[If a man says,] `I intend to be a Nazirite as the hairs of my head, or the dust of the earth, or the sands of the sea,` He becomes a life-Nazirite, polling every thirty days. Rabbi said that such a man does not poll every thirty days; the man who polls every thirty days is the one who says, `I undertake naziriteships as the hair on my head, or the dust of the earth, or the sands of the sea.` |

[If he says,] `I intend to be a Nazirite as the capacity of this house, or as the capacity of this basket,` we interrogate him. If he says that he has vowed one long period of Naziriteship, he becomes a Nazirite for thirty days, but if he says that he has vowed without attaching any precise meaning [to his statement], we regard the basket as though it were full of mustard seed, and he becomes a Nazirite for the whole of his life. |
