###### Nedarim 88a:1
[Nedarim 88a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/88a:1)

אָמַר רָבָא: הָכָא מֵעִנְיָנֵיהּ דִּקְרָא וְהָכָא מֵעִנְיָנֵיהּ דִּקְרָא. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה סָבַר: גַּבֵּי רוֹצֵחַ כְּתִיב ״וַאֲשֶׁר יָבֹא אֶת רֵעֵהוּ בַיַּעַר״ — כׇּל דְּבַר מֵיעַל לְיַעַר, וְסּוֹמֵא נָמֵי בַּר מֵיעַל לְיַעַר הוּא. וְאִי אָמְרַתְּ ״בְּלֹא רְאוֹת״ לְרַבּוֹת אֶת הַסּוֹמֵא — מִ״יַּעַר״ נָפְקָא לֵיהּ. אֶלָּא שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ: ״בְּלֹא רְאוֹת״ פְּרָט לְסּוֹמֵא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rava said:** There is no contradiction here, as the dispute with regard to an unintentional killing is based on divergent interpretations of the verse. **Here,** the ruling follows **from the context of the verse, and there,** the ruling follows **from the context of the verse. Rabbi Yehuda maintains** that **with regard to** the exile of an unintentional **killer it is written: “And a man who goes into the forest with his neighbor** to hew wood” (Deuteronomy 19:5), which serves to include **anyone** who **is capable of entering a forest, and a blind person is also capable of entering a forest. And if you say** that the phrase **“without seeing”** serves **to include a blind person,** this **is** already **derived from** the word **“forest,”** as he too can enter a forest. **Rather, learn from it** that the phrase **“without seeing”** serves **to exclude a blind person** from the category of unintentional killers who are exiled to a city of refuge.

רַבִּי מֵאִיר סָבַר: כְּתִיב ״בִּבְלִי דַעַת״ — כׇּל דְּבַר מִידָּע, וְסּוֹמֵא לָאו בַּר מִידָּע הוּא. וְאִי אָמְרַתְּ ״בְּלֹא רְאוֹת״ פְּרָט לַסּוֹמֵא — מִ״בְּלִי דַעַת״ נָפְקָא לֵיהּ. אֶלָּא שְׁמַע מִינַּהּ: ״בְּלֹא רְאוֹת״ לְרַבּוֹת אֶת הַסּוֹמֵא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
By contrast, **Rabbi Meir maintains: It is written** in that same section: “One who strikes his neighbor **without knowledge”** (Deuteronomy 19:4), which indicates that the *halakha* applies to **anyone who is capable of knowing** the precise location of the people standing about him, **but a blind person is not capable of knowing** this. **And if you say** that the phrase **“without seeing”** serves **to exclude a blind person,** this **is** already **derived from** the words **“without knowledge.” Rather, learn from it** that the phrase **“without seeing”** serves **to include a blind person** in the *halakha* of exile, not to exclude him.

[Nedarim 88a:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Nedarim/r/88a:3)

**מַתְנִי׳** הַמַּדִּיר הֲנָאָה מֵחֲתָנוֹ, וְהוּא רוֹצֶה לָתֵת לְבִתּוֹ מָעוֹת, אוֹמֵר לָהּ: הֲרֵי הַמָּעוֹת הָאֵלּוּ נְתוּנִין לָךְ בְּמַתָּנָה, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יְהֵא לְבַעְלִיךְ רְשׁוּת בָּהֶן, אֶלָּא מָה שֶׁאַתְּ נוֹשֵׂאת וְנוֹתֶנֶת בְּפִיךְ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** With regard to **one who vows** that **benefit** from him is forbidden **to his son-in-law, but he** nevertheless **wishes to give his daughter,** i.e., the wife of that same son-in-law, **money,** then, though he cannot do so directly, as anything acquired by a woman belongs to her husband, **he** should **say to her: This money is hereby given to you as a gift, provided that your husband has no rights to it,** but the gift includes **only that which you pick up and place in your mouth.**

**גְּמָ׳** אָמַר רַב: לֹא שָׁנוּ אֶלָּא דְּאָמַר לַהּ ״מָה שֶׁאַתְּ נוֹשֵׂאת וְנוֹתֶנֶת בְּפִיךְ״, אֲבָל אָמַר ״מַה שֶּׁתִּרְצִי עֲשִׂי״, קְנָה יָתְהוֹן בַּעַל. וּשְׁמוּאֵל אוֹמֵר: אֲפִילּוּ אָמַר ״מַה שֶּׁתִּרְצִי עֲשִׂי״ — לָא קְנָה יָתְהוֹן בַּעַל. מַתְקֵיף לַהּ רַבִּי זֵירָא:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **Rav said** that **they taught** this *halakha* **only** in a case **where he** actually **said to her: That which you pick up and place in your mouth** is yours. **But** if **he said: Do as you please** with the money, his stipulation is of no effect, and **the husband acquires** the money. **And Shmuel says** that **even** if **he said: Do as you please** with the money, **the husband does not acquire it. Rabbi Zeira objects to this** statement of Rav:
