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

מִשְׁנָה רִאשׁוֹנָה אוֹמֶרֶת: עַד שֶׁיִּשְׁתֶּה רְבִיעִית יַיִן. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר: אֲפִילּוּ שָׁרָה פִּיתּוֹ בְּיַיִן וְיֵשׁ בָּהּ כְּדֵי לְצָרֵף כְּזַיִת — חַיָּיב, וְחַיָּיב עַל הַיַּיִן בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ, וְעַל הָעֲנָבִים בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָן, וְעַל הַחַרְצַנִּים בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָן, וְעַל הַזַּגִּים בִּפְנֵי עַצְמָן. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן עֲזַרְיָה אוֹמֵר: אֵין חַיָּיב עַד שֶׁיֹּאכַל שְׁנֵי חַרְצַנִּים וְזָג.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**An initial** version of the **mishna says** that a nazirite is liable to receive lashes **only if he drinks a quarter**-*log* of **wine. Rabbi Akiva says: Even** if he **soaked his bread in wine and** the two together **contain enough to combine** to the amount of **an olive-bulk,** he is **liable. And** furthermore, a nazirite is **liable** to receive lashes **for** consuming **wine by itself, and for grapes by themselves, and for *ḥartzannim* by themselves, and for *zaggim* by themselves,** as each of these is forbidden separately by the Torah. **Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya says: He is liable only if he eats** an olive-bulk that includes at least **two *ḥartzannim* and** one ***zag*,** in accordance with the verse “From *ḥartzannim* to *zag*” (Numbers 6:4), where the first term is in the plural and the second in the singular.


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

אֵלּוּ הֵן חַרְצַנִּים וְאֵלּוּ הֵן זַגִּים? הַחַרְצַנִּים — אֵלּוּ הַחִיצוֹנִים, הַזַּגִּים — אֵלּוּ הַפְּנִימִים, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יְהוּדָה. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, שֶׁלֹּא תִּטְעֶה: כְּזוֹג שֶׁל בְּהֵמָה; הַחִיצוֹן זוֹג, וְהַפְּנִימִי עִינְבָּל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mishna discusses the meaning of these terms: **Which** parts **are *ḥartzannim* and which are *zaggim*? The *ḥartzannim* are the outside** parts, the skin of the grape, while **the *zaggim* are the inner** parts, the seeds. This is **the statement of Rabbi Yehuda. Rabbi Yosei says:** The opposite is the case and this is the mnemonic so **that you should not err:** It is **like a bell [*zog*]** worn **by an animal,** in which **the outer** part, which corresponds to the skin of a grape, is called ***zog*, and the inner** portion of the bell, the clapper, which corresponds to the seeds in a grape, is called ***inbal*.**


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

**גְּמָ׳** שְׁלֹשָׁה מִינִין אֲסוּרִין בַּנָּזִיר: הַטּוּמְאָה כּוּ׳. הַיּוֹצֵא מִן הַגֶּפֶן — אִין. גֶּפֶן עַצְמוֹ — לָא. מַתְנִיתִין דְּלָא כְּרַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר. דְּתַנְיָא, רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר אוֹמֵר: אֲפִילּוּ עָלִין וְלוּלָבִין בַּמַּשְׁמָע.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** The mishna taught that **three types** of actions **are prohibited for a nazirite:** Contracting **ritual impurity,** shaving, and consuming products of the vine. The Gemara infers: **That which emerges from the vine, yes,** it is included in the prohibition; however, any part of **the vine itself,** other than its fruit, **no,** this is not forbidden. The Gemara comments: **The mishna is not in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Elazar.** This is **as it is taught** in a *baraita* that **Rabbi Elazar says: Even** the **leaves and tendrils** of the vine **are included** in the prohibitions of naziriteship.


