###### Nedarim 38b:1
[Nedarim 38b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/38b:1)

נַפְשָׁהּ וְגוּפָהּ לַשָּׁמַיִם. אָמְרוּ לוֹ: אַף הַטְּמֵאָה נַפְשָׁהּ לַשָּׁמַיִם וְגוּפָהּ שֶׁלּוֹ, שֶׁאִם יִרְצֶה הֲרֵי הוּא מוֹכְרָהּ לַגּוֹיִם אוֹ מַאֲכִילָהּ לַכְּלָבִים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
both **its being and its body** belong **to Heaven,** as it is prohibited for its owner to eat its meat. The Rabbis **said to him: The non-kosher** animal **too, its being** belongs **to Heaven, and its body is** the property of its owner, because if the owner chooses, **he sells it to gentiles or feeds it to dogs.**


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

**גְּמָ׳** אָמַר רַב יִצְחָק בַּר חֲנַנְיָה אָמַר רַב הוּנָא: הַמּוּדָּר הֲנָאָה מֵחֲבֵירוֹ — מוּתָּר לְהַשִּׂיא לוֹ בִּתּוֹ. הָוֵי בַּהּ רַבִּי זֵירָא: בְּמַאי עָסְקִינַן? אִילֵימָא בְּשֶׁנִּכְסֵי אֲבִי כַלָּה אֲסוּרִין עַל הֶחָתָן, הֲרֵי מוֹסֵר לוֹ שִׁפְחָה לְשַׁמְּשׁוֹ!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **Rav Yitzḥak bar Ḥananya said** that **Rav Huna said:** In the case of **one for whom benefit from another is forbidden by vow, he is permitted to marry his daughter to him. Rabbi Zeira discussed it: With what** case **are we dealing? If we say** that it is a case where **the property of the father of the bride is forbidden to the groom,** this cannot be, as when one marries his daughter to the groom, **he provides him a maidservant to serve him** and thereby benefits him.


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

אֶלָּא בְּנִכְסֵי חָתָן אֲסוּרִין עַל אֲבִי כַלָּה. גְּדוֹלָה מִזּוֹ אָמְרוּ: זָן אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ וְאֶת בָּנָיו, וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהוּא חַיָּיב בִּמְזוֹנוֹתָן, וְאַתְּ אָמְרַתְּ מוּתָּר לְהַשִּׂיא לוֹ בִּתּוֹ?!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rather,** it is a case where **the property of the groom is forbidden to the father of the bride,** and although the groom supports the bride, her father is not considered to have benefited from the property of the groom. However, it cannot be this case either, as the Sages **stated** a *halakha* with a **greater** novel element **than that** in the mishna itself: And with regard to one for whom benefit from another is forbidden by vow, that other person **may feed** his **wife and children, although** the one who is bound by the vow **is obligated in their support. And you say that it is permitted to marry his daughter to him?** Isn’t that obvious?


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

לְעוֹלָם בְּשֶׁנִּכְסֵי אֲבִי כַלָּה אֲסוּרִין עַל הֶחָתָן, וּבְבִתּוֹ בּוֹגֶרֶת, וּמִדַּעְתָּהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: **Actually,** it is a case **where the property of the father of the bride is forbidden to the groom, and where his daughter is a grown woman, and** where her father may marry her to another only **with her consent.** Therefore, it is not from her father that the groom is deriving benefit.


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

תַּנְיָא נָמֵי הָכִי: הַמּוּדָּר הֲנָאָה מֵחֲבֵירוֹ — אָסוּר לְהַשִּׂיא לוֹ בִּתּוֹ, אֲבָל מַשִּׂיאוֹ בִּתּוֹ בּוֹגֶרֶת וּמִדַּעְתָּהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara comments: **That is also taught** in a *baraita*. In the case of one for whom benefit from another is forbidden by vow, it is **prohibited** for that other person **to marry his daughter to him. However, he may marry** off **his daughter,** who is **a grown woman, to** that other person **with her consent.**


