1If a specification is not made the term for a nazirite vow is 30 days.אסְתָם נְזִירוּת, שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם.
What is implied? If a person said: “I am a nazirite,” he must uphold his vow for no less than 30 days.כֵּיצַד? מִי שֶׁאָמַר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר', אֵין פָּחוֹת מִשְּׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם.
Even if he said: “I will be a nazirite for an excessively long and protracted time,” he must uphold the nazirite vows for only 30 days, for he did not specify a time.וְאַפִלּוּ אָמַר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר נְזִירוּת גְּדוֹלָה עַד מְאוֹד הַרְבֵּה הַרְבֵּה' - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם, שֶׁהֲרֵי לֹא פֵּרֵשׁ זְמַן.
2If he specified a time span that was less than 30 days, e.g., he said: “I will be a nazirite for one day,” “... for ten days,” or “... for twenty days,” he must observe the nazirite vow for 30 days. For there is no concept of a nazirite vow for less than 30 days. This concept was conveyed by the Oral Tradition.בפֵּרֵשׁ זְמַן פָּחוֹת מִשְּׁלוֹשִׁים, כְּגוֹן שֶׁאָמַר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר יוֹם אֶחָד' אוֹ 'עֲשָׂרָה יָמִים' אוֹ 'עֶשְׂרִים' - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם, שֶׁאֵין נְזִירוּת פְּחוּתָה מִשְּׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם. וְדָבָר זֶה הֲלָכָה מִפִּי הַקַּבָּלָה.
3If a person explicitly mentioned a time span greater than 30 days:, e.g., he mentioned 31 days, 40 days, 100 days, or 100 years, he is a nazirite for the time he specified, neither more nor less.גפֵּרֵשׁ זְמַן יוֹתֵר מִשְּׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם, כְּגוֹן שֶׁאָמַר 'אֶחָד וּשְׁלוֹשִׁים' אוֹ 'אַרְבָּעִים' אוֹ 'מֵאָה יוֹם', אוֹ 'מֵאָה שָׁנָה' - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר כַּזְּמָן שֶׁפֵּרֵשׁ, לֹא פָּחוֹת וְלֹא יוֹתֵר.
4When a person says: “I will be a nazirite for one hour,” he must uphold his nazirite vows for 30 days.דהָאוֹמֵר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שָׁעָה אַחַת', הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם.
If he said: “I will be a nazirite for 30 days and one hour,” he must be a nazirite for 31 days. For there is no conception of a nazirite vow only for hours.אָמַר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם וְשָׁעָה אַחַת' - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר אֶחָד וּשְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם, שֶׁאֵין נוֹזְרִין שָׁעוֹת.
5The following rules apply when a person says: “I will be a nazirite from here until this-and-this place.” If he did not set out on the road, he must uphold his nazirite vow for only 30 days. For his intent was to make a vow for a long nazirite vow, as evident from the fact that he did not specify a time.ההָאוֹמֵר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר מִכָּאן וְעַד מָקוֹם פְּלוֹנִי' - אִם לֹא הֶחֱזִיק בַּדֶּרֶךְ, הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם בִּלְבָד; שֶׁלֹּא נִתְכַּוֵּן זֶה אֶלָא לִנְזִירוּת גְּדוֹלָה, וַהֲרֵי לֹא פֵּרֵשׁ זְמַן.
Different rules apply if he set out on the way. If it was less than a 30 day journey, he must uphold his nazirite vow for 30 days. If it was more than a 30 day journey, he must observe one nazirite vow for the duration of the days of the journey.וְאִם הֶחֱזִיק בַּדֶּרֶךְ: אִם הָיָה מַהַלָךְ פָּחוֹת מִשְּׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם, הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם; וְאִם הָיְתָה יָתֵר מִשְּׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם, הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר נְזִירוּת אַחַת כְּמִנְיַן הַיָּמִים.
6When a person says; “I will observe two terms of nazirite vows,” or three or four, he must observe the number of nazirite vows he mentioned, each one lasting 30 days.ומִי שֶׁאָמַר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שְׁתֵּי נְזִירוֹת' אוֹ 'שָׁלוֹשׁ' אוֹ 'אַרְבַּע' - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר כְּמִנְיַן שֶׁאָמַר, כָּל נְזִירוּת מֵהֶן שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם.
At the end of each 30 day period, he must shave and bring his sacrifices and begin observing his second nazirite vow.וּבְסוֹף כָּל שְׁלוֹשִׁים וּשְׁלוֹשִׁים מְגַלֵּחַ וּמֵבִיא קָרְבְּנוֹתָיו וּמַתְחִיל לִמְנוֹת נְזִירוּת שְׁנִיָּה.
