הלכות נזירות פרק ד · 5 Questions
Question 1
On which day should the purity shaving ideally be performed?
The ideal time is the 31st day, though it is valid from the 30th day onward (Halachah 1).
Question 2
A person vows 'I am a nazirite one day before I die.' What must he do?
Since no one knows when they will die, this vow creates permanent nazirite prohibitions (Halachah 10).
Question 3
A man vows 'I will be a nazirite forever' after having already vowed 'I will be a nazirite in 20 days.' What happens to the 20-day delayed vow?
A nazirite-forever vow supersedes and prevents a future-triggered limited vow from ever taking effect (Halachah 8).
Question 4
A woman completes her nazirite vow, and the sin offering's blood is sprinkled. Her husband then hears of the vow. Can he nullify it?
Once the blood of any sacrifice is sprinkled, the vow is beyond a husband's power to nullify (Halachah 17).
Question 5
A nazirite acted as if his vow were void for 10 days, then asked a sage who confirmed it was binding. He observed 20 more days. What must he now do?
He must make up the 10 days he violated, since the vow was always binding and those days do not count (Halachot 13–14).
