דְּכֹל גְּרִיוָא דְּבָעֵינָא שָׁקֵילְנָא. שְׁקַל דִּיקּוּלָא רַבָּה, חַפְיֵיהּ כּוּפְרָא וְסַחְפֵיהּ עַל רֵישֵׁיהּ, וַאֲזַל וַאֲמַר לֵיהּ: לֵיכִיל לִי מָר אַרְבְּעִין גְּרִיוֵי חִיטֵּי דְּרָשֵׁינָא בָּךְ. אַחוּךְ רַבִּי. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: לָאו אַזְהַרְתָּךָ דְּלָא תְּבַדְּחַן? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: חִיטֵּי דְּרָשֵׁינָא קָא נָסֵיבְנָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**that any *se’a* I wish I will take. He took a large palm basket, smeared it with tar, and overturned it upon his head, and went, and said to** Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi: **Let the Master measure for me** the **forty *se’a* of wheat that I am owed by you. Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi **laughed** at this and **said to him: Did I not warn you not to make me laugh? He said to him:** What **I am taking from you** is simply **the wheat that I am owed by you.**

[Nedarim 51a:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/51a:2)

אֲמַר לַהּ בַּר קַפָּרָא לְבַרְתֵּיהּ דְּרַבִּי: לִמְחַר שָׁתֵינָא חַמְרָא בְּרִיקּוּדָא דַּאֲבוּךְ וּבְקִירְקָנֵי דְאִמִּךְ. בֶּן אֶלְעָשָׂה חַתְנֵיהּ דְּרַבִּי הֲוָה, וְעָשִׁיר גָּדוֹל הֲוָה. אַזְמְנֵיהּ לְבֵי הִילּוּלָא דְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בְּרַבִּי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara relates another story. **Bar Kappara said to the daughter of Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi, whose husband’s name was ben Elasa: **Tomorrow I will drink wine at your father’s dancing and your mother’s singing [*kirekanei*]. Ben Elasa was the son-in-law of Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi **and was a very wealthy man.** Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi **invited him to the wedding of Rabbi Shimon, son of Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi.


###### Nedarim 51a:3
[Nedarim 51a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/51a:3)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ בַּר קַפָּרָא לְרַבִּי: מַאי ״תּוֹעֵבָה״? כֹּל דַּאֲמַר לֵיהּ רַבִּי דְּהָכֵין הוּא ״תּוֹעֵבָה״, פַּרְכַהּ בַּר קַפָּרָא. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: פָּרְשֵׁיהּ אַתְּ. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: תֵּיתֵי דְּבֵיתְכִי תִּירְמֵי לִי נַטְלָא. אֲתָת רָמְיָא לֵיהּ. אֲמַר לֵיהּ לְרַבִּי: קוּם רְקוֹד לִי, דְּאֵימַר לָךְ: הָכִי אָמַר רַחֲמָנָא: ״תּוֹעֵבָה״ — תּוֹעֶה אַתָּה בָּהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Bar Kappara said to Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi at the wedding: **What** is the meaning of the word ***to’eva*,** abomination, used by the Torah to describe homosexual intercourse (see Leviticus 18:22)? **Whatever** it was **that Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi **said to** bar Kappara in explanation, claiming **that this is** the meaning of ***to’eva*, bar Kappara refuted it** by proving otherwise. Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi **said to him: You explain it.** Bar Kappara **said to him: Let your wife come and pour me a goblet** of wine. **She came** and **poured him** wine. Bar Kappara then **said to Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi: **Arise** and **dance for me, so that I will tell you** the meaning of the word: **This is what the Merciful One is saying** in the Torah in the word ***to’eva*: You are straying after it [*to’e ata bah*],** i.e., after an atypical mate.


###### Nedarim 51a:4
[Nedarim 51a:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/51a:4)

לְכָסָא אַחֲרִינָא אֲמַר לֵיהּ: מַאי ״תֶּבֶל״? אֲמַר לֵיהּ כִּי עִנְיָינָא קַדְמָאָה. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: עִיבֵיד לִי דְּאוֹמַר לָךְ. עֲבַד. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: ״תֶּבֶל הוּא״ — תַּבְלִין יֵשׁ בָּהּ. מִי שָׁנְיָא הָדָא בִּיאָה מִן כּוּלְּהוֹן בִּיאוֹת?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
When they came **to** drink **another cup,** bar Kappara **said to him: What** is the meaning of the word ***tevel*,** perversion, as in the verse: “Neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down thereto; it is perversion [*tevel*]” (Leviticus 18:23)? Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi **said** various explanations **to him, as** he did **the previous** time, which were all refuted again by bar Kappara. Bar Kappara then **said to him: Perform for me** as you did before, so **that I will tell you.** Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi **did** so. Bar Kappara then **said to him** that the phrase: **“It is *tevel*”** means: Does **it have** any **spice [*tevalin yesh bah*]? Is this act of sexual intercourse** with an animal **different than all other acts of sexual intercourse,** which would cause one to engage in such a repulsive action?


