שלשה מינים אסורין בנזיר הטומאה – as it is written (Numbers 6:5): “no razor shall touch his head.”

והיוצא מן הגפן – as for example, moist/fresh and dry grapes, the exterior and interior [of grapes] combine to make olive’s bulk to be flogged for them [by violating consumption of these things].

אינו חייב עד שיאכל מן הענבים כזית – and the same law applies regarding the measure for drinking up to an olive’s bulk for since it is written (Numbers 6:3): “nor eat fresh or dried,” we derive from it – just as “eating” is up to an olive’s bulk, so also, “drinking” is up to an olive’s bulk.

משנה ראשונה עד שישתה רביעית יין – but the earlier version of the Mishnah is the opposite as we learn that we derive “eating” from “drinking” for the measure of ‘drinking” for a Nazirite [that is prohibited] is a Revi’it/one-quarter of a LOG (i.e., a LOG equals the volume of six eggs or a bottom of two fingers by two with the height of one and five-sixth of a finger) that we derive from [the analogy of] (Leviticus 10:9): “Drink no wine or other intoxicant, [you and your sons] שכר\שכר (Numbers 6:3): “he shall not drink vinegar of wine or of any other intoxicant,” from the Temple (see Leviticus 10:9 above). And just as the measurement of the prohibition of “drinking,” is one-quarter of a LOG, so also, the measurement of [prohibited] eating is one-quarter of a LOG.”

אפילו שרה פתו ביין ויש בה כדי לצרף כזית חייב – for Rabbi Akiva holds that the measurement of prohibition for a Nazirite whether in regard to “eating,” or “drinking,” is [the equivalent] of an olive’s bulk [collectively], and the permitted combines with that which is prohibited to complete up to the [obligated] measure, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Akiva.

עד שיאכלו שני חרצנים וזגן – as it is written (Numbers 6:4): “he may not eat anything that is obtained from the grapevine, even seeds or skin,” and the least amount of חרצנים/exteriors is two, and they each have one זג/interior [of grapes], but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah, but rather, one who eats from the exterior and/or the interior is not flogged until he eats from them [in total] an olive’s bulk.

רבי יוסי אומר שלא תטעה – Rabbi Yossi would give a sign that one shouldn’t err.

זוג של בהמה – for the exterior is called a זוג/exterior.

סתם נזירות שלשים יום – even though it (i.e., the Mishnah) taught this above (Tractate Nazir, Chapter 1, Mishnah 3), because it was necessary to teach the concluding [fragment] of, “if he shaved or if robbers/thugs forcibly shaved him, he loses thirty days,” the Tanna/teacher repeated it (i.e., the teaching) here.

סותר שלשים יום – meaning to say, he loses thirty days until he will have thirty-days’ growth of hair, when he can shave the shearing of the commandment (for concluding the minimal amount of Naziriteship).

או שספסף כל שהוא – if he uprooted and removed even one hair, he is liable, as it is written (Numbers 6:5): “a razor shall not touch [his head],” to include all removals.

חופף – he rubs with his hand.

מפספס – with his nails or with a utensil, and as long as he doesn’t intend to remove anything, for a thing that is not intended is permissible.

אבל לא סורק – with a comb for it is an unavoidable result of an act which is forbidden, even though if he removes one hair, he is flogged, nevertheless, he doesn’t lose thirty days until he shaves the majority of his hair with a razor or with scissors at the side root of [his] hair.

לא יחוף באדמה – a species from the kinds of earth that removes the hair that is also an unavoidable result of an act and the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yishmael.

נזיר שהיה שותה יין כל היום – and no one other than one, warned him.

אל תשתה אל תשתה – that they warned him between each drink.

שהטומאה והתגלחת סותרים – as it written regarding ritual impurity (Numbers 6:12): “the previous period shall be void,” and shaving loses thirty days for we require (Numbers 6:5): “the hair of his head being left to grow untrimmed,” and there is no untrimmed growing that is less than thirty days.

שהיוצא מן הגפן לא הותר מכללו – as for example, to drink wine for a Mitzvah/commandment, as we say (Numbers 6:3): “he shall abstain from wine and any other intoxicant,” forbidding wine for a Mitzvah, like wine that is consumed optionally.

