Text Excerpt

תניא כוותיה דרבא: ״אלו לחטאתי והשאר לשאר נזירותי״, דמי חטאת ⁠— ילכו לים המלח, והשאר ⁠— יביא חציו לעולה וחציו לשלמים. ומועלין בכולן, ואין מועלין במקצתן.

The Talmud notes that it is taught in a baraita in accordance with the opinion of Rava: If one said: This money is for my sin-offering and the rest is for the rest of my obligations of naziriteship, and he died, the money for the sin-offering is taken and cast into the Dead Sea, and as for the rest, he brings a burnt-offering with half of it, and half of it goes for a peace-offering. And one who benefits from all of it is liable for misuse of consecrated property, due to the value of a burnt-offering that is included in the money. But one is not liable for misuse of consecrated property if he benefits from some of the money, as the money he took is possibly that of the peace-offering, to which the prohibition against misuse does not apply.

״אלו לעולתי והשאר לשאר נזירותי״, דמי עולה ⁠— יביאו עולה, ומועלין בהן. והשאר יפלו לנדבה, ומועלין בכולן, ואין מועלין במקצתן.

If one said: This money is for my burnt-offering and the rest is for the rest of my obligations of naziriteship, the money for the burnt-offering goes for a burnt-offering, and one who benefits from it is liable for misuse of consecrated property. And the rest is allocated for communal gift offerings, as the sum includes the value of a sin-offering. And one who benefits from all of it is liable for misuse of consecrated property, due to the value of a sin-offering included in it, but one is not liable for misuse of consecrated property if he benefits from some of the money, as he might have taken the money for a peace-offering, as stated above.
