Mishnah 1

Mishnayos Nedarim Perek 4 Mishnah 6

נדרים פרק ד׳ משנה ו׳

6
In the case of one for whom benefit from another is forbidden by vow, that other person may neither lend an item to him nor borrow an item from him. Similarly, he may neither lend money to him nor borrow money from him. And he may neither sell an item to him nor purchase an item from him. One said to another: Lend me your cow. The other person said to him: My cow is not available. The one seeking to borrow the cow responded angrily: Plowing my field with this cow is konam forever. If it was his typical manner to plow the field himself, then it is prohibited for him to plow his field with that cow but it is permitted for every other person. If it is not his typical manner to plow the field himself, and he has others plow for him, it is prohibited for him and for every other person to plow his field with that cow, because his intent was to render benefit from plowing with this cow forbidden.
הַמֻּדָּר הֲנָאָה מֵחֲבֵרוֹ, לֹא יַשְׁאִילֶנּוּ וְלֹא יִשְׁאַל מִמֶּנּוּ, לֹא יַלְוֶנּוּ וְלֹא יִלְוֶה מִמֶּנּוּ, וְלֹא יִמְכֹּר לוֹ וְלֹא יִקַּח מִמֶּנּוּ. אָמַר לוֹ, הַשְׁאִילֵנִי פָרָתֶךָ. אָמַר לוֹ, אֵינָהּ פְּנוּיָה. אָמַר קוֹנָם שָׂדִי שֶׁאֲנִי חוֹרֵשׁ בָּהּ לְעוֹלָם, אִם הָיָה דַרְכּוֹ לַחֲרֹשׁ, הוּא אָסוּר וְכָל אָדָם מֻתָּרִין. אִם אֵין דַּרְכּוֹ לַחֲרֹשׁ, הוּא וְכָל אָדָם אֲסוּרִין:
ו׳

המודר הנאה חמבירו לא ישאילנו – as a decree lest he borrow from him, and he forbade benefit of that person upon him. But similarly, he cannot lend him, as a decree lest he borrow from him.

ולא ימכור לו – for less than its worth/value, a decree lest he also purchase from him for less than its worth/value and it is found that he is benefitting.

אם היה דרכו לחרוז הוא אסור – he did not intend other than that he himself should not plow like he was accustomed, but others will plow.

ואם אין דרכו לחרוש – his intention was not to plow it, neither him nor others.

המודר הנאה מחבירו לא ישאילנו. גזירה שמא ישאל ממנו, והוא אסר הנאת אותו פלוני עליו. וכן לא ילונו, גזירה שמא ילוה ממנו:

ולא ימכור לו. בפחות משויו, גזירה שמא יקח ממנו נמי בפחות משויו ונמצא נהנה:

אם היה דרכו לחרוש הוא אסור. דלא איכוין אלא שלא יחרוש הוא עצמו כמו שהיה רגיל, אבל אחרים יחרשו:

ואם אין דרכו לחרוש. דעתו היה שלא יחרשו בה לא הוא ולא אחרים:

Mishnah 2

Mishnayos Nedarim Perek 4 Mishnah 7

נדרים פרק ד׳ משנה ז׳

In the case of one for whom benefit from another is forbidden by vow and who does not have anything to eat, the one from whom benefit is forbidden goes to the shopkeeper and says to him: So-and-so vowed that benefit from me is forbidden for him and I do not know what I will do. After grasping his intent, the shopkeeper gives food to the one for whom benefit is forbidden, and then the shopkeeper comes and takes payment for the food from that one who spoke to him. Similarly, if the house of one for whom benefit is forbidden by a vow was to be built, his fence to be erected, or his field to be harvested, and laborers were required but he had no money to hire them, the one from whom benefit is forbidden goes to the laborers and says to them: Benefit from me is forbidden by vow to so-and-so and I do not know what I will do. And the laborers perform those tasks with him, and come and take payment for their labor from that person who approached them.
הַמֻּדָּר הֲנָאָה מֵחֲבֵרוֹ וְאֵין לוֹ מַה יֹּאכַל, הוֹלֵךְ אֵצֶל הַחֶנְוָנִי וְאוֹמֵר, אִישׁ פְּלוֹנִי מֻדָּר מִמֶּנִּי הֲנָאָה וְאֵינִי יוֹדֵעַ מָה אֶעֱשֶׂה, וְהוּא נוֹתֵן לוֹ וּבָא וְנוֹטֵל מִזֶּה. הָיָה בֵיתוֹ לִבְנוֹת, גְּדֵרוֹ לִגְדֹּר, שָׂדֵהוּ לִקְצֹר, הוֹלֵךְ אֵצֶל הַפּוֹעֲלִים וְאוֹמֵר, אִישׁ פְּלוֹנִי מֻדָּר מִמֶּנִּי הֲנָאָה וְאֵינִי יוֹדֵעַ מָה אֶעֱשֶׂה. הֵם עוֹשִׂין עִמּוֹ, וּבָאִין וְנוֹטְלִין שָׂכָר מִזֶּה:
ז׳

ואין לו מה יאכל – it (i.e., the Mishnah) took a usual incident, and the same law applies even if he has what to eat.

ובא זה ונוטל מזה – if he wants to give him, and he doesn’t violate his vow. But he cannot force him to pay him, for this one did not say to him: “Give him and I will pay.” But if he said to him, yes, it is prohibited, for that makes him into an agent.

ואין לו מה יאכל. אורחא דמלתא נקט, וה״ה אפילו יש לו מה יאכל:

ובא זה ונוטל מזה. אם ירצה ליתן לו, ואינו עובר על נדרו. אבל אינו יכול לכופו לשלם לו, דהא לא אמר לו תן לו ואני אפרע. ואם אמר לו כן, אסור, דהא שליח שוייה:
