## Nazir Daf 2b

###### Nazir 2b:1
[Nazir 2b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/2b:1)

גַּבֵּי ״יֵשׁ נוֹחֲלִין״ נָמֵי, מְפָרֵשׁ עִיקַּר נַחֲלָה בְּרֵישָׁא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Similarly, **with regard to** the mishna that teaches that **there are** some relatives who **inherit** and bequeath, the *tanna* **also** had a reason for initially providing examples from the first category: He thereby **explains the principal** case of the Torah’s *halakhot* of **inheritance first.**


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

אֶלָּא [הָכָא] לִפְרוֹשׁ כִּינּוּיֵי בְּרֵישָׁא! אֶלָּא הַיְינוּ טַעַם: יָדוֹת, הוֹאִיל וְאָתְיָין לֵיהּ מִדְּרָשָׁא, חֲבִיבִין לֵיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara now returns to its question: **But here, let** the *tanna* **explain** the cases of **substitutes first.** The Gemara explains: **Rather, this is** the **reason: Since intimations are derived from** the **exposition** of verses and are not explicitly mentioned in the Torah, they are **dear to** the *tanna* and he therefore mentions them first.


###### Nazir 2b:3
[Nazir 2b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/2b:3)

וְלִיפְתַּח בְּהוֹן בְּרֵישָׁא! תַּנָּא כִּי מַתְחִיל — מַתְחִיל בְּעִיקַּר קׇרְבָּן, וּלְעִנְיַן פָּירוּשֵׁי — מְפָרֵשׁ יָדוֹת בְּרֵישָׁא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **But** if that is so, then **let him begin with them first** in the opening clause of the mishna as well. The Gemara answers: **When** the ***tanna* begins, he begins with the main offering** of the nazirite, i.e., with the *halakha* that has a basis in the Torah. **But with regard** to the **explanation** of these *halakhot*, **he explains** the cases of **intimations first,** as he favors that topic.


###### Nazir 2b:4
[Nazir 2b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/2b:4)

הָאוֹמֵר ״אֱהֵא״ — הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר. דִּלְמָא ״אֱהֵא בְּתַעֲנִית״ קָאָמַר? אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: כְּגוֹן שֶׁהָיָה נָזִיר עוֹבֵר לְפָנָיו.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna taught: **One who says: I will be, is a nazirite.** The Gemara asks: **Perhaps he is saying: I will be fasting,** i.e., his intention is to take a vow that will obligate himself to fast rather than to be a nazirite. The Gemara answers that **Shmuel said:** The mishna is describing a case **where a nazirite was passing before him,** so that it is clear that he is taking a nazirite vow.


###### Nazir 2b:5
[Nazir 2b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/2b:5)

לֵימָא קָסָבַר שְׁמוּאֵל יָדַיִם שֶׁאֵינָן מוֹכִיחוֹת לָא הָוְויָין יָדַיִם? אָמְרִי: בִּזְמַן שֶׁנָּזִיר עוֹבֵר לְפָנָיו לֵיכָּא לְסַפּוֹקֵא בְּמִילְּתָא אַחֲרִינָא. אֲבָל וַדַּאי אֵין הַנָּזִיר עוֹבֵר לְפָנָיו, אָמְרִינַן: דִּלְמָא ״אֱהֵא בְּתַעֲנִית״ קָאָמַר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **Shall we say** that **Shmuel holds** as a principle that **ambiguous intimations are not** considered **intimations,** i.e., they are not considered vows? The Gemara rejects this suggestion: **Say** that **when a nazirite is passing before him, there is no** reason **to doubt** his intention. There is no possibility that he is referring **to another matter,** and therefore his statement is definitely an intimation of naziriteship. **However,** it is **certainly** the case that when **a nazirite is not passing before him,** and he states: I will be, **we say** that **perhaps he is saying: I will be fasting.** It is only in the latter case, where one’s intimation is so ambiguous that it offers no evidence whatsoever of his intentions, that Shmuel holds that one’s statement is not considered a vow.


###### Nazir 2b:6
[Nazir 2b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/2b:6)

וְדִלְמָא לְפוֹטְרוֹ מִן קׇרְבְּנוֹתָיו קָאָמַר? דְּקָאָמַר בְּלִבּוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **But** even if he made his statement when a nazirite was passing before him, **perhaps he was saying** that he intends to purchase the animals the nazirite will need for his offerings and thereby **exempt** the nazirite **from** paying for **his** own **offerings.** The Gemara answers: This is a case **where he said in his heart** that he accepts upon himself a nazirite vow.


###### Nazir 2b:7
[Nazir 2b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/2b:7)

אִי הָכִי, מַאי לְמֵימְרָא! מַהוּ דְּתֵימָא: בָּעִינַן פִּיו וְלִבּוֹ שָׁוִין, קָא מַשְׁמַע לַן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **If that is so,** then **what** is the purpose **of stating** this *halakha*? Isn’t it obvious that he becomes a nazirite? The Gemara answers: It is necessary to state this *halakha*, **lest you say** that **we require his mouth and heart** to be **identical.** If that were the case, then if one did not clearly articulate his nazirite vow, he would not become a nazirite even if he intended to become one. Therefore, the mishna **teaches us** that since his words can be interpreted as referring to a nazirite vow, and that was his intention, he becomes a nazirite.


###### Nazir 2b:8
[Nazir 2b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/2b:8)

״אֱהֵא נָאֶה״ — נָזִיר. וְדִלְמָא: אֶנָּאֶה לְפָנָיו בְּמִצְוֹת? כִּדְתַנְיָא: ״זֶה אֵלִי וְאַנְוֵהוּ״ — אֶנָּאֶה לְפָנָיו בְּמִצְוֹת. אֶעֱשֶׂה לְפָנָיו סוּכָּה נָאָה, לוּלָב נָאֶה, צִיצִית נָאָה, אֶכְתּוֹב לְפָנָיו סֵפֶר תּוֹרָה נָאֶה וְאֶכְרְכֶנּוּ בְּשִׁירָאִין נָאִים!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna taught that if one says: **I will be beautiful [*na’e*],** he is **a nazirite.** The Gemara asks: **But perhaps** when he said: I will be beautiful, he meant: **I will be beautiful before Him in mitzvot? As it is taught** in a *baraita*: **“This is my God and I will glorify Him [*anvehu*]”** (Exodus 15:2). *Anvehu* has the same root as the word *na’e*; therefore, the verse means: **I will be beautiful before Him in mitzvot.** How is this done? **I will make before Him a beautiful *sukka*, a beautiful *lulav*, beautiful ritual fringes. I will write before Him a beautiful Torah scroll, and I will wrap it in beautiful silk cloths [*shira’in*].**


###### Nazir 2b:9
[Nazir 2b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/2b:9)

אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: שֶׁתָּפוּס בִּשְׂעָרוֹ, וְאָמַר ״אֶנָּאֶה״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers that **Shmuel said:** The mishna is referring to a case **where one is holding his hair and says: I will be beautiful.** This clearly indicates that he is referring to naziriteship.


###### Nazir 2b:10
[Nazir 2b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/2b:10)

נְזִירָא מִילְּתָא דַעֲבֵירָה, וְאָמְרִינַן לֵיהּ ״נָאֶה״?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: Since **naziriteship** is **a matter of transgression,** can **we say about** a nazirite that he is **beautiful?**
