[Nazir 16b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/16b:1)

קָסָבַר רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר: כׇּל אַחַר מְלֹאת שִׁבְעָה — סוֹתֵר. ״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם״, וְנִטְמָא יוֹם שְׁלֹשִׁים — סוֹתֵר אֶת הַכֹּל, לָא פְּלִיג רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר דְּאָמַר שְׁלֵימִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara explains: **Rabbi Eliezer holds** that when **anyone** becomes ritually impure **after the completion** of his term of naziriteship, but before he brought his offerings, only **seven** days are **negated,** and the thirtieth day is after the completion of his term. The mishna then teaches that one who said: **I am hereby a nazirite** for **thirty days, and became impure** on the **thirtieth day, it negates the entire** tally. **Rabbi Eliezer does not disagree** in this case, since it is an instance **where he** explicitly **said that** he accepts naziriteship on himself for **a full** thirty days, and his ritual impurity therefore occurs during his naziriteship period.


###### Nazir 16b:2
[Nazir 16b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/16b:2)

״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר מֵאָה יוֹם״, וְנִטְמָא יוֹם מֵאָה — סוֹתֵר אֶת הַכֹּל, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: אֵינוֹ סוֹתֵר אֶלָּא שְׁלֹשִׁים. וְכוּלָּהּ כְּדַהֲוֵינַן בָּהּ אַלִּיבָּא דְּבַר פַּדָּא וְרַב מַתְנָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mishna also taught that if one said: **I am hereby a nazirite** for **one hundred days, and he became impure** on the **one hundredth day, it negates the entire** tally. **Rabbi Eliezer says it negates only thirty. And this entire** mishna should be explained **as we discussed it, in accordance with** the opinions **of bar Padda and Rav Mattana** earlier (5a–6b).


###### Nazir 16b:3
[Nazir 16b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/16b:3)

**מַתְנִי׳** מִי שֶׁנָּזַר וְהוּא בְּבֵית הַקְּבָרוֹת, אֲפִילּוּ הָיָה שָׁם שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם — אֵין עוֹלִין לוֹ מִן הַמִּנְיָן, וְאֵינוֹ מֵבִיא קׇרְבַּן טוּמְאָה. יָצָא וְנִכְנַס — עוֹלִין לוֹ מִן הַמִּנְיָן, וּמֵבִיא קׇרְבַּן טוּמְאָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **One who took a vow of naziriteship while in a cemetery, even if he was there** for a full **thirty days** without leaving, those days he spent in the cemetery **do not count** as part **of his tally,** since his naziriteship has not yet gone into effect. **And he** therefore **does not bring** the three **offerings of impurity,** brought by a nazirite when rendered ritually impure by contact with a corpse, despite having been in a cemetery. If **he left** the cemetery **and entered** it again, those days **do count** as part **of his tally,** meaning the naziriteship takes effect, **and he does bring the offerings of impurity** for reentering the cemetery.


###### Nazir 16b:4
[Nazir 16b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/16b:4)

רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: לֹא בּוֹ בַיּוֹם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״וְהַיָּמִים הָרִאשׁוֹנִים יִפְּלוּ״, עַד שֶׁיְּהוּ לוֹ יָמִים רִאשׁוֹנִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Eliezer says:** This *halakha* does **not** apply to one who entered the cemetery **on the very day** that he left it, **as it is stated** with regard to the *halakhot* of a ritually impure nazirite: **“But the first days shall be void”** (Numbers 6:12), which indicates that he does not bring the offerings **until he will have “first days”** of purity, during which he observed his naziriteship.

[Nazir 16b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/16b:5)

