One who makes a neder prohibiting “those who rest on the Sabbath” is forbidden to [benefit from] Jews and forbidden to [benefit from] Cutheans; [if] “those who eat garlic” —- he is forbidden to [benefit from] Jews and forbidden to [benefit from] Cutheans; [if] “the pilgrims to Jerusalem” —- he is forbidden to [benefit from] Jews, but permitted to [benefit from] Cutheans.

[If one says:] “Konam what I benefit from the descendants of Noah” —- he is permitted to [benefit from] Jews, but is forbidden to [benefit from] gentiles; “[Konam] what I benefit from the progeny of Abraham” —- he is forbidden to [benefit from] Jews, but is permitted to [benefit from] gentiles. “[Konam] what I benefit from Jews” —- he must buy for more, and sell for less; “[Konam] what Jews benefit from me” —- he must buy for less and sell for more, if they listen to him; “[Konam] what I benefit from them, and they from me” —- he may benefit gentiles.  [If one says:] “Konam what I benefit from `the uncircumcised' ” —- he is permitted to [benefit from] uncircumcised Jews, but forbidden to [benefit from] circumcised gentiles; “Konam what I benefit from `the circumcised' ” —- he is forbidden [to benefit] from uncircumcised Jews, but is permitted to [benefit from] circumcised gentiles, for the term orlah is used only as a general name for gentiles, as it says: For all the nations are uncircumcised, and the whole house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart (Jeremiah 9:25), and it says: And this uncircumcised Philistine shall be ... (I Samuel 17:36), and it says: Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised be jubilant (II Samuel 1:20).  R' Elazar ben Azariah says: Detestable is the fore-skin, for with it the wicked are disparaged, as it says: For all the nations are uncircumcised (Jeremiah 9:25).  R' Yishmael says: Great is circumcision, for concerning it thirteen covenants were made.  R' Yose says: Great is circumcision which overrides the strict Sabbath. R' Yehoshua ben Korchah says: Great is circumcision, for concerning it even Moses, the righteous one, was not spared for one hour.  R' Nechemiah says: Great is circumcision which overrides negaim.  Rabbi says: Great is circumcision, for [despite] all the precepts which our forefathers Abraham fulfilled, he was not called “complete” until he circumcised [himself], as it says: “Walk before Me and be perfect” (Genesis 17:1).  Another thing: Great is circumcision, for if not for it the Holy One —- Blessed is He —- would not have created His world, as it says: “So says Hashem: If not for My covenant day and night, the laws of heaven and earth I would not have put [in place] (Jeremiah 33:25).

There are no [differences] between someone prohibited by a neder to benefit from another and someone prohibited by a neder to derive food-related benefits from him, except for treading by foot and utensils not used for food.  Someone prohibited by a neder from deriving food-[related benefits] from another should not lend him a flour-sieve, a grain-sieve, a mill, or an oven; but he may lend him a shirt, a ring, a cloak, earrings, and anything not used for food. [In] a place where things like these are rented, it is prohibited.

Someone prohibited by a neder to benefit from another —- [the latter] may contribute his half shekel [for him], pay his debt, and return his lost article to him. [In] a place where [people] take a reward for this, the benefit should go to the Temple.

He may separate his terumah and tithes with his knowledge, and he may sacrifice for him [the bird-offerings of zavin, zavos, and postpartum women, [and the] sin-offerings and guilt-offerings [of metzoraim].  He may teach him Midrash, Halachos, and Agga- dos, but he may not teach him Scripture; however, he may teach his sons and his daughters Scripture.  He may feed his wife and children, even though he is obligated in their sustenance.  However, he may not feed his animal, whether [it be] nonkosher or kosher. R' Eliezer says: He may feed the nonkosher one, but not the kosher one.  They said to him: What is the difference between a kosher and a nonkosher [animal]? He said to them: For the kosher one's soul belongs to heaven, but its body belongs to him; whereas the nonkosher one —- [both] its soul and body belong to heaven. They said to him: Even the nonkosher one —- its soul belongs to heaven, but its body belongs to him, for, if he wants, he can sell it to a non-Jew or feed it to dogs.

[If] someone was prohibited by a neder to benefit from another, and [the latter] entered to visit him, he may stand, but not sit.  He may afford him a healing of [his] person, but not a healing of [his] property. He may bathe with him in a large pool, but not in a small one.  He may sleep with him on the [same] bed. R' Yehudah says: In the summer, but not in the winter, for [then] he benefits him. But he may recline with him on the bed.  He may eat with him on the [same] table, but not from the [same] plate; however, he may eat with him from a plate which goes back [to the host]. He may not eat with him from the workers' food bowl.  He may not work with him on the same row; [these are] the words of R' Meir. The Sages, however, say: He may work far from him.

Someone prohibited by a neder made prior to Shemittah to benefit from another may not enter his field, and may not eat overhanging fruit. However [if the neder was made] in Shemittah, he may not enter his field, but he may eat from the overhanging fruit.  [If] prior to Shemittah, he made a neder prohibiting food-related benefits, he may enter the field, but may not eat the fruits; [if he made the neder] in Shemittah, he may enter [the field] and eat.

Someone prohibited by a neder to benefit from another shall not lend him, nor shall he borrow from him; he shall not lend him money, nor shall he borrow money from him; he shall not sell to him, nor shall he buy from him.  He said to him: “Lend me your vow.” He responded: “It is not available.” He said: “Konam, my field with respect to ever plowing [it] with it.” If it was his practice to plow, he is forbidden, but other people are permitted; if it is not his practice to plow, he and all [other] people are forbidden.

[If] someone is prohibited by a neder to benefit from another, and he does not have what to eat, [the other person] goes to the storekeeper, and says: “So-and-so is prohibited by a neder to benefit from me, and I don't know what to do.” He gives him, and collects from this one.  [If] he had a house to be built, a fence to be erected, [or] a field to be harvested, [the other person] goes to the workers, and says: “So-and-so is prohibited by a neder to benefit from me, and I don't know what to do.” They may work for him, and collect wages from this one.

[If] they were traveling on the road, and he did not have what to eat, he gives [food] to someone else as a gift, and that one is permitted it. If there is no one else with them, he puts [it] on a rock or on a fence, and says: “These are free for whoever should want,” and that one takes and eats; R' Yose, however, forbids [this].
