1) VOWS THAT INCLUDE AFFLICTION

1. If her husband annulled the vow, but she did not know and drank or became Teme'ah, she does not receive 40 lashes.

i. If he can only annul the part which pains her - perhaps he only annulled the prohibition of wine, which pains her, but not the prohibition to eat grape pits or peels!
ii. If so, the Mishnah should teach that she gets 40 lashes if she eats grape pits or skins.

(b) Answer #1 (Rav Yosef): Nezirus cannot be partial (so it is totally annulled).
(c) Objection (Abaye): Your words imply, there is a sacrifice for partial Nezirus!
(d) Answer #2 (Abaye): Nezirus cannot be partial, and there is no sacrifice for partial Nezirus.
(e) Question (against Abaye - Mishnah): A woman vowed to be a Nezirah; she separated an animal (for the sacrifice), and her husband annulled her Nezirus - she brings a bird as a sin-offering (if she was Teme'ah), but not a bird as a burnt-offering.

1. If there is no sacrifice for partial Nezirus - why does she bring a bird as a sin-offering?

(f) Counter-question: If you say that there is a sacrifice for partial Nezirus - she should bring all 3 animals (if she was Tehorah), a sin-offering, burnt-offering, and Shelamim!
(g) Answer: Really, there is no (regular) sacrifice for partial Nezirus.

1. She brings a bird as a sin-offering (if she became Teme'ah), since the Torah allowed this to be brought when in doubt (i.e. even though it might be unnecessary), and she needs atonement.

(h) Question (against R. Yochanan - Mishnah): A woman vowed to be a Nezirah, and became Teme'ah. Later, her husband annulled her Nezirus - she brings a bird as a sin-offering

1. If annulment only works on the part of the vow that is affliction - perhaps the annulment only works regarding wine, for abstinence from wine is affliction, but not regarding Tumah, for this is no affliction!

(i) Answer: Refraining from becoming Tamei is also an affliction (since she cannot bury others, no one will bury her)!

1. (Beraisa - R. Meir): "The living will take it to heart" - the eulogizer will be eulogized; those that cry over a Mes, others will cry over them; one who buries others will be buried.

(a) (Mishnah): A wife vowed that she will not benefit from the creations (i.e. people) - her husband cannot annul this, and she can take Leket, Shichchah and Pe'ah (gleanings, forgotten produce, and an unharvested corner of the field - agricultural gifts for the poor);
(b) A man vowed that Kohanim and Leviyim will not benefit from him - they may take (tithes and gifts due to them) against his will;

1. If he only forbade certain Kohanim and Leviyim, others take the tithes and gifts.

(c) (Gemara): (Since he may not annul), we infer that the wife may benefit from her husband - we see, when she says 'creations', this excludes her husband.
(d) Question: But the Mishnah continues, she can take Leket, Shichchah and Pe'ah - (since she must rely on these) we infer, she may not benefit from her husband!
(e) Answer #1 (Ula): Really, 'creations' excludes her husband (so it is not a vow between him and her) - also, it is not a vow of affliction, because she can take Leket, Shichchah and Pe'ah, therefore, he cannot annul.
(f) Answer #2 (Rava): Really, 'creations' includes her husband; the Mishnah explains the reason for the law.

1. He cannot annul because she may take Leket, Shichchah and Pe'ah.

(g) Answer #3 (Rav Nachman): Really, 'creations' excludes her husband; the 2nd clause of the Mishnah is a new law.

1. If she was later divorced, she can take Leket, Shichchah and Pe'ah.