###### Nedarim 51a:5
[Nedarim 51a:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/51a:5)

אֲמַר לֵיהּ: וּמַאי ״זִימָּה״? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: עִיבֵיד כִּי עִנְיָינָא קַדְמָאָה. עֲבַד וַאֲמַר לֵיהּ: זוֹ מָה הִיא. לָא יְכֵיל בֶּן אֶלְעָשָׂה לְמִיסְבַּל, קָם וּנְפַק הוּא וְאִינְתְּתֵיהּ מִתַּמָּן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi **said to** bar Kappara: **And what** is the meaning of the word ***zimma*,** lewdness, as in the verse: “They are near kinswomen; it is lewdness [*zimma*]” (Leviticus 18:17), stated with regard to a man who engages in sexual intercourse with a woman and her daughter? **He said to him: Perform for me as** you did **the previous** time. Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi **did** so, **and** bar Kappara **said to him** that *zimma* means: **What is she [*zo ma hi*]?** This man would be confused about how to refer to his wives; his wife is also his other wife’s mother or daughter. **Ben Elasa could not tolerate** Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi’s humiliation, so **he and his wife arose and left** the wedding.


###### Nedarim 51a:6
[Nedarim 51a:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/51a:6)

מַאי בֶּן אֶלְעָשָׂה? דְּתַנְיָא: לֹא לְחִנָּם פִּיזֵּר בֶּן אֶלְעָשָׂה אֶת מְעוֹתָיו, אֶלָּא לְהַרְאוֹת בָּהֶן תִּסְפּוֹרֶת שֶׁל כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
In **what** other context is **ben Elasa** mentioned? He is mentioned in a *baraita*, **as it is taught: Ben Elasa did not dispense his money** on his special haircut **for naught. Rather,** he spent it **to show** others what **the haircut of a High Priest** looked like.


###### Nedarim 51a:7
[Nedarim 51a:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/51a:7)

דִּכְתִיב: ״כָּסוֹם יִכְסְמוּ אֶת רָאשֵׁיהֶם״. תָּנָא: כְּעֵין לוּלְיָנִית. מַאי ״לוּלְיָנִית״? אָמַר רַב יְהוּדָה: תִּסְפֻּרְתָּא יְחִידְתָּא. הֵיכִי דָּמֵי? אָמַר רָבָא: רֹאשׁוֹ שֶׁל זֶה בְּצַד עִיקָּרוֹ שֶׁל זֶה. וְהַיְינוּ תִּסְפּוֹרֶת שֶׁל כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**As it is written** with regard to the priests: **“They shall poll their heads”** (Ezekiel 44:20), and it is **taught** in a *baraita*: This haircut is **like a *luleyanit*.** The Gemara asks: **What is a *luleyanit*? Rav Yehuda said:** It is **a unique haircut.** The Gemara asks: **What is** this haircut **like? Rava said: The edge of this** hank of hair **is by the roots of that** hank of hair. The hair is cut in the form of hanks that do not overlap. **And this is the haircut of a High Priest,** for which ben Elasa paid a large sum.


###### Nedarim 51a:8
[Nedarim 51a:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/51a:8)

וּבַדַּלַּעַת הָרְמוּצָה. מַאי ״דַּלַּעַת הָרְמוּצָה״? אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: קַרָּא קַרְקוּזַאי. רַב אָשֵׁי אָמַר: דַּלַּעַת הַטְּמוּנָה בְּרֶמֶץ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ It is stated in the mishna that one who said: Cooked food is *konam* for me, and for that reason I will not taste it, is **permitted to** taste a *turemita* egg **and the *remutza* gourd.** The Gemara asks: **What** is **the *remutza* gourd? Shmuel said:** A type of **gourd** that grows in **Karkuza [*kara karkuzai*],** which does not cook well. **Rav Ashi said: A gourd that is insulated in embers [*remetz*].**


