## Nazir Daf 34a

###### Nazir 34a:1
[Nazir 34a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/34a:1)

אִילֵימָא רַבִּי טַרְפוֹן — מִי הָוֵי נָזִיר? כֵּיוָן דִּבְשַׁעְתָּא דְּקָא נָזַר לָא יָדַע אִי פְּלוֹנִי הוּא וְאִי לָא, מִי חָלָה עֲלֵיהּ נְזִירוּת? וְהָתַנְיָא, רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר מִשּׁוּם רַבִּי טַרְפוֹן: אֵין אֶחָד מֵהֶן נָזִיר, לְפִי שֶׁלֹּא נִתְּנָה נְזִירוּת אֶלָּא לְהַפְלָאָה!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**If we say** it is the opinion of **Rabbi Tarfon,** even in a case where the individual in question came before us and identified himself, **is** the one who claimed to know his identity **a nazirite? Since at the time when he vowed he did not know whether** the subject of their debate **is so-and-so or not, does naziriteship take effect with regard to him? But isn’t it taught** in a *baraita* (*Tosefta* 3:19) that **Rabbi Yehuda says in the name of Rabbi Tarfon:** In the case of the mishna **not one of** the six people **is a nazirite, since naziriteship is imposed** upon someone **only if** the vow is stated with **explicitness [*hafla’a*]**. The Torah says that a vow must be “clearly” pronounced, as the verse states: “When either man or woman shall clearly utter [*yafli*] a vow, the vow of a nazirite” (Numbers 6:2). This verse indicates that his vow is valid only if it is explicit.


###### Nazir 34a:2
[Nazir 34a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/34a:2)

אֶלָּא רַבִּי יְהוּדָה דִּכְרִי הוּא. דְּתַנְיָא: ״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר עַל מְנָת שֶׁיְּהֵא בַּכְּרִי הַזֶּה מֵאָה כּוֹר״, וְהָלַךְ וּמְצָאוֹ שֶׁנִּגְנַב אוֹ שֶׁאָבַד — רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹסֵר, וְרַבִּי יְהוּדָה מַתִּיר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rather,** the mishna represents the opinion of **Rabbi Yehuda, as** stated with regard to **a heap** of grain. **As it is taught** in a *baraita* (*Tosefta* 2:9): If someone said: **I am hereby a nazirite on the condition that this heap** of grain **contains one hundred *kor*,** a measurement of volume, **and** when **he went** to measure it **he discovered that** the heap **was stolen or lost,** so that the amount it held cannot be determined, **Rabbi Shimon deems** him **prohibited** in all the *halakhot* of naziriteship, as the heap might have contained one hundred *kor*. **And Rabbi Yehuda deems him permitted,** as he maintains that the *halakha* is lenient in cases of uncertain naziriteship. Rabbi Yehuda’s reasoning applies equally to the case of the mishna.


###### Nazir 34a:3
[Nazir 34a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/34a:3)

רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן סָבַר כֵּיוָן דְּאִילּוּ לֹא נִגְנַב, דִּלְמָא הֲווֹ בֵּיהּ מְאָה כּוֹר וְהָוֵי נָזִיר — הַשְׁתָּא נָמֵי הָוֵי נָזִיר. וְהָכָא נָמֵי כֵּיוָן דְּאִי אֲתָא לְקַמַּן וְיָדְעִינַן דִּפְלוֹנִי הֲוַאי, הָוֵי נָזִיר — הַשְׁתָּא נָמֵי הָוֵי נָזִיר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
As for **Rabbi Shimon,** who disputes the ruling of the mishna, he **holds** with regard to the heap of grain: **Since if** the heap had **not been stolen perhaps it might have contained one hundred *kor* and he** would have been **a nazirite, now too, he is a nazirite** due to the uncertainty. **And here too,** in the case of the mishna, **since if** that person would have **come before us and we** would have **known that he was so-and-so,** the one who took the vow **would have been a nazirite,** consequently, **now too, he is a nazirite** as a result of the uncertainty cast by the unknown identity of the individual.