Even if he said: “I will observe 100,000 nazirite vows” - and it is impossible for him to live that long - he should observe them one by one until he concludes the amount of nazirite vows he took.אַפִלּוּ אָמַר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר מֵאָה אֶלֶף נְזִירוֹת', שֶׁאִי אֶפְשָׁר שֶׁיִּחְיֶה בַּזְּמָן הַזֶּה - הֲרֵי זֶה מוֹנֶה אַחַת אַחַת עַד שֶׁיָּמוּת, אוֹ עַד שֶׁיַּשְׁלִים מִנְיַן נְזִירוֹתָיו.
7When a person says: “I will observe nazirite vows as many days there are in a year,” he must observe as many nazirite vows as there are days in a year.זהָאוֹמֵר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר כְּמִנְיַן יְמוֹת הַשָּׁנָה' - מוֹנֶה נְזִירוֹתָיו כְּמִנְיַן יְמוֹת הַשָּׁנָה.
If he explicitly mentioned a solar year, he must observe 365 nazirite vows, with each one being 30 days long.אִם פֵּרֵשׁ שְׁנָת הַחַמָּה - מוֹנֶה שְׁלוֹשׁ מֵאוֹת וְחָמֵשׁ וְשִׁשִּׁים נְזִירוֹת, כָּל אַחַת מֵהֶן שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם.
If he mentioned a lunar year, he must observe 354 nazirite vows.וְאִם פֵּרֵשׁ שְׁנַת הַלְּבָנָה, מוֹנֶה שְׁלוֹשׁ מֵאוֹת וְאַרְבַּע וַחֲמִשִּׁים נְזִירוֹת.
If he did not explicitly state a solar or a lunar year, he must observe 354 nazirite vows.וְאִם סָתַם, מוֹנֶה שְׁלוֹשׁ מֵאוֹת וְאַרְבַּע וַחֲמִשִּׁים נְזִירוֹת.
The rationale is that as we already explained, with regard to vows, we follow the wording usually employed by people at large. Now, most of the solar years are 365 days long. Most of the lunar years are 354 days long. And when people at large use the term “year,” they mean a lunar year.שֶׁהֲרֵי בֵּאַרְנוּ שֶׁבְּכָל הַנְּדָרִים הוֹלְכִין אַחַר לְשׁוֹן בְּנֵי אָדָם, וְרֹב שְׁנֵי הַחַמָּה שְׁלוֹשׁ מֵאוֹת חֲמִשָּׁה וְשִׁשִּׁים יוֹם מוֹנִין לָהּ, וְרֹב שְׁנֵי לְבָנָה שְׁלוֹשׁ מֵאוֹת אַרְבַּע וַחֲמִשִּׁים יוֹם מוֹנִין לָהּ, וְאֵין קוֹרִין כָּל הָעָם שָׁנָה סְתָם אֶלָא לִשְׁנַת הַלְּבָנָה.
8When a person says: “I will observe one and a half nazirite vows,” he is obligated to observe two nazirite vows.חהָאוֹמֵר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר אַחַת וּמֶחְצָה', הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר שְׁתֵּי נְזִירוֹת.
When one says: “I will be a nazir and one day,” or “I will be a nazir and one hour,” he must observe two nazirite vows.אָמַר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר וְיוֹם אֶחָד', אוֹ 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר וְשָׁעָה אַחַת' - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר שְׁתַּיִם.
If he says: “I am a nazirite and one,” he must observe two nazirite vows.אָמַר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר, וְאַחַת' - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר שְׁתַּיִם.
If he says: “I am a nazirite, one, and more,” he must observe three nazirite vows.'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר, וְאַחַת, וְעוֹד' - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר שָׁלוֹשׁ נְזִירוֹת.
If he says: “I am a nazirite, one, more, and again,” he must observe four nazirite vows.'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר, וְאַחַת, וְעוֹד, וְשׁוּב' - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר אַרְבַּע נְזִירוֹת.
If he says: “I am a nazirite for 30 days and one day,” he must observe one nazirite vow for 31 days.'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם, וְיוֹם אֶחָד' - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר נְזִירוּת אַחַת שֶׁל שְׁלוֹשִׁים וְאֶחָד יוֹם.
9The following rules apply when there are two pairs of witnesses who testify concerning a person. One testifies that he took two nazirite vows. The other testifies that he took five vows. He is required to observe two vows. For included in the five are two and thus all testify that he took two vows.טמִי שֶׁהָיוּ שְׁתֵּי כִּתֵּי עֵדִים מְעִידִין אוֹתוֹ, אֵלּוּ מְעִידִין שֶׁנָּזַר שְׁתַּיִם, וְאֵלּוּ מְעִידִין שֶׁנָּזַר חָמֵשׁ - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר שְׁתַּיִם; שֶׁבִּכְלַל חָמֵשׁ שְׁתַּיִם, וַהֲרֵי כֻּלָּן הֵעִידוּ בִּשְׁתַּיִם.
