וְאֵינוֹ חַיָּיב אֶלָּא עַד שֶׁיֹּאכַל מִן הָעֲנָבִים כְּזַיִת וְכוּ׳. תַּנָּא קַמָּא לָא מְדַמֵּי לְהוֹן לְכׇל אִיסּוּרֵי נָזִיר לִשְׁתִיָּה, וְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא, כֵּיוָן דִּכְתִיב ״וַעֲנָבִים לַחִים וִיבֵשִׁים לֹא יֹאכֵל״, מָה אֲכִילָה כְּזַיִת — אַף כֹּל אִיסּוּרִין כְּזַיִת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna taught: **And he is liable** to receive lashes **only if he eats an olive-bulk of the grapes.** The mishna continues by noting that with regard to drinking, the first *tanna* holds that a nazirite is liable for a quarter-*log*, whereas Rabbi Akiva maintains that the amount of an olive-bulk applies to liquids as well. The Gemara explains this dispute: **The first *tanna* does not liken all the** other **prohibitions of a nazirite to** the prohibition of **drinking** wine, and therefore the measurements for eating and drinking are the same as for prohibitions in other contexts: An olive-bulk of food and a quarter-*log* of drink. **And Rabbi Akiva** maintains that **since it is written: “Nor eat fresh grapes or dried”** (Numbers 6:3), this verse teaches that **just as eating** is measured by the amount of **an olive-bulk, so too, all the prohibitions** of a nazirite are measured by **an olive-bulk.**

[Nazir 38b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/38b:2)

[וְחַיָּיב עַל הַיַּיִן בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ כּוּ׳.] תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: ״וַעֲנָבִים לַחִים וִיבֵשִׁים לֹא יֹאכֵל״, לְחַיֵּיב עַל זֶה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ וְעַל זֶה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ. מִכָּאן אַתָּה דָּן לְכׇל אִיסּוּרִין שֶׁבַּתּוֹרָה: מָה כָּאן שֶׁהוּא מִין אֶחָד, וְהֵן שְׁנֵי שֵׁמוֹת, וְחַיָּיב עַל זֶה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ וְעַל זֶה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ; אַף כֹּל שֶׁהוּא מִין אֶחָד, וְהֵן שְׁנֵי שֵׁמוֹת — חַיָּיב עַל זֶה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ וְעַל זֶה בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna further taught: **And he is liable for** consuming **wine by itself,** and for grapes by themselves, and for grape seeds by themselves, and for grape skins by themselves. **The Sages taught:** The verse: **“Nor eat fresh grapes or dried”** (Numbers 6:3), serves **to render** him **liable for this by itself and for that by itself,** i.e., that he need not consume all of the grape products listed in the verses. **From here you derive** the *halakha* with regard **to all prohibitions of the Torah: Just as here there is one type** of food, grapes, **which are** called by **two names,** fresh or dried, **and he is liable for this by itself and for that by itself, so too,** in **all** cases where there **is one type and they are** called by **two names, one is liable for this by itself and for that by itself.**

[Nazir 38b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/38b:3)

לְאֵיתוֹיֵי חַמְרָא חַדְתָּא וְעִינְבֵי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara adds that in the case of a nazirite this principle serves **to include new wine,** i.e., grape juice, **and grapes.** Although these are apparently a single type, as the juice, before fermenting, is merely grapes in liquid form, nevertheless one is liable for grape juice and grapes separately, as they have different names.

[Nazir 38b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/38b:4)

אָמַר אַבָּיֵי: אָכַל חַרְצָן — לוֹקֶה שְׁתַּיִם. אָכַל זָג — לוֹקֶה שְׁתַּיִם. אָכַל חַרְצָן וְזָג — לוֹקֶה שָׁלֹשׁ. רָבָא אָמַר: אֵינוֹ לוֹקֶה אֶלָּא אַחַת, שֶׁאֵינוֹ לוֹקֶה אַלָּאו שֶׁבִּכְלָלוֹת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **Abaye says:** A nazirite who **ate a grape seed is flogged twice,** i.e., two sets of thirty-nine lashes, one set for the specific prohibition stated with regard to grape seeds, and the other for the general prohibition “anything that is made of the grapevine” (Numbers 6:4). Likewise, if he **ate a grape skin he is flogged twice.** If he **ate a grape seed and a grape skin he is flogged three** times, for the seed, for the skin, and for the prohibition “anything that is made of the grapevine.” **Rava says: He is flogged only once** if he ate a seed or a skin. He is not flogged for “anything that is made of the grapevine,” **because one is not flogged for** violating **a general prohibition.** One is not liable to receive lashes for violation of a single prohibition that includes many items or cases.

