###### Nedarim 3b:1
[Nedarim 3b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/3b:1)

שֶׁהַנְּזִירוּת חָל עַל הַנְּזִירוּת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**that a** term of **naziriteship takes effect upon a** previously accepted term of **naziriteship.** Consequently, if one became a nazirite and then again declared: I am hereby a nazirite, then when his term of naziriteship is completed he must observe a second term of naziriteship.


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

וּלְמַאן דְּאָמַר דִּבְּרָה תּוֹרָה כִּלְשׁוֹן בְּנֵי אָדָם, וְ״נָזִיר לְהַזִּיר״ דָּרֵישׁ לַעֲשׂוֹת יְדוֹת נְזִירוּת כִּנְזִירוּת, שֶׁהַנְּזִירוּת חָל עַל הַנְּזִירוּת מְנָא לֵיהּ? הָנִיחָא אִי סְבִירָא לֵיהּ כְּמַאן דְּאָמַר אֵין נְזִירוּת חָל עַל נְזִירוּת. אֶלָּא אִי סְבִירָא לֵיהּ כְּמַאן דְּאָמַר נְזִירוּת חָל עַל נְזִירוּת, מְנָא לֵיהּ?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **And according to the one who says that the Torah spoke in the language of men** and therefore nothing can be derived from the phrase “to utter a vow [*lindor neder*],” **and he expounds** the phrase **“the vow of a nazirite to consecrate himself [*nazir lehazir*]” to render intimations of nazirite** vows **like nazirite** vows, **from where does he** derive that a term of **naziriteship takes effect upon a** previously accepted term of **naziriteship? This works out well if he holds in accordance with the one who says** that a term of **naziriteship does not take effect upon a** previously accepted term of **naziriteship; however, if he holds in accordance with the one who says** that a term of **naziriteship takes effect upon a** previously accepted term of **naziriteship, from where does he** derive this *halakha*?


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

נֵימָא קְרָא ״לִיזּוֹר״, מַאי ״לְהַזִּיר״ שָׁמְעַתְּ מִינַּהּ תַּרְתֵּי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: **Let the verse say: To consecrate himself [*lizor*]. What** is the reason the verse expressed this same idea with the word ***lehazir*? Learn two** *halakhot* **from this:** That intimations of nazirite vows are considered nazirite vows, and that a term of naziriteship takes effect upon a previously accepted term of naziriteship.


###### Nedarim 3b:4
[Nedarim 3b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/3b:4)

בְּמַעְרְבָא אָמְרִי: אִית תַּנָּא דְּמַפֵּיק לֵיהּ לְיָדוֹת מִן ״לִנְדֹּר נֶדֶר״, וְאִית תַּנָּא דְּמַפֵּיק לֵיהּ, מִן ״כְּכׇל הַיֹּצֵא מִפִּיו יַעֲשֶׂה״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara adds: **In the West,** Eretz Yisrael, they **say: There is a *tanna* who derives intimations** of vows **from** the phrase **“to utter a vow [*lindor neder*],”** as he holds that the Torah did not speak in the language of men. **And** conversely, **there is a *tanna* who** holds that the Torah spoke in the language of men, and therefore **derives this** *halakha* of intimations **from** the verse: **“He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth”** (Numbers 30:3). The inclusive formulation of this verse comes to include intimations of vows.


###### Nedarim 3b:5
[Nedarim 3b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/3b:5)

אָמַר מָר: וּמָה נְדָרִים עוֹבֵר בְּ״בַל יַחֵל״, וּ״בַל תְּאַחֵר״. בִּשְׁלָמָא ״בַּל יַחֵל״ דִּנְדָרִים מַשְׁכַּחַתְּ לַהּ, כְּגוֹן דְּאָמַר כִּכָּר זוֹ אוֹכַל וְלֹא אֲכָלָהּ — עוֹבֵר מִשּׁוּם ״בַּל יַחֵל דְּבָרוֹ״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ **The Master said** in the *baraita* cited earlier: **Just as** with regard to **vows, one** who breaks his vow **transgresses** the prohibition: **He shall not profane, and** one who does not fulfill his vow in time transgresses the prohibition: **You shall not delay,** so too, the same is true with regard to nazirite vows. The Gemara asks: **Granted, you** can **find** a case **where** one transgresses the prohibition: **He shall not profane, in** the case of **vows. For example, where one said: I will eat this loaf, and he does not eat it, he violates** the prohibition: **He shall not profane his word.**


