibited** for him to eat **birds.** If so, here **we arrive at** the opinion of **Rabbi Akiva, who said: Anything about which an agent** sent to purchase a given item **would inquire,** being unsure whether it qualifies as that type of item, **is** considered **its type.**


###### Chullin 104a:4
[Chullin 104a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/104a:4)

דְּתַנְיָא: הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַיָּרָק, מוּתָּר בַּדִּלּוּעִין, וְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹסֵר. אָמְרוּ לוֹ לְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא: וַהֲלֹא אוֹמֵר אָדָם לִשְׁלוּחוֹ ״קַח לָנוּ יָרָק״, וְהוּא אוֹמֵר ״לֹא מָצָאתִי אֶלָּא דִּלּוּעִין״!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**As it is taught** in a mishna (*Nedarim* 54a): **One who takes a vow** that **vegetables** are forbidden to him **is permitted to** eat **gourds,** as people do not typically consider gourds a type of vegetable, **but Rabbi Akiva deems** it **prohibited** for him to eat gourds. The Rabbis **said to Rabbi Akiva: But** it is a common occurrence that **a person says to his agent: Purchase vegetables for us, and** the agent, after failing to find vegetables, returns and **says: I found only gourds.** This indicates that gourds are not considered vegetables.


###### Chullin 104a:5
[Chullin 104a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/104a:5)

אָמַר לָהֶן: כֵּן הַדָּבָר, כְּלוּם אוֹמֵר ״לֹא מָצָאתִי אֶלָּא קִטְנִית״?! אֶלָּא שֶׁדִּלּוּעִין בִּכְלַל יָרָק, וְאֵין קִטְנִית בִּכְלַל יָרָק. רֵישָׁא רַבָּנַן, וְסֵיפָא רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabbi Akiva **said to them: The matter is so,** and that proves that my opinion is correct. **Does** the agent return and **say: I found only legumes? Rather,** it is evident **that gourds are included in** the category of **vegetables,** although they differ from other vegetables, and therefore, the agent explains that he found only gourds, and asks whether he should purchase them. **But legumes are not included in** the category of **vegetables,** and that is why an agent would not even ask about them. Therefore, Rabbi Akiva should also hold that one who takes a vow that meat is forbidden to him is prohibited from eating birds. And if so, **the first clause** of the mishna is in accordance with the opinion of **the Rabbis,** who disagree with Rabbi Akiva, **and the latter clause** is in accordance with the opinion of **Rabbi Akiva.**


###### Chullin 104a:6
[Chullin 104a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/104a:6)

אָמַר רַב יוֹסֵף: רַבִּי הִיא, וְנָסֵיב לַהּ אַלִּיבָּא דְתַנָּאֵי, בִּנְדָרִים סָבַר לַהּ כְּרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא, בְּבָשָׂר בְּחָלָב סָבַר לַהּ כְּרַבָּנַן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yosef said:** That is not difficult. The entire mishna **is** in accordance with the opinion of **Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi, **and he formulates** the mishna **according to** the opinions of different ***tanna’im*.** In the latter clause, **with regard to vows, he holds in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Akiva,** whereas in the first clause, **with regard to meat** cooked **in milk, he holds in accordance with** the opinion of **the Rabbis.**


###### Chullin 104a:7
[Chullin 104a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/104a:7)

רַב אָשֵׁי אָמַר: כּוּלַּהּ רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא הִיא, וְהָכִי קָאָמַר: כׇּל הַבָּשָׂר אָסוּר לְבַשֵּׁל בְּחָלָב, מֵהֶן מִדִּבְרֵי תוֹרָה וּמֵהֶן מִדִּבְרֵי סוֹפְרִים, חוּץ מִבְּשַׂר דָּגִים וַחֲגָבִים, שֶׁאֵינָם לֹא מִדִּבְרֵי תוֹרָה וְלֹא מִדִּבְרֵי סוֹפְרִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Ashi said** a different explanation: **The entire** mishna **is** in accordance with the opinion of **Rabbi Akiva,** as indicated by the latter clause, concerning vows. **And** as for the first part of the mishna, **this** is what it **is saying:** It is **prohibited to cook any meat** cooked **in milk, some** types **of** meat **by Torah law,** i.e., that of domesticated animals, **and some** types **of** meat **by rabbinic law,** i.e., that of undomesticated animals and birds. This prohibition applies to all types of meat **except for the meat of fish and grasshoppers, which are** not prohibited, **neither by Torah law nor by rabbinic law.**


###### Chullin 104a:8
[Chullin 104a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/104a:8)

וְאָסוּר לְהַעֲלוֹת [וְכוּ׳]. אָמַר רַב יוֹסֵף: שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ בְּשַׂר עוֹף בְּחָלָב דְּאוֹרָיְיתָא, דְּאִי סָלְקָא דַעְתָּךְ דְּרַבָּנַן – אֲכִילָה גּוּפַהּ גְּזֵירָה, וַאֲנַן נִגְזַר הַעֲלָאָה אַטּוּ אֲכִילָה?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna teaches further: **And** it is **prohibited to place** any meat with cheese on one table. **Rav Yosef said: Conclude from** this clause that eating the **meat of birds** cooked **in milk** is prohibited **by Torah law. As, if** it **enters your mind** that the prohibition against eating it applies merely **by rabbinic law,** this would be because the **consumption** of the meat of birds cooked in milk is **itself** a rabbinic **decree,** lest one come to eat the meat of an animal in milk. **And** would **we decree** against **placing** birds together with cheese on one table **due to** the possibility of **consumption,** which is itself a decree? The Sages do not enact one decree to prevent the violation of another decree.

[Chullin 104a:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Chullin/r/104a:9)

וּמְנָא תֵּימְרָא דְּלָא גָּזְרִינַן גְּזֵירָה לִגְזֵירָה? דִּתְנַן: חַלַּת חוּצָה לָאָרֶץ

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **And from where do you say that we do not issue** one rabbinic **decree to** prevent violation of another rabbinic **decree?** The source is **as we learned** in a mishna (*Ḥalla* 4:8): ***Ḥalla* from outside of Eretz** Yisrael, which must be eaten by a priest,