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

אָמַר רַבִּי יַעֲקֹב: הַמַּדִּיר בְּנוֹ לְתַלְמוּד תּוֹרָה — מוּתָּר לְמַלּאוֹת לוֹ חָבִית שֶׁל מַיִם, וּלְהַדְלִיק לוֹ אֶת הַנֵּר. רַבִּי יִצְחָק אָמַר: לִצְלוֹת לוֹ דָּג קָטָן. אָמַר רַבִּי יִרְמְיָה אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: הַמּוּדָּר הֲנָאָה מֵחֲבֵירוֹ — מוּתָּר לְהַשְׁקוֹתוֹ כּוֹס שֶׁל שָׁלוֹם. מַאי נִיהוּ? הָכָא תַּרְגִּימוּ: כּוֹס שֶׁל בֵּית הָאֵבֶל. בְּמַעְרְבָא אָמְרִי: כּוֹס שֶׁל בֵּית הַמֶּרְחָץ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Similarly, **Rabbi Ya’akov said:** If **one vows** that benefit **from** him is forbidden to **his son,** in order to induce him to engage in **Torah study,** the one who took the vow may nevertheless perform actions that provide his son with minor benefit. It is **permitted** for him **to fill a barrel of water for** his son **and to kindle a lamp for him. Rabbi Yitzḥak said:** It is **permitted** for him **to roast a small fish for him. Rabbi Yirmeya said** that **Rabbi Yoḥanan said:** In the case of **one for whom benefit from another is forbidden by vow it is permitted** for the other **to give him a cup of peace to drink.** The Gemara asks: **What is this** cup of peace? **Here,** in Babylonia, the Sages **interpreted** this term as referring to **a cup of** wine given to mourners to drink at the meal of comfort in **the house of mourning. In the West,** Eretz Yisrael, the Sages **said** that it is the **cup of** wine that one drinks upon leaving **the bathhouse.**


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

וְלֹא יָזוּן אֶת בְּהֶמְתּוֹ בֵּין כּוּ׳. תַּנְיָא, יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אִישׁ עוּזָּא אוֹמֵר: זָן עֲבָדָיו וְשִׁפְחוֹתָיו הַכְּנַעֲנִים, וְלֹא יָזוּן אֶת בְּהֶמְתּוֹ, בֵּין טְמֵאָה בֵּין טְהוֹרָה. מַאי טַעְמָא? עֲבָדָיו וְשִׁפְחוֹתָיו הַכְּנַעֲנִים — לְמַנְחֲרוּתָא עֲבִידָן, בְּהֵמָה — לְפִטּוּמָא עֲבִידָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ We learned in the mishna: **And he may not feed** the **animal** of one for whom benefit from him is forbidden, **whether** it is a kosher animal or whether it is a non-kosher animal. **It is taught** in a *baraita* that **Yehoshua of Uzza says:** One who vows that benefit from him is forbidden to another **may feed** the other person’s **Canaanite slaves and maidservants; however, he may not feed his animal, whether** it is **a non-kosher** animal or **whether** it is **a kosher** animal. The Gemara asks: **What is the reason** for the distinction? The Gemara explains: **His Canaanite slaves and maidservants are designated for labor,** whereas **an animal is designated for fattening.** The one bound by the vow derives benefit from the other person feeding the kosher animal when he eats it and derives benefit from the other person feeding the non-kosher animal when he sells it to a gentile.


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

**מַתְנִי׳** הַמּוּדָּר הֲנָאָה מֵחֲבֵירוֹ וְנִכְנַס לְבַקְּרוֹ — עוֹמֵד אֲבָל לֹא יוֹשֵׁב. וּמְרַפְּאוֹ רְפוּאַת נֶפֶשׁ, אֲבָל לֹא רְפוּאַת מָמוֹן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** In the case of **one for whom benefit from another is forbidden by vow and he enters** his house **to visit him, he stands** there **but does not sit. And** that other person **heals him** with **a cure** of the ***nefesh* but not a cure of *mamon*.**
