Text Excerpt
שנאמר: ״כל גיא ינשא״.
as it is stated: “Every valley should be lifted” (Isaiah 40:4). When Rav Yosef heard that interpretation, he understood that Rava was aware of the error of his ways in acting arrogantly toward his teacher, and was pacified by Rava’s display of humility.
תניא: הנודר מן הדגן — אסור אף בפול המצרי יבש, ומותר בלח. ומותר באורז, בחילקא, בטרגיס ובטיסני. הנודר מן פירות השנה — אסור בכל פירות השנה, ומותר בגדיים ובטלאים ובחלב ובביצים ובגוזלות. ואם אמר ״גידולי שנה עלי״ — אסור בכולן.
§ It is taught in a baraita: For one who vows that grain [dagan] is forbidden to him, it is prohibited to partake of the dry cowpea, and it is permitted for him to partake of fresh cowpea. And it is permitted for him to partake of rice, as well as of wheat kernels split into two parts [ḥilka], of wheat kernels crushed into 3 parts [targeis], and wheat kernels crushed into 4 parts [tisnei]. For one who vows that produce of the year is forbidden to him, it is prohibited to partake of all produce of the year that grew from the ground or on trees, and it is permitted for him to partake of goats, and of lambs, and of milk, and of eggs, and of chicks born that year, as they are not included in the category of produce. And if he said: Growths of the year are forbidden to me, it is prohibited for him to eat all of them.
הנודר מן פירות הארץ — אסור בכל פירות הארץ, ומותר בכמהין ופטריות. ואם אמר ״גידולי קרקע עלי״ — אסור בכולן.
For one who vows that produce of the land is forbidden to him, it is prohibited for him to partake of all produce that grows from the land, and it is permitted for him to partake of truffles and mushrooms that are not in the category of produce of the land. But if he said: The growths of the ground are forbidden to me, it is prohibited for him to eat all of them.