**גְּמָ׳** אִיתְּמַר, מִי שֶׁנָּזַר וְהוּא בְּבֵית הַקְּבָרוֹת, רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר: נְזִירוּת חָלָה עָלָיו, וְרֵישׁ לָקִישׁ אָמַר: אֵין נְזִירוּת חָלָה עָלָיו. רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר נְזִירוּת חָלָה עָלָיו, סָבַר: מִיתְּלָא תַּלְיָא וְקָיְימָא, כֵּיוָן דְּמַשְׁכְּחָא טׇהֳרָה, חָיְילָא. וְרֵישׁ לָקִישׁ אָמַר: אֵין נְזִירוּת חָלָה עָלָיו. אִי הָדַר וְאָמַר — חָיְילָא עֲלֵיהּ, וְאִי לָא — לָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **It was stated** that the *amora’im* disagree with regard to **one who vowed to be a nazirite** while **in a cemetery. Rabbi Yoḥanan said: Naziriteship takes effect for him, and Reish Lakish said: Naziriteship does not take effect for him.** The Gemara clarifies their respective opinions: **Rabbi Yoḥanan,** who **said naziriteship takes effect for him, holds** that from the moment he accepts naziriteship upon himself it is **pending,** so that **when** it **is found** that he is in a state of **ritual purity** it **takes** immediate **effect.** The vow registers from when he states it, but it cannot take effect in practice as long as he stands in a ritually impure location. **And Reish Lakish said** that **naziriteship does not take effect for him** at all. Consequently, **if** he **again said** after leaving the cemetery that he accepts a vow of naziriteship, **it takes effect for him; but if** he does **not** repeat his vow, he is **not** a nazirite.


###### Nazir 16b:6
[Nazir 16b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/16b:6)

אֵיתִיבֵיהּ רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן לְרֵישׁ לָקִישׁ: מִי שֶׁנָּזַר וְהוּא בְּבֵית הַקְּבָרוֹת, אֲפִילּוּ הָיָה שָׁם שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם — אֵין עוֹלִין מִן הַמִּנְיָן, וְאֵינוֹ מֵבִיא קׇרְבַּן טוּמְאָה. קׇרְבַּן טוּמְאָה הוּא דְּלָא מַיְיתֵי, הָא מֵיחָל — חָיְילָא עֲלֵיהּ! אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אֵינוֹ בְּתוֹרַת טוּמְאָה, וְאֵינוֹ בְּתוֹרַת קׇרְבָּן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Yoḥanan raised an objection to** the opinion of **Reish Lakish** from the mishna: **One who took a vow of naziriteship while in a cemetery, even if he was there** for a full **thirty days** without leaving, those days he spent in the cemetery **do not count** as part **of the tally,** since his naziriteship has not yet gone into effect. **And he** therefore **does not bring the offerings of impurity** despite having been in a cemetery. Rabbi Yoḥanan infers from this: **It is the offerings of impurity that he does not bring, but** as far as the issue of the naziriteship **taking effect, it does take effect for him.** Reish Lakish **said to him:** It means **he is not** included **in the law of** prohibited **ritual impurity, and** therefore **he is not** included **in the law of the offerings.** He is not a nazirite at all.


###### Nazir 16b:7
[Nazir 16b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/16b:7)

אֵיתִיבֵיהּ: מִי שֶׁהָיָה טָמֵא וְנָזַר, אָסוּר לְגַלֵּחַ וְלִשְׁתּוֹת יַיִן וְלִיטָּמֵא לְמֵתִים. וְאִם גִּילַּח וְשָׁתָה יַיִן וְנִטְמָא לְמֵתִים — הֲרֵי זֶה סוֹפֵג אֶת הָאַרְבָּעִים. אִי אָמְרַתְּ בִּשְׁלָמָא חָיְילָא — הַיְינוּ טַעְמָא דְּסוֹפֵג אֶת הָאַרְבָּעִים, אֶלָּא אִי אָמְרַתְּ לָא חָיְילָא, אַמַּאי סוֹפֵג אֶת הָאַרְבָּעִים?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabbi Yoḥanan **raised an objection to** the opinion of Reish Lakish from what was taught in a *baraita* (*Tosefta* 2:14): **One who was impure and took a vow of naziriteship** must still observe the *halakhot* of a nazirite: He is **prohibited from shaving, and from drinking wine, and from becoming impure from a corpse. And if he shaved, or** if he **drank wine, or** if **he became impure from a corpse, he incurs [*sofeg*] the forty** lashes administered to one who actively transgresses a negative Torah prohibition. Rabbi Yoḥanan asks: **Granted, if you say** that naziriteship **takes effect** despite his ritual impurity, **that is the reason that he incurs the forty** lashes, similar to any nazirite who transgresses the prohibitions of naziriteship. **But if you say** the naziriteship **does not take effect** while he is ritually impure, **why does he incur the forty** lashes?
