[Nedarim 76b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/76b:1)

אִין, בְּעָלְמָא דָּרְשִׁי קַל וָחוֹמֶר, וְשָׁאנֵי הָכָא דְּאָמַר קְרָא ״אִישָׁהּ יְקִימֶנּוּ וְאִישָׁהּ יְפֵרֶנּוּ״. אֶת שֶׁבָּא לִכְלַל הָקֵם — בָּא לִכְלַל הָפֵר, אֶת שֶׁלֹּא בָּא לִכְלַל הָקֵם — לֹא בָּא לִכְלַל הָפֵר.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: **Yes, generally they do teach** *halakhot* based upon an ***a fortiori*** inference of this type, **but here it is different, as the verse states: “Her husband may ratify it, or her husband may nullify it”** (Numbers 30:14). The Rabbis interpret this to mean: **That which has become eligible** for **ratification,** i.e., a vow that she has already taken, **has become eligible for nullification.** However, **that which has not become eligible** for **ratification,** i.e., a vow she has not yet taken, **has not become eligible for nullification.**

[Nedarim 76b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/76b:2)

**מַתְנִי׳** הֲפָרַת נְדָרִים כׇּל הַיּוֹם. יֵשׁ בַּדָּבָר לְהָקֵל וּלְהַחֲמִיר

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** The **nullification of vows** can be performed **all day** on the day on which the vow was heard. **There is in this matter** both **a leniency,** extending the nullification period, **and a stricture,** curtailing that period.

[Nedarim 76b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/76b:3)

כֵּיצַד? נָדְרָה בְּלֵילֵי שַׁבָּת — יָפֵר בְּלֵילֵי שַׁבָּת וּבְיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת עַד שֶׁתֶּחְשַׁךְ. נָדְרָה עִם חֲשֵׁכָה — מֵפֵר עַד שֶׁלֹּא תֶּחְשַׁךְ, שֶׁאִם חָשְׁכָה וְלֹא הֵפֵר — אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְהָפֵר,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**How so?** If a woman **took a vow on Shabbat evening,** her father or husband **can nullify** the vow **on Shabbat evening, and on Shabbat day until dark.** This is an example of extending the nullification period. However, if **she took a vow with nightfall** approaching, her father or husband **can nullify** the vow only **until nightfall, since, if it became dark and he had not** yet **nullified** her vow, **he cannot nullify** it anymore. This is an example of a curtailed nullification period.

[Nedarim 76b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/76b:4)

**גְּמָ׳** תַּנְיָא: הֲפָרַת נְדָרִים כׇּל הַיּוֹם. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי בְּרַבִּי יְהוּדָה וְרַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בְּרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אָמְרוּ: מֵעֵת לְעֵת. מַאי טַעְמָא דְּתַנָּא קַמָּא, אָמַר קְרָא: ״בְּיוֹם שׇׁמְעוֹ״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **It is taught** in a *baraita*: The **nullification of vows** can be performed **all day** on the day on which the vow was heard. **Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Yehuda, and Rabbi Elazar, son of Rabbi Shimon, said:** A vow can be nullified **for** a twenty-four-hour **period** from the time it was heard. The Gemara asks: **What is the reason for the** opinion of the **first *tanna*?** The Gemara answers: Since **the verse states:** “But if her husband make them null and void **on the day that he hears them”** (Numbers 30:13), he derives that the husband can nullify his wife’s vow only until the end of the day on which he hears the vow.

[Nedarim 76b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/76b:5)

וְרַבָּנַן מַאי טַעְמַיְיהוּ — דִּכְתִיב: ״מִיּוֹם אֶל יוֹם״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **And** with regard to **the Rabbis,** Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Yehuda, and Rabbi Eliezer, son of Rabbi Shimon, **what is their reason?** The Gemara answers: **It is written: “From day to day”** (Numbers 30:15), which indicates that a vow can be nullified from a particular hour on one day until the same hour on the following day.


###### Nedarim 76b:6
[Nedarim 76b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/76b:6)

וּלְתַנָּא קַמָּא, הָא כְּתִיב ״מִיּוֹם אֶל יוֹם״! אִיצְטְרִיךְ. דְּאִי ״בְּיוֹם שׇׁמְעוֹ״, הֲוָה אָמֵינָא בִּימָמָא — אִין, בְּלֵילְיָא — לָא, כְּתִיב ״מִיּוֹם אֶל יוֹם״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **And according to the first *tanna*, isn’t it written: “From day to day”?** The Gemara answers: That verse **is necessary, as if** it had said only **“on the day that he hears them,” I would say** that **during the day, yes,** he can nullify vows, but **at night** he is **not** able to. Therefore, **it is written: “From day to day,”** to teach that nullification can be performed even between one day and the next, i.e., night.


###### Nedarim 76b:7
[Nedarim 76b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/76b:7)

וּלְמַאן דְּאָמַר ״מִיּוֹם אֶל יוֹם״, הָא כְּתִיב ״בְּיוֹם שׇׁמְעוֹ״! אִיצְטְרִיךְ, דְּאִי כְּתִיב ״מִיּוֹם אֶל יוֹם״, הֲוָה אָמֵינָא מֵחַד בְּשַׁבָּא לְחַד בְּשַׁבָּא לֵיפַר לָהּ, כְּתִיב ״בְּיוֹם שׇׁמְעוֹ״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **And according to the one who said** that **“from day to day”** indicates a twenty-four-hour period for nullification, **isn’t it written: “On the day that he hears them?”** The Gemara explains here, too: That verse **was necessary, as if** it had **written** only **“from day to day,” I would say** that he **can nullify** a vow **for her** until the same day in the following week, i.e., he can nullify her vow during the entire period **from one Sunday to** the next **Sunday.** Therefore, it **is written: “On the day that he hears them”** to teach that nullification is limited to a period of a single day of twenty-four hours.

[Nedarim 76b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/76b:8)

אָמַר רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן פַּזִּי אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן לֵוִי: אֵין הֲלָכָה כְּאוֹתוֹ הַזּוּג. לֵוִי סָבַר לְמִיעְבַּד כְּהָנֵי תַּנָּאֵי. אֲמַר לֵיהּ רַב, הָכִי אָמַר חֲבִיבִי: אֵין הֲלָכָה כְּאוֹתוֹ הַזּוּג.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Shimon ben Pazi said** that **Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: The *halakha* is not in accordance with that pair [*zug*],** Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Yehuda, and Rabbi Eliezer, son of Rabbi Shimon, who hold that one has an entire twenty-four-hour period to nullify vows. Rather, one can nullify only on that day, as stated in the mishna. The Gemara relates: **Levi thought to act in accordance with** the opinion of **those** two ***tanna’im*. Rav said to him: So said my uncle [*ḥavivi*],** Rabbi Ḥiyya: **The *halakha* is not in accordance with that pair.**


###### Nedarim 76b:9
[Nedarim 76b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/76b:9)

חִיָּיא בַּר רַב שָׁדֵי גִּירָא וּבָדֵיק. רַבָּה בַּר רַב הוּנָא יָתֵיב וְקָאֵים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara relates that when a case of dissolving a vow was brought before **Ḥiyya bar Rav,** he **would shoot an arrow [*gira*] and examine** the vow at the same time. In other words, he would not examine the case in great depth, but would immediately dissolve it. Similarly, **Rabba bar Rav Huna would sit** to review the vow **and stand** immediately, without conducting a comprehensive examination.