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

אִיכָּא דְּאָמְרִי לַהּ אַסֵּיפָא: אֵינוֹ חַיָּיב אֶלָּא עַד שֶׁיֹּאכַל מִן הָעֲנָבִים כְּזַיִת. מִן הָעֲנָבִים — אִין, מֵהַגֶּפֶן עַצְמוֹ — לָא. מַתְנִיתִין דְּלָא כְּרַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר, דְּתַנְיָא, רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר אוֹמֵר: אֲפִילּוּ עָלִין וְלוּלָבִין בַּמַּשְׁמָע.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Some say this** statement with regard **to the latter clause** of the mishna: **He is liable** to receive lashes **only if he eats an olive-bulk of the grapes.** The Gemara infers: If he eats **from the grapes, yes,** he is liable, but if he eats **from the vine itself, no,** he is not liable. If so, **the mishna is not in accordance with** the opinion of **Rabbi Elazar.** This is **as it is taught** in a *baraita* that **Rabbi Elazar says: Even** the **leaves and tendrils are included** in the prohibition.


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

בְּמַאי קָמִיפַּלְגִי? רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר דָּרֵישׁ רִיבּוּיֵי וּמִיעוּטֵי, רַבָּנַן דָּרְשִׁי כְּלָלֵי וּפְרָטֵי. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר דָּרֵישׁ רִבּוּיֵי וּמִיעוּטֵי: ״מִיַּיִן וְשֵׁכָר יַזִּיר״ — מִיעֵט, ״מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר יֵעָשֶׂה מִגֶּפֶן הַיַּיִן״ — רִיבָּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **With regard to what do** Rabbi Elazar and the Rabbis **disagree;** what is the basis of their dispute? The Gemara explains: **Rabbi Elazar interprets** the verses employing the hermeneutical principle of **amplifications and restrictions,** while **the Rabbis interpret** them employing the hermeneutical principle of **generalizations and details.** The Gemara clarifies: **Rabbi Elazar interprets** the verses employing the principle of **amplifications and restrictions,** as the phrase: **“He shall abstain from wine and strong drink”** (Numbers 6:3), **restricts** the prohibition to wine and strong drink, and the subsequent phrase: **“Anything that is made of the grapevine”** (Numbers 6:4), **amplifies** the prohibition.


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

מִיעֵט וְרִיבָּה, רִיבָּה הַכֹּל. מַאי רִיבָּה — רִיבָּה כֹּל מִילֵּי. מַאי מִיעֵט — מִיעֵט שְׁבִישָׁתָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara elaborates: In this manner, the Torah **restricts and amplifies,** which, according to the principles of exegesis, **amplifies** and includes virtually **all** substances. **What** does it **amplify** and include? It **amplifies** and includes **all matters** and substances that come from the vine. **What** does it **restrict?** After all, the phrase “He shall abstain from wine and strong drink” must be excluding something. According to this interpretation, the verse **restricts** only one part of a vine, **the branches.** A nazirite who eats the branches of the vine has not committed a transgression.


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

וְרַבָּנַן דָּרְשִׁי כְּלָלֵי וּפְרָטֵי: ״מִיַּיִן וְשֵׁכָר יַזִּיר״ — פָּרַט, ״מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר יֵעָשֶׂה מִגֶּפֶן הַיַּיִן״ — כָּלַל, ״מֵחַרְצַנִּים וְעַד זָג״ — חָזַר וּפָרַט. פְּרָט וּכְלָל וּפְרָט, אִי אַתָּה דָן אֶלָּא כְּעֵין הַפְּרָט: מָה הַפְּרָט מְפוֹרָשׁ פְּרִי וּפְסוֹלֶת פְּרִי — אַף כֹּל פְּרִי וּפְסוֹלֶת פְּרִי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** conversely, **the Rabbis interpret** the verses employing the principle of **generalizations and details,** as the phrase **“He shall abstain from wine and strong drink”** (Numbers 6:3) is an example of **a detail,** the phrase **“anything that is made of the grapevine”** (Numbers 6:4) is **a generalization,** and when the verse continues: **“From pits to grape skin,”** it has given an example of **a detail again.** This is **a detail, and a generalization, and a detail.** According to this exegetical method, **you may deduce** that the verse is referring **only** to items **similar to the detail: Just as** the items mentioned in **the detail** are clearly **defined as a fruit or fruit waste,** i.e., grape seeds or skins, **so too, everything** forbidden by the generalization is **a fruit or fruit waste,** but not leaves or tendrils, as maintained by Rabbi Elazar.


