If a woman makes a Nazirite vow and sets aside the requisite animal [for the sacrifice] and her husband subsequently declares [the vow] void, then, if the animal was one of his own, it can be put to pasture with the herd, but if it was one of hers, the sin-offering is to be left to die, the burntoffering is to be offered as an [ordinary] burntoffering, and the peace-offering is to be offered as an [ordinary] peace-offering. This [last], however, may be eaten for one day [only], and requires no loaves. If she has a lump sum of money [set aside for the purchase of sacrifices] it is to be used for free-will offerings; if earmarked money, the price of the sin-offering is to be taken to the Dead Sea; the use of it is forbidden, but involves no malappropriation; for the sum set aside for the burnt-offering, a burnt-offering is to be provided, the use of which involves malappropriation; whilst for the sum set aside for the peace-offering, a peace-offering is to be provided, which may be eaten for one day [only] and requires no loaves. |

If one of the kinds of blood has been sprinkled on her behalf, [the husband] can no longer annul [the vow]. R. Akiba says, if even one of the animals has been slaughtered on her behalf, he can no longer annul [the vow]. The above is true only if she is polling [after observing the Naziriteship] in purity, but if she is polling after ritual defilement, he can [still] annul [the vow], because he can say, `I cannot tolerate an unseemly wife,` Rabbi says that he can annul [Her vow] even if she is polling [after observing the Naziriteship] in purity, since he can aver that he cannot tolerate a woman who is polled |
