###### Nazir 41b:1
[Nazir 41b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nazir/r/41b:1)

וְאִי כְּתַב ״רֹאשׁוֹ״ וְלָא כְּתַב ״זְקָנוֹ״, הֲוָה אָמֵינָא: מַשְׁמַע תַּרְתֵּי: דְּאָתֵי עֲשֵׂה וְדָחֵי אֶת לֹא תַעֲשֶׂה, וּמַשְׁמַע דְּהַקָּפַת כׇּל הָרֹאשׁ שְׁמָהּ הַקָּפָה. וְאַכַּתִּי בְּתַעַר מְנָלַן? לְהָכִי כְּתַב רַחֲמָנָא ״זְקָנוֹ״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And had** the Torah **written** only: **“His head,” and not written: “His beard,” I would say** that “his head” **teaches two** matters. First, **that a positive** mitzva **comes and overrides a prohibition. And it** also **teaches that rounding the entire head is called rounding. And still, from where do we** derive that a leper must shave **with a razor? For this** reason **the Merciful One** also **wrote: “His beard,”** and we derive from the prohibition that bars priests from destroying their beards that the removal of the beard involves the use of a razor.

וְרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר, דְּאָתֵי עֲשֵׂה וְדָחֵי אֶת לֹא תַעֲשֶׂה מְנָלֵיהּ? יָלֵיף מִ״גְּדִילִים״. דְּתַנְיָא: ״לֹא תִלְבַּשׁ שַׁעַטְנֵז״,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **And Rabbi Eliezer, from where does he** derive the general principle **that a positive** mitzva **will come and override a prohibition?** The Gemara answers: He **derives** it **from** the mitzva of ritual **fringes. As it is taught** in a *baraita*: This verse: **“You shall not wear diverse kinds** of wool and linen” (Deuteronomy 22:11),