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

אִי: מָה הַפְּרָט מְפוֹרָשׁ פְּרִי גָּמוּר — אַף כֹּל פְּרִי גָּמוּר. אָמַרְתָּ: אִם כֵּן מָה הִנִּיחַ לְךָ הַכָּתוּב בְּמַשְׁמָעוֹ שֶׁלֹּא אֲמָרוֹ? עֲנָבִים לַחִים וִיבֵשִׁים — הָא כְּתִיבִי? יַיִן וָחוֹמֶץ — הָא כְּתִיבִי? הָא אֵין עָלֶיךָ לָדוּן כְּלָשׁוֹן אַחֲרוֹן, אֶלָּא כְּלָשׁוֹן רִאשׁוֹן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **If** so, one can suggest an alternative derivation: **Just as** the items mentioned in **the detail** are clearly **defined as a complete,** i.e., ripe, **fruit, so too, everything** forbidden must be **a complete fruit,** excluding unripe fruit. Why, according to the Rabbis, are unripe grapes included in the prohibition? **You** will **say** the following counterargument: **If so, what has the verse left you** to derive **from its meaning that it has not stated?** If you say **grapes and raisins,** these are explicitly **written;** if you say **wine and vinegar,** these are also **written.** What, then, does the generalization come to add? Evidently, **you cannot learn in accordance with the last version,** which excludes unripe fruit; **rather,** you must learn **in accordance with the first version,** which includes this fruit and excludes only leaves and tendrils.


###### Nazir 34b:9
[Nazir 34b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/34b:9)

וּמֵאַחַר שֶׁסּוֹפֵינוּ לְרַבּוֹת כׇּל דָּבָר, מָה תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר ״מֵחַרְצַנִּים וְעַד זָג״? לוֹמַר לָךְ: כׇּל מָקוֹם שֶׁאַתָּה מוֹצֵא פְּרָט וּכְלָל — אִי אַתָּה רַשַּׁאי לְמׇשְׁכוֹ וּלְדוּנוֹ כְּעֵין הַפְּרָט.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **And as we eventually include everything** that is similar to the detail of fruit and the waste of fruit, **what** is the meaning when **the verse states: “From pits to grape skin”?** This serves **to tell you** a general principle of exegesis that applies throughout the Torah: **Wherever you find** only **a detail and a generalization, you cannot broaden it and learn** that the generalization is limited to be **like the detail,** by saying that the generalization merely clarifies the previous detail.


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

אֶלָּא נַעֲשֶׂה כְּלָל מוּסָף עַל הַפְּרָט, עַד שֶׁיִּפְרוֹט לְךָ הַכָּתוּב, כְּדֶרֶךְ שֶׁפָּרַט לְךָ בַּנָּזִיר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rather, the generalization becomes added to the detail** so that it includes all matters, even those dissimilar to the detail, **until the verse specifies** and adds another detail after the generalization, **in the manner that it specified with regard to a nazirite,** by inserting the phrase “from pits to grape skin” after “anything that is made of the grapevine.” The exegetical method of: A detail, a generalization, and a detail, means that the generalization includes only something that is similar to the detail. In this particular example, leaves and tendrils are excluded.