###### Nedarim 51a:9
[Nedarim 51a:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/51a:9)

אֵיתִיבֵיהּ רָבִינָא לְרַב אָשֵׁי, רַבִּי נְחֶמְיָה אוֹמֵר: דַּלַּעַת אֲרַמִּית הִיא דַּלַּעַת הַמִּצְרִית, כִּלְאַיִם עִם הַיְּוָנִית, כִּלְאַיִם עִם הָרְמוּצָה. תְּיוּבְתָּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Ravina raised an objection to** the definition given by **Rav Ashi** from a *baraita*: The halakha is that one who plants different types of vegetables in close proximity to each other violates, by rabbinic law, the transgression of diverse kinds (see *Kilayim*). Concerning which types of gourd are considered to be different types, **Rabbi Neḥemya says** that **an Aramean gourd is** identical to **the Egyptian gourd,** and one is permitted to plant them together. However, there is a prohibition of **diverse kinds** when it is planted **with the Greek** gourd, and there is a prohibition of **diverse kinds** when it is planted **with the *remutza*** gourd. This indicates that the *remutza* gourd is a type of gourd rather than a gourd prepared in a certain manner. This is **a conclusive refutation** of Rav Ashi’s opinion.


###### Nedarim 51a:10
[Nedarim 51a:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/51a:10)

**מַתְנִי׳** הַנּוֹדֵר מִמַּעֲשֵׂה קְדֵרָה — אֵין אָסוּר אֶלָּא מִמַּעֲשֵׂה רְתַחְתָּא. אָמַר ״קֻוֽנָּם הַיּוֹרֵד לִקְדֵרָה שֶׁאֲנִי טוֹעֵם״ — אָסוּר בְּכׇל הַנַּעֲשֶׂה בִּקְדֵרָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** In the case of **one who vows** that food **cooked in a dish** is forbidden to him, he is **prohibited from** eating **only** food that is **cooked by boiling** it in a dish, i.e., its main preparation is in a dish. However, if **one said: That which enters into a dish is *konam*** for me, and for **that** reason **I** will not **taste** it, he is **prohibited** from tasting **anything cooked in a dish,** even if the final stage of the food’s preparation is not in a dish.


###### Nedarim 51a:11
[Nedarim 51a:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/51a:11)

**גְּמָ׳** תַּנְיָא: הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַיּוֹרֵד לִקְדֵרָה — אָסוּר בַּיּוֹרֵד לְאִלְפָּס, שֶׁכְּבָר יָרַד לִקְדֵרָה קוֹדֶם שֶׁיּוֹרַד לְאִלְפָּס. מִן הַיּוֹרֵד לְאִלְפָּס — מוּתָּר בְּיוֹרֵד לִקְדֵרָה. מִן הַנַּעֲשֶׂה בִּקְדֵרָה — מוּתָּר בְּנַעֲשֶׂה בְּאִלְפָּס. מִן הַנַּעֲשֶׂה בְּאִלְפָּס — מוּתָּר בְּנַעֲשֶׂה בִּקְדֵרָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **It is taught** in a *baraita*: **One who vows** that **that which enters into a dish** is forbidden **to** him is also **prohibited from** eating **that which enters a stewpot, as it has already entered into a dish before it enters into the stewpot.** Food would be cooked in a dish and then it would be cooked some more in a stewpot. However, if one **vowed that that which enters into the stewpot** is forbidden to him, he is **permitted to** eat from **that which enters into a dish,** i.e., food that is cooked only in a regular dish. If one **vows** that **that which is cooked in a dish** is forbidden to him, he is **permitted to** eat **that which is cooked in a stewpot,** as he referred only to foods whose main preparation is in a dish. Similarly, if one **vows** that **that which is cooked in a stewpot** is forbidden to him, he is **permitted to** eat **that which is cooked in a dish.**


###### Nedarim 51a:12
[Nedarim 51a:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/51a:12)

הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַיּוֹרֵד לְתַנּוּר — אֵין אָסוּר אֶלָּא בְּפַת. וְאִם אָמַר: ״כׇּל מַעֲשֵׂה תַנּוּר עָלַי״ — אָסוּר בְּכׇל הַנַּעֲשִׂים בְּתַנּוּר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**One who vows** that **that which enters into an oven** is forbidden **to** him is **prohibited only from** eating **bread,** as that is the main food that is baked in an oven. **But if** one **said: Anything made in an oven is** forbidden **to me,** he is **prohibited from** eating **anything made in an oven.**
