## Nedarim Daf 2a

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

**כָּל כִּינּוּיֵי** נְדָרִים — כִּנְדָרִים,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** When an individual takes a vow, he renders an object forbidden to himself or to others as though it were a sacrificial offering; this parallels the act of consecrating an offering, which also renders an item forbidden for personal use by means of a verbal declaration. The most direct expression of a vow is when an individual says: This object is forbidden to me, or to others, like an offering. Additionally, the mishna states that **all substitutes** for the language **of vows are like vows.** Consequently, if one states that an object is forbidden to him like a *konam* instead of like an offering [*korban*], the vow takes effect, as *konam* is a substitute term for the word *korban* (see 10a).


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

וַחֲרָמִים — כַּחֲרָמִים, וּשְׁבוּעוֹת — כִּשְׁבוּעוֹת, וּנְזִירוּת — כִּנְזִירוּת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Similarly, substitutes for the language of **dedications are like dedications,** substitutes for the language of **oaths are like oaths, and** substitutes for the language of **nazirite** vows **are like nazirite** vows. Therefore, if one declared a *ḥerekh* instead of a dedication [*ḥerem*], a *shevuta* instead of an oath [*shevua*], or proclaimed that he was becoming a *nazik* instead of a nazirite [*nazir*], his statement takes effect.


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

הָאוֹמֵר לַחֲבֵרוֹ ״מוּדְּרַנִי מִמָּךְ״, ״מוּפְרְשַׁנִי מִמָּךְ״, ״מְרוּחֲקַנִי מִמָּךְ״, ״שֶׁאֲנִי אוֹכֵל לָךְ״, ״שֶׁאֲנִי טוֹעֵם לָךְ״ — אָסוּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
With regard to **one who says to another: I am avowed from you,** or: **I am separated from you,** or: **I am distanced from you,** and he then says: **That** which **I eat** of **yours,** or: **That** which **I taste** of **yours,** even though he did not explicitly state that he is taking a vow or specify the nature of the vow, the object of his vow is nevertheless **forbidden.** His intention is understood based on his incomplete statement, known as an intimation of a vow, and his vow therefore takes effect.


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

״מְנוּדֶּה אֲנִי לָךְ״, רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא הָיָה חוֹכֵךְ בָּזֶה לְהַחְמִיר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
However, if he says: **I am ostracized from you,** which does not clearly declare any matter to be prohibited, **Rabbi Akiva was uncertain** about this *halakha* but was inclined **to rule stringently about this** and consider it a vow prohibiting the speaker from deriving benefit from his fellow.