###### Nazir 34b:11
[Nazir 34b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/34b:11)

אָמַר מָר: מָה הַפְּרָט מְפוֹרָשׁ פְּרִי וּפְסוֹלֶת פְּרִי — אַף כֹּל פְּרִי וּפְסוֹלֶת פְּרִי. ״פְּרִי״ — עִינְבֵי, ״פְּסוֹלֶת פְּרִי״ מַאי הִיא — חוֹמֶץ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara analyzes the details of this *baraita*. **The Master said** above: **Just as** the items mentioned in **the detail** are clearly **defined as a fruit or fruit waste, so too everything** forbidden to the nazirite by the Torah is **a fruit or fruit waste.** The Gemara clarifies: **The fruit** mentioned by the Torah is **grapes. What is fruit waste? Vinegar,** as in the verse: “He shall drink no vinegar of wine or vinegar of strong drink” (Numbers 6:3).


###### Nazir 34b:12
[Nazir 34b:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/34b:12)

״אַף כֹּל פְּרִי״ מַאי הִיא — גּוּהַרְקֵי. ״אַף כֹּל״ דִּפְסוֹלֶת פְּרִי, מַאי הִיא? אָמַר רַב כָּהֲנָא: לְאֵיתוֹיֵי עִינְבֵי דִּכְרִין. ״וְעַד זָג״, אָמַר רָבִינָא: לְאֵיתוֹיֵי דְּבֵין הַבֵּינַיִם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**What is** the statement: **So too everything** forbidden by the generalization is **a fruit,** serving to include? It serves to include **unripe** grapes. And **what is** the statement: **So too everything** forbidden by the generalization is a fruit or fruit waste, stated with regard **to fruit waste,** serving to include? Which fruit waste unspecified by the verse is added by means of this derivation? **Rav Kahana said:** This serves **to include grapes that have become wormy.** With regard to the phrase “from pits **to grape skin,” Ravina said:** This serves **to include** the part of the fruit **that** is **in between** the seeds and the skin.


###### Nazir 34b:13
[Nazir 34b:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/34b:13)

אָמַר מָר: [אִי] מָה הַפְּרָט מְפוֹרָשׁ פְּרִי גָּמוּר — אַף כֹּל פְּרִי גָּמוּר. אָמַרְתָּ: אִם כֵּן מָה הִנִּיחַ הַכָּתוּב בְּמַשְׁמָעוֹ שֶׁלֹּא אֲמָרוֹ? עֲנָבִים לַחִים וִיבֵשִׁים — הָא כְּתִיבִי, יַיִן וָחוֹמֶץ — הָא כְּתִיבִי, הָא אֵין עָלֶיךָ לָדוּן כְּלָשׁוֹן אַחֲרוֹן אֶלָּא כְּלָשׁוֹן רִאשׁוֹן. וּמֵאַחַר שֶׁסּוֹפֵינוּ לְרַבּוֹת כׇּל דָּבָר, מַה תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר ״מֵחַרְצַנִּים וְעַד זָג״? לוֹמַר לָךְ: כׇּל מָקוֹם שֶׁאַתָּה מוֹצֵא פְּרָט וּכְלָל, אִי אַתָּה רַשַּׁאי לְמוֹשְׁכוֹ וּלְדוּנוֹ כְּעֵין הַפְּרָט, אֶלָּא נַעֲשֶׂה כְּלָל מוּסָף עַל הַפְּרָט, עַד שֶׁיִּפְרוֹט לְךָ הַכָּתוּב

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara continues to analyze the *baraita*, which it cites at length. **The Master said** above: **If** so, **just as** the items mentioned in **the detail** are clearly **defined as a complete fruit, so too everything** is **a complete fruit. You say: If so, what has the verse left you** to derive **from its meaning that it has not stated? Grapes and raisins,** these are **written; wine and vinegar,** these are **written. You cannot learn in accordance with the last version; rather,** you must learn **in accordance with the first version. And as we eventually include everything, what** is the meaning when **the verse states: “From pit to grape skin”?** This serves **to tell you** that **wherever you find a detail and a generalization, you cannot broaden it and learn** that the generalization is limited to be **like the detail; rather, the generalization becomes added to the detail, until the verse specifies for you**