טומאה ותגלחת הותרו מכללן – defilement for the corpse with no one to bury it, [In which case, the Nazir is absolutely required to bury the corpse], as it is written (Numbers 6:7): “Even if his father or mother, [or his brother or sister should die, he must not defile himself for them].” For his father and/or mother, he does not defile himself, but he defiles himself for a corpse with no one to bury it. And shaving for a Nazirite who is a leper, the positive commandment of (Leviticus 14:8): “[The one to be cleansed shall wash his clothes,] shave off all his hair, [and bathe in water; then he shall be clean],” comes and overrides the negative commandment of (Numbers 6:5): “no razor shall touch his head.”

מגלח בשביעי ומביא קרבן בשמיני – as It is written (Numbers 6:9-10): “[If a person dies suddenly near him, defiling his consecrated hair,] he shall shave his head on the day he becomes clean; he shall shave it on the seventh day. On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two pigeons [to the priest, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting],” and a lamb for a guilt offering (see verse 12).

מה בין זה למצורע – as it is written in the portion of the leper in the second shaving (Leviticus 14:9-10): “On the seventh day he shall shave off he shall shave off all his hair…,” on the eighth day he shall take [two male lambs without blemish, one ewe lamb in its first year without blemish].” And we hold with regard to a leper, that if he shaves on the eighth day, he brings the sacrifice on the ninth [day].

אמר לו שזה טהרתו תלויה בימיו – For a Nazirite, his [ritual] purification is dependent upon sparkling on the third [day] and on the seventh [day] and ritual immersion’; therefore, since he became pure on the seventh day, even though he had not shaved until the eighth day, he bring his sacrifices on that selfsame day.

אבל מצורע טהרתו תלויה בתגלחתו – as it is written (Leviticus 14:9): “on the seventh day he shall shave off all his hair” and afterwards it is written (ibid.): “and bathe his body in water; [then he shall be clean],” but if he immersed prior to shaving, the immersion does not count for him; therefore, if he shaved on the eighth day, he yet requires [ritual] immersion at sunset, therefore, he cannot bring his sacrifices until the ninth [day], and the Halakha is according to Rabbi Akiva.

שחט את השלמים ומגלח עליהם – as it is written regarding the Nazirite (Numbers 6:18 – though this verse is not exactly as found in the commentary – which is not found in this chapter): “The Nazirite shall then shave his consecrated hair at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting,” and we expound upon this verse, that he shall shave his head over the sacrifice that is written regarding it at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, which is the peace offering, as it is written concerning them (Leviticus 3:2): “and slaughter it at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.”

שחטאת קודמת בכל מקום – [the sin offering precedes] the burnt offering and the peace offering, and it is the law that he may shave after the first [sacrifice], but the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda that he shaves on the peace offering.

ולא פירש – even though regarding all of the sacrifices, the owners have to specify their purposes (literally: call them by name), here (i.e., with the Nazirite), it is not necessary, for when he says: “ these are for my Naziriteship,” it is as if he designated their purpose for each and every one, for a ewe-lamb is not appropriate other than for a sin-offering and a lamb is for a burnt offering and a ram is for a sin-offering.

ומשלח תחת הדוד – where they cook in it the peace offering sacrifice.

היה מגלח במדינה – in Jerusalem (as opposed of in Temple proper) , and even though it is written (Numbers 6:18): “at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting,” it is not exact, but rather to teach that he does not shave until the opening of the [Tent of Meeting] is open.

לא היה משלח תחת הדוד – as It is written (Numbers 6:18): “[The nazirite]…shall take the locks of his consecrated hair and put them on the fire [that is under the sacrifice of well-being].” He who is not wanting other than taking and placing, excluding the person who is wanting taking and bring and placing under the cauldron.”

במה דברים אמורים – that in the Temple, he (i.e., the Nazirite) takes the hair and casts it under the cauldron, with the shaving in a state of [ritual] purity,

even if he shaved in the Temple, he does not take the hair and casts it under the cauldron of the guilt offering and the sin-offering of the fowl, for it is not written, ‘the placement of the hair under the cauldron, other than with a ritually pure Nazirite.

