Mishnah 1

Mishnayos Nazir Perek 2 Mishnah 5

נזיר פרק ב׳ משנה ה׳

5
If one says: I am hereby a nazirite and it is incumbent upon me to shave a nazirite, meaning he will also pay for the offerings that a nazirite brings when he cuts his hair; and another heard and said: And I too am a nazirite and it is incumbent upon me to shave a nazirite, the other is also a nazirite and is obligated to pay for the offerings of a nazirite. If they were perspicacious and wish to limit their expenses, they shave each other. They may each pay for the other’s offerings, so that their additional vows will not cost them anything. And if not, if this arrangement did not occur to them and each brought his own offerings, they shave other nazirites, i.e., they must pay for the offerings of other nazirites.
הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר וְעָלַי לְגַלֵּחַ נָזִיר, וְשָׁמַע חֲבֵרוֹ וְאָמַר וַאֲנִי וְעָלַי לְגַלֵּחַ נָזִיר, אִם הָיוּ פִקְּחִים, מְגַלְּחִים זֶה אֶת זֶה. וְאִם לָאו, מְגַלְּחִים נְזִירִים אֲחֵרִים:
ה׳

הריני נזיר ועלי לגלח נזיר – he accepted upon himself Naziriteship and furthermore, accepted upon himself to bring [hair] sacrifices for another Nazirite, and his friend also came and he stated the same thing.

אם היו פקחים – each one exempts his fellow with his [hair] sacrifices and even though that at the time that he took the first vow to shave a Nazirite, the second [person] was not yet a Nazirite.

הריני נזיר ועלי לגלח נזיר. קיבל עליו נזירות, ועוד קיבל עליו להביא קרבנות על נזיר אחר, ובא חבירו גם הוא ואמר כן:

אם היו פקחים. כל אחד פוטר את חבירו בקרבנותיו, ואע״פ שבשעה שנדר הראשון לגלח נזיר אכתי לא הוי השני נזיר:

Mishnah 2

Mishnayos Nazir Perek 2 Mishnah 6

נזיר פרק ב׳ משנה ו׳

6
If one says: It is incumbent upon me to shave half a nazirite, i.e., he is vowing to pay half the costs of a nazirite’s offerings, and another heard and said: And I, it is incumbent upon me to shave half a nazirite, this one shaves a whole nazirite and that one shaves a whole nazirite, i.e., each pays the full cost of a nazirite’s offerings; this is the statement of Rabbi Meir, since there is no such entity as half a nazirite. And the Rabbis say: This one shaves half a nazirite and that one shaves half a nazirite; they may join together to pay for the offerings of one nazirite.
הֲרֵי עָלַי לְגַלֵּחַ חֲצִי נָזִיר, וְשָׁמַע חֲבֵרוֹ וְאָמַר וַאֲנִי עָלַי לְגַלֵּחַ חֲצִי נָזִיר, זֶה מְגַלֵּחַ נָזִיר שָׁלֵם וְזֶה מְגַלֵּחַ נָזִיר שָׁלֵם, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, זֶה מְגַלֵּחַ חֲצִי נָזִיר וְזֶה מְגַלֵּחַ חֲצִי נָזִיר:
ו׳

[זה מגלח נזיר שלם] וזה מגלח נזיר שלם דברן ר"מ – Rabbi Meir according to his method of reasoning that he holds that the first language takes effect and when he says, “I pledge myself to bring the [hair] offering,” a full [hair] offering is mentioned, and when he mentions after that, one-half of the Nazirite hair-offering, it is not within his powers to retract, even as much time as is needed for an utterance (e.g., a greeting). But the Rabbis hold that if he vowed and they opened with him, it is like a person who said, “half of the sacrifices of the Nazirite are upon me, for he is not liable other than for half of the [hair] sacrifices of the Nazirite, and the Halakha is according to the Sages.

[זה מגלח נזיר שלם] וזה מגלח נזיר שלם דברי ר״מ. ר״מ לטעמיה דסבר תפוס לשון ראשון, וכי אמר הרי עלי לגלח, תגלחת שלימה קאמר, וכי הדר קאמר חצי נזיר, לאו כל כמיניה למיהדר ביה אפילו תוך כדי דבור. ורבנן סברי נדר ופתחו עמו הוא, והוי כאומר חצי קרבנות של נזיר עלי, שאינו חייב אלא חצי קרבנות של נזיר. והלכה כחכמים:
