(דברים כג כב) **כִּי תִדֹּר נֶדֶר לַה׳**, נֶאֱמַר כָּאן נֶדֶר וְנֶאֱמַר לְהַלָּן נֶדֶר, מַה נֶּדֶר הָאָמוּר לְהַלָּן נֶדֶר וּנְדָבָה אַף נֶדֶר הָאָמוּר כָּאן נֶדֶר וּנְדָבָה, וּמַה נֶּדֶר הָאָמוּר כָּאן **לֹא תְאַחֵר לְשַׁלְּמוֹ** אַף נֶדֶר הָאָמוּר לְהַלָּן לֹא תְאַחֵר לְשַׁלְּמוֹ.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 23:22) "If you make a vow to the L-rd, you shall not delay to pay it": It is written here "a vow," and elsewhere (Vayikra 7:16) "a vow." Just as there, "a vow or a pledge (*nedavah*)," so, here, a vow or a pledge. And just as with the vow here, "you shall not delay to pay it," so, with the vow there, you shall not delay to pay it.