###### Nazir 34a:4
[Nazir 34a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/34a:4)

**מַתְנִי׳** רָאָה אֶת הַכּוֹי וְאָמַר: ״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שֶׁזֶּה חַיָּה״, ״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שֶׁזֶּה אֵינוֹ חַיָּה״, ״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שֶׁזֶּה בְּהֵמָה״, ״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שֶׁאֵין זֶה בְּהֵמָה״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** Someone **saw a kosher animal with characteristics of both a domesticated animal and a non-domesticated animal [*koy*], and said: I am hereby a nazirite if this is a non-domesticated animal;** and another individual said: **I am hereby a nazirite if this is not a non-domesticated animal;** and a third person said: **I am hereby a nazirite if this is a domesticated animal;** and a fourth said: **I am hereby a nazirite if this not a domesticated animal.**


###### Nazir 34a:5
[Nazir 34a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/34a:5)

״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שֶׁזֶּה חַיָּה וּבְהֵמָה״, ״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שֶׁאֵין זֶה לֹא חַיָּה וְלֹא בְּהֵמָה״, ״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שֶׁאֶחָד מִכֶּם נָזִיר״, ״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שֶׁאֵין אֶחָד מִכֶּם נָזִיר״, ״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שֶׁכּוּלְּכֶם נְזִירִין״ — הֲרֵי כּוּלָּן נְזִירִין.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mishna continues: A fifth person added: **I am hereby a nazirite if this is a non-domesticated animal and a domesticated animal,** and a sixth person said: **I am hereby a nazirite if this is neither a non-domesticated animal nor a domesticated animal.** Someone who heard all the above statements said: **I am hereby a nazirite if one of you is a nazirite,** and another one stated: **I am hereby a nazirite if not one of you is a nazirite,** and a final person said: **I am hereby a nazirite if all of you are nazirites.** In this case, **they are all nazirites.**


###### Nazir 34a:6
[Nazir 34a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/34a:6)

**גְּמָ׳** תָּנֵי חֲדָא: תִּשְׁעָה נְזִירִים, וְתַנְיָא אִידַּךְ: תֵּשַׁע נְזִירִיּוֹת. בִּשְׁלָמָא תִּשְׁעָה נְזִירִין — כְּגוֹן דְּהָוֵי גַּבְרֵי טְפֵי, דְּאִיתְּפִיס וְאָזֵיל בֵּיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** With regard to the ruling of the mishna that they are all nazirites, it **is taught** in **one** *baraita* that this case involves a total of **nine nazirites, and** it **is taught** in **the other** *baraita* that there are **nine** sets of **naziriteship** here. The Gemara clarifies: **Granted,** one can understand the *baraita* that says that there are **nine nazirites, for example, if there were many people who associated** their naziriteship with the status of **this** *koy*, each with one of the statements listed above.


###### Nazir 34a:7
[Nazir 34a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/34a:7)

אֶלָּא תֵּשַׁע נְזִירִיּוֹת לְחַד גַּבְרָא הֵיכִי מַשְׁכַּחַתְּ לַהּ? בִּשְׁלָמָא שֵׁית מַשְׁכַּחַתְּ לַהּ, כְּדִתְנַן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**However, how can you find these** circumstances of **nine** sets of **naziriteship in one person? Granted, you find six, as we learned** in the mishna that there are six ways in which the nature of a *koy* can be expressed: It is a non-domesticated animal; it is not a non-domesticated animal; it is a domesticated animal; it is not a domesticated animal; is a non-domesticated animal and a domesticated animal; it is neither a non-domesticated animal nor a domesticated animal. One person could associate his acceptance of naziriteship with all of the above possibilities.


###### Nazir 34a:8
[Nazir 34a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/34a:8)

אֲבָל תְּלָת הֵיכִי מַשְׁכַּחַתְּ לַהּ! אָמַר רַב שֵׁשֶׁת: כְּגוֹן דְּאָמַר ״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר, וּנְזִירוּת הַכֹּל עָלַי״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**However, how can you find these** circumstances of the other **three** sets of naziriteship? The statements: If one of you is a nazirite, and: If one of you is not a nazirite, are necessarily expressed by individuals who did not make the initial six statements, as these last three statements address the group of people who made the first six statements. **Rav Sheshet said:** It is possible in a case **where** nine people issued the statements mentioned in the mishna, and someone **said: I am hereby a nazirite and the naziriteship of all of them are** incumbent **upon me.** Since each of the nine people is obligated to observe a term of naziriteship, this last one is obligated to observe nine terms.

[Nazir 34a:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/34a:10)

**שְׁלֹשָׁה מִינִין** אֲסוּרִין בַּנָּזִיר: הַטּוּמְאָה, וְהַתִּגְלַחַת, וְהַיּוֹצֵא מִן הַגֶּפֶן. וְכׇל הַיּוֹצֵא מִן הַגֶּפֶן מִצְטָרְפִין זֶה עִם זֶה. וְאֵין חַיָּיב עַד שֶׁיֹּאכַל מִן הָעֲנָבִים כַּזַּיִת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** **Three types** of actions **are prohibited for a nazirite: The** contraction of **ritual impurity** from a corpse, **and the shaving** of one’s hair, **and** eating or drinking any substances **that emerge from the vine.** The mishna adds: **And all** products **that emerge from the vine combine with one another** to the amount that renders a nazirite liable to receive lashes. **And he is liable only if he eats an olive-bulk of the grapes.**
