הריני נזיר מכאן עד מקום פלוני. והחזיק בדרך כדי ללכת לאותו מקום. אבל אם לא החזיק ללכת לאותו מקום, נעשה כאומר מכאן ועד סוף העולם והוי נזיר ל׳ יום, בין שהיה המקום קרוב בין שהיה רחוק ואפילו מהלך כמה שנים, שלא נתכוין אלא לנזירות אחת גדולה:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Nazir Perek 1 Mishnah 7
נזיר פרק א׳ משנה ז׳
Bartenura
מונה נזירו כמנין ימות השנה – three hundred and sixty five [periods] of Naziriteship like the number of days of the solar year.
אמר רבי יהודה מעשר היה כיון שהשלים מת – Rabbi Yehuda had the tradition that Rabbi [Judah the Prince] disputed the first Tanna/Teacher [of the Mishnah] and stated that the individual who states “Behold I am a Nazirite like the number of days of the solar year – is a life-long Nazirite.” And he brought the episode to prove that he is not a life-long Nazirite for this was the case, and when he completed [his Nazirite vow] he died, and regarding completion [of a term], the [notion of] a life-long Nazirite does not belong , but rather a real case would count his Naziritieships, and such is the Halakha.
מונה נזירות כמנין ימות השנה. שס״ה נזירות כמנין ימות החמה:
אמר רבי יהודה מעשה היה כיון שהשלים מת. ר׳ יהודה שמעיה לרבי דאפליג אתנא קמא ואמר שהאומר הריני נזיר כמנין ימות החמה הוי נזיר עולם. והביא מעשה להוכיח שאינו נזיר עולם, דמעשה היה וכיון שהשלים מת, ובנזיר עולם לא שייך השלמה, אלא ודאי מונה נזיריות. וכן הלכה:
