Where two groups of witnesses give evidence concerning a man, one saying that he vowed two naziriteships and the other that he vowed five, Beth Shammai say that the evidence is conflicting [in toto], and no Naziriteship operates at all, but Beth Hillel Say that `five` includes `two`, so that he becomes a Nazirite for two periods. |

Should a man say, `I intend to be a Nazirite, and his companion overhear and add `I too,` [and the next repeat] `I too`, all become Nazirites. If the first is released [from his vow], all are [automatically] released, but if the last one is released, he alone becomes free, the others remaining bound [by their vows]. If he says, `I intend to be a Nazirite, and his companion overhears and adds, `let my mouth be as his mouth and my hair as his hair, he [also] becomes a Nazirite. [If he says,] `I intend to be a Nazirite, and his wife overhears and adds, `I too,` He can declare her [vow] void, but his own remains binding. [If a woman says,] `I intend to be a Nazirite, and her husband overhears and adds, `I too,` He cannot declare [Her vow] void. |
