Translation:Talmud/Seder Nashim/Tractate Nedarim/2a

Mishnah
ALL THE SUBSTITUTES FOR [THE FORMULAS OF] VOWS HAVE THE VALIDITY OF VOWS.1 THOSE FOR HARAMIM ARE LIKE HARAMIM,2 THOSE FOR OATHS ARE LIKE OATHS, AND THOSE FOR NEZIROTH ARE LIKE NEZIROTH.3 IF ONE SAYS TO HIS NEIGHBOUR, ‘I AM DEBARRED FROM YOU BY A VOW, [OR] I AM SEPARATED FROM YOU,’ [OR] ‘I AM REMOVED FROM YOU, IN RESPECT OF AUGHT4 THAT I MIGHT EAT OF YOURS OR THAT I MIGHT TASTE OF YOURS,’ HE IS PROHIBITED. IF HE SAYS: I AM BANNED TO YOU,’ THEN R. AKIBA WAS INCLINED TO GIVE A STRINGENT RULING.5
