R. Eliezer also ruled: a new fact may be given as an opening; but the Sages forbid it. E.g., if a man said, `Konam that I benefit not from so and so, and he [the latter] then became a Scribe, or was about to give his son in marriage, and he declared, `had I known that he would become a Scribe or was about to give his son in marriage, I would not have vowed; ` [or if he said,] `Konam, if I enter not this house,` and it became a Synagogue, and he declared, had I known that it would become a Synagogue, I would not have vowed: R. Eliezer permits it, but the Sages forbid it. |

R. Meir said: some things appear as new facts, and yet are not [treated] as new; but the Sages do not agree with him. E.g., if one says, `Konam that I do not marry so and so, because her father is wicked,` and he is [then] told, he is dead, or, he has repented; `Konam, if I enter this house, because it contains a wild dog, or, `because it contains a serpent,` and he is [then] informed, the dog is dead, or, the serpent has been killed, these are as new facts, yet actually not [treated] as new facts. But the Sages do not agree with him. |