[Nazir 38b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/38b:5)

מֵתִיב רַב פָּפָּא, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: נָזִיר שֶׁהָיָה שׁוֹתֶה יַיִן כׇּל הַיּוֹם אֵינוֹ חַיָּיב אֶלָּא אַחַת. אָמְרוּ לוֹ: ״אַל תִּשְׁתֶּה״ ״אַל תִּשְׁתֶּה״, וְהוּא שׁוֹתֶה — חַיָּיב עַל כׇּל אַחַת וְאַחַת. אָכַל עֲנָבִים לַחִים וִיבֵשִׁים, חַרְצַנִּים וְזַגִּים, וְסָחַט אֶשְׁכּוֹל שֶׁל עֲנָבִים וְשָׁתָה — לוֹקֶה חָמֵשׁ. אִי הָכִי — לִילְקֵי שֵׁשׁ, אַחַת עַל ״מִכׇּל אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Pappa raised an objection** to Abaye’s statement. **Rabbi Eliezer says: A nazirite who was drinking wine all day is liable to** receive **only one** set of lashes. If two witnesses **said to him** in warning: **Do not drink, do not drink, and he** continued **drinking, he is liable for each and every one** of the warnings that was followed by an act of drinking. If he **ate grapes and raisins, grape seeds and grape skins, and squeezed a cluster of grapes and drank** the juice, **he is flogged five** times. The difficulty for Abaye is as follows: **If so,** that Abaye’s opinion is accepted, **let him be flogged six** times, to include **one** more **for** transgressing the verse **“anything that is made** of the grapevine” (Numbers 6:4).

[Nazir 38b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/38b:6)

תְּנָא וְשַׁיַּיר. מַאי שַׁיֵּיר דְּהַאי שַׁיַּיר? שַׁיַּיר ״לֹא יַחֵל דְּבָרוֹ״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Abaye responded: Rabbi Eliezer **taught** certain prohibitions **and omitted** others. He did not include all the prohibitions for which one is liable to be flogged. The Gemara asks: **What** else **did he omit that he omitted this?** He would not have listed all relevant prohibitions less one. The Gemara answers: **He** also **omitted** the additional prohibition of **“He shall not profane his word”** (Numbers 30:3), as the nazirite profaned his word by violating his vow of naziriteship.


###### Nazir 38b:7
[Nazir 38b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/38b:7)

אִי מִשּׁוּם הַאי — לָאו שִׁיּוּרָא הוּא, כִּי קָתָנֵי מִידֵּי דְּלָא אִיתֵיהּ בְּדוּכְתָּא אַחֲרִיתִי, ״לֹא יַחֵל דְּבָרוֹ״ אִיתֵיהּ בִּנְדָרִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara retorts: **If** it is **due to that** verse, this **is not an omission, as when** Rabbi Eliezer **teaches** and lists the lashes which a nazirite is liable to receive, he includes only **matters that are not** found **elsewhere,** i.e., he mentions only prohibitions that apply exclusively to a nazirite. The prohibition **“He shall not profane his word” is** relevant **to vows** in general, and therefore he omitted it. Consequently, Rabbi Eliezer should have mentioned the prohibition “anything that is made of the grapevine,” and the fact that he did not do so presents a difficulty for the opinion of Abaye.


###### Nazir 38b:8
[Nazir 38b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/38b:8)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ רָבִינָא מִפַּרְזִקְיָא לְרַב אָשֵׁי: וְהָא שַׁיַּיר דְּבֵין הַבֵּינַיִים. אֶלָּא אָמַר רַב פָּפָּא: לָא תַּנְיָא מִידֵּי חָמֵשׁ. וְהָא

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Ravina from Parzakya said to Rav Ashi: But he omitted** the case **of in between.** Rabbi Eliezer could have added that a nazirite is liable not only for the seed and skin of a grape but also for the substances in between them, as the verse: “From pits to grape skin” (Numbers 6:4), comes to include all that is in between the two (see 34b). **Rather, Rav Pappa said:** Actually, Rabbi Eliezer **did not teach anything** about **five** sets of lashes, but merely stated that he is flogged for all those actions, without enumerating the precise number. Therefore, this source does not present a difficulty for Abaye. The Gemara asks: **But**