הכל משלחין – the [ritually] pure Nazirite in the Temple or in the provinces except for an impure [Nazirite] who shaved in the provinces because his [cut] hair is buried. And the Jewish legal decision is that one does not cast [his hair] underneath the cauldron other than a [ritually] pure Nazirite who shaved at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting which was performed according to the ritual commandment. But if he cast [his hair] under the cauldron for a sin-offering, he has fulfilled [his obligation], it is not stated that which is underneath the sacrifice of the peace offering (verse 18), other than for the Mitzvah.

ואח"כ הותר הנזיר לשתות יין – as it is written (Numbers 6:20): “after that the nazirite may drink wine,” after all of the actions.

ר"ש אומר כו' – It is written here, “after that the nazirite may drink wine” (Numbers 6:20) and it is written there (Numbers 6:19): “after he has shaved his consecrated hair.” Just as there, it is after the action of an individual, also here, it is after the action of an individual. For we have learned, that since one of the bloods [from the three sacrifices] is sprinkled upon him, it is permitted to drink wine and to become defiled to the dead, and such is the Halakha.

ונמצא פסול – as for example, if its blood was spilled or it left or was [ritually] defiled.

תגלחתו פסולה – since the sacrifice was disqualified that shaved upon, it was for him like bandits/thugs had shaved him for we said above (Tractate Nazir, Chapter 6, Mishnah 3; also see Talmud Nazir 39b as he source for Rabbi Eliezer’s comment ahead as pointed out in the commentary of Tosafot Yom Tov), according to Rabbi Eliezer, he loses seven days, and according to the Rabbis, he loses thirty days.

וזבחיו לא עלו לו – the rest of the sacrifices that he offered after his invalid shaving did not count for him, for since he needs to make void the days of the Nazirite’s vow which have been observed, until his hair grows, it is as if he offered them prior to their [appropriate] occasion.

על החטאת שלא לשמה – that is on the sacrifice and it is found invalid, for a sin-offering that is not offered for its own sake is invalid. And since it was necessary to teach about the burnt-offering and on the peace offering, concerning the dispute between Rabbi Shimon and the Rabbis, it (i.e., our Mishnah) also teaches about the sin-offering.

על העולה ועל השלמים שלא לשמן וכו' תגלחתו פסולה – for since they did not count for the sake of the obligation of the peace offerings of he Nazirite and the burnt offering of the Nazirite, it is for him like he shaved on the burnt offering of a free-will offering and a free-will offering of a peace offering. But Rabbi Shimon holds that if he shaved on a free-will burnt offering and a free-will peace offering, he has fulfilled his obligation, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

אם גלח על שלשתן – after he offered all three (i.e., sin-offering, burnt-offering and peace offering),

his shaving is valid, according to all opinions, for it is taught in the Mishnah (i.e., this Mishnah), that if he cut his hair on one of the three [sacrifices which was found valid], he has fulfilled his religious obligation.

ר"א אומר סותר את הכל – he doesn’t lose all of the days as is stated, but loses all of the sacrifices, and Rabbi Eliezer, according to his reasoning, who stated that the Nazirite is not permitted to drink wine [at this point], but rather, after all of the deeds [together], after the bringing of all of the sacrifices. And when he became defiled prior to bringing all of them, it is as if he became defiled in the morning prior to offering in the name of any of them, and it is that this sacrifice that he offered is as if he had brought them while being filled.

וחכמים אומרים יביא שאר קרבנותיו ויטהר – an explanation: that when he will become [ritually] pure, and that sacrifice which he brought in purity, he should not go back and bring it. Our Rabbis, according to their reasoning who stated that after the single action, it is permitted to drink wine and it is permitted to shave/cut his hair. Therefore, prior to his becoming defiled, it was appropriate to shave/cut his hair and not lose that sacrifice, but the other sacrifices that he offered, from when he became defiled certainly he loses, for the Biblical verse is strict that all of the Nazirite sacrifices should be offered in [ritual] purity.

מרים התרמודית – She was from Tarmod, and the Halakha is according to the Sages.