###### Nedarim 3b:6
[Nedarim 3b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/3b:6)

אֶלָּא ״בַּל יַחֵל״ דִּנְזִירוּת הֵיכִי מַשְׁכַּחַתְּ לַהּ? כֵּיוָן דְּאָמַר ״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר״ הָוֵה לֵיהּ נָזִיר. אֲכַל — קָם לֵיהּ בְּ״בַל יֹאכַל״. שְׁתָה — קָם לֵיהּ בְּ״בַל יִשְׁתֶּה״. אָמַר רָבָא: לַעֲבוֹר עָלָיו בִּשְׁנַיִם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**However,** with regard to transgressing the prohibition: **He shall not profane, in** the case of **nazirite** vows, **how can you find these** circumstances? **Once he said: I am hereby a nazirite, he is a nazirite** as of that moment. If he then **ate** grapes, **he is liable for** violating the prohibition: **He shall not eat** (see Numbers 6:4), and if he **drank** wine, **he is liable for** violating the prohibition: **He shall not drink** (see Numbers 6:3). When would he ever become liable for violating the prohibition against profanation? **Rava said:** The prohibition against profanation serves **to render him liable for** violating **two** prohibitions. Consequently, if he eats grapes or drinks wine, he transgresses the relevant prohibition in addition to the prohibition against profanation.


###### Nedarim 3b:7
[Nedarim 3b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/3b:7)

״בַּל תְּאַחֵר״ דִּנְזִירוּת הֵיכִי מַשְׁכַּחַתְּ לַהּ? כֵּיוָן דְּאָמַר ״הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר״ הָוֵי לֵיהּ נָזִיר. אֲכַל — קָם לֵיהּ בְּ״בַל יֹאכַל״? בְּאוֹמֵר ״לִכְשֶׁאֶרְצֶה אֱהֵא נָזִיר״. וְאִי אָמַר ״כְּשֶׁאֶרְצֶה״ לֵיכָּא ״בַּל תְּאַחֵר״!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara further asks: With regard to violating the prohibition: **You shall not delay, in** the case of **nazirite** vows, **how can you find these** circumstances? **Once he said: I am hereby a nazirite, he is a nazirite** as of that moment. If he then **ate** grapes, **he is liable for** violating the prohibition: **He shall not eat.** When would he ever become liable for violating the prohibition against delaying? The Gemara answers: It is **when he** specifically **says: I will become a nazirite when I wish,** in which case he does not become a nazirite immediately. The Gemara asks: **But if he said: When I wish, there is no** prohibition of: **You shall not delay,** as there is no particular time by which he must become a nazirite.


###### Nedarim 3b:8
[Nedarim 3b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/3b:8)

אָמַר רָבָא: כְּגוֹן דְּאָמַר ״לֹא אִיפָּטֵר מִן הָעוֹלָם עַד שֶׁאֱהֵא נָזִיר״, דְּמִן הָהִיא שַׁעְתָּא הָוֵה לֵיהּ נָזִיר. מִידֵּי דְּהָוֵה הָאוֹמֵר לְאִשְׁתּוֹ ״הֲרֵי זוֹ גִּיטֵּיךְ שָׁעָה אַחַת קוֹדֶם מִיתָתִי״ — אֲסוּרָה לֶאֱכוֹל בִּתְרוּמָה מִיָּד. אַלְמָא אָמְרִינַן כֹּל שַׁעְתָּא וְשַׁעְתָּא דִּילְמָא מָיֵית. הָכָא נָמֵי, לְאַלְתַּר הָוֵי נָזִיר. דְּאָמְרִינַן: דִּילְמָא הַשְׁתָּא מָיֵית.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rava said:** It is, **for example, when he said: I will not depart the world until I become a nazirite, as he is a nazirite from that time** because he does not know when he will depart this world. This is **just as it is** in the case of a man **who says to his wife: This is your bill of divorce** that will take effect **one hour before my death.** If he is a priest and she is the daughter of a non-priest, **she is prohibited from partaking of *teruma* immediately. Apparently, we say every moment** that **perhaps he is** now **dead** and she is therefore already divorced. **Here, too,** with regard to naziriteship, **he is a nazirite immediately, as we say** that **perhaps he is now** about to **die.**
