Should his wife miscarry, he does not become a Nazirite. R. Simeon said: [in this case] He must say, if it was a viable child, I am a Nazirite obligatorily; otherwise I undertake a Naziriteship voluntarily.` Should [his wife] later bear a child, he then becomes a Nazirite. R. Simeon said: He should say, `if the first was a viable child, the first [Naziriteship] was obligatory, and the present one will be voluntary, otherwise, the first one will have been voluntary, and the present one is obligatory. |
