Text Excerpt
אם תמצא לומר הא לא אמר לה, אמר לה ״מופר ליכי למחר״, מהו? מי אמרינן: למחר לא מצי מיפר, דהא קיימיה לנדריה היום, או דלמא: כיון דלא אמר לה ״קיים ליכי היום״, כי קאמר לה ״מופר ליכי למחר״, מהיום קאמר.
If you say that since he did not explicitly say to her that the vow is nullified, this means that it remains in force, then if he said to her: It is nullified for you tomorrow, what is the halakha? Do we say that on the following day he cannot nullify it, as he has already ratified the vow today, in that he did not nullify it “on the day that he hears it” (Numbers 30:8)? Or perhaps, since he did not explicitly say to her: It is ratified for you today, then when he says to her: It is nullified for you tomorrow, he is actually saying that the nullification begins from today, so that the vow is nullified.
ואם תמצא לומר אפילו הכי, כיון דקיימו היום — למחר כמאן דאיתיה דמי, אמר לה ״קיים ליכי שעה״, מהו? מי אמרינן: כמאן דאמר לה ״מופר ליכי לאחר שעה״ דמי, או דלמא: הא לא אמר לה?
And if you say: Nevertheless, since he ratified it today, as he said that it is nullified only tomorrow, on the following day it is considered already in force and he cannot nullify it, then if he said to her: It is ratified for you for an hour, what is the halakha? Do we say that it is like one who said to her: It is nullified for you after an hour has passed? Or perhaps, since he did not say this to her explicitly, it is not nullified?
אם תמצא לומר הא לא אמר לה, מיהו אמר לה, מאי? מי אמרינן: כיון דקיימו קיימו, או דלמא: כיון דכוליה יומא בר הקמה ובר הפרה הוא, כי אמר ״מופר ליכי לאחר שעה״ מהני?
If you say that since he did not say so to her explicitly, therefore the vow is not nullified after an hour, still, if he explicitly said to her that it is nullified after an hour, what is the halakha? Do we say that since he has ratified this vow, in that he explicitly withheld nullification for an hour, he has ratified it and can no longer nullify it? Or, perhaps since the entire day is valid for ratification and valid for nullification, when he says: It is nullified for you after an hour, it is effective.