10The following rules apply when a person took two nazirite vows, whether he took them both at the same time or took them one after the other, e.g., he said: “I am a nazirite for a day” and “I am a nazirite for a day.” If he counted the days of the first vow and set aside his sacrifices and then asked for the absolution of his vow and had it released, the days he observed the first vow can count for the second. He can bring the sacrifices that he set aside and complete his obligation.ימִי שֶׁנָּזַר שְׁתֵּי נְזִירוֹת, בֵּין שֶׁנָּזַר שְׁתֵּיהֶן בְּבַת אַחַת, בֵּין שֶׁנָּזַר זוֹ אַחַר זוֹ, כְּגוֹן שֶׁאָמַר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר הַיּוֹם הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר הַיּוֹם', וּמָנָה אֶת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה וְהִפְרִישׁ קָרְבָּן, וְאַחַר כָּךְ נִשְׁאַל עַל זֹאת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה וְהִתִּיר נִדְרוֹ - עָלְתָה לוֹ רִאשׁוֹנָה בַּשְּׁנִיָּה, וּמֵבִיא זֶה הַקָּרְבָּן וְנִפְטָר.
Moreover, even if he brought the sacrifices for his atonement and even if he shaved off his hair and then asked for his vow to be absolved, the observance of the first vow fulfills the second. The rationale is that the second vow does not take effect until after the first one is completed. And since the first vow was released, it is as if it did not exist initially.וְאַפִלּוּ הֵבִיא כַּפָּרָתוֹ, וְאַפִלּוּ גִּלַּח שְׂעָרוֹ וְאַחַר כָּךְ נִשְׁאַל עָלֶיהָ - עָלְתָה לוֹ רִאשׁוֹנָה בַּשְּׁנִיָּה; שֶׁהֲרֵי אֵין הַשְּׁנִיָּה חָלָה אֶלָא אַחַר הָרִאשׁוֹנָה, וְהָרִאשׁוֹנָה כֵּיוָן שֶׁהִתִּירָהּ כְּאִלּוּ אֵינָהּ מֵעִיקָרָהּ.
11When a person says: “I will be a nazirite forever” or “I will be a nazirite for all the days of my life,” he is considered as a nazirite forever. If he says: “I will be a nazirite for 1000 years,” he is considered as a nazirite for a limited time, even though it is impossible for a person to live for a 1000 years.יאמִי שֶׁאָמַר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר לְעוֹלָם', אוֹ 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר כָּל יְמֵי חַיַּי' - הֲרֵי זֶה נְזִיר עוֹלָם. וְאִם אָמַר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר אֶלֶף שָׁנָה' - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר לִזְמַן קָצוּב, וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאִי אֶפְשָׁר שֶׁיִּחְיֶה הָאָדָם אֶלֶף שָׁנָה.
12What is the difference between a nazirite forever and a nazirite for a limited time? A nazirite for a limited time is forbidden to cut his hair until the conclusion of his nazirite vow, as Numbers 6:5 states: “Throughout the days of his nazirite vow, a razor shall not pass over his head until the days are completed.” A nazirite forever, by contrast, may alleviate the burden of his hair with a razor every twelve months. When he cuts his hair, he must bring a sacrifice of three animals, as II Samuel 14:26 states with regard to Avshalom: “From year to year, when he would shave, because his hair was heavy for him and he would shave.” Avshalom was a nazirite forever. This concept is a halachah transmitted by the Oral Tradition.יבוּמַה בֵּין נְזִיר עוֹלָם לְנָזִיר לִזְמַן קָצוּב? שֶׁהַנָּזִיר לִזְמַן קָצוּב - אָסוּר לְגַלֵּח עַד סוֹף יְמֵי נִזְרוֹ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר "כָּל יְמֵי נֶדֶר נִזְרוֹ תַּעַר לֹא יַעֲבֹר עַל רֹאשׁוֹ עַד מְלֹאת הַיָּמִם" (במדבר ו, ה). וּנְזִיר עוֹלָם, אִם הִכְבִּיד שְׂעָרוֹ - מֵקֵל בְּתַעַר מִשְּׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ לִשְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ, וּמֵבִיא קָרְבְּנוֹתָיו שָׁלוֹשׁ בְּהֵמוֹת כְּשֶׁיְּגַלֵּחַ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר "וְהָיָה מִקֵּץ יָמִים לַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר יְגַלֵּחַ כִּי כָבֵד עָלָיו וְגִלְּחוֹ" (שמואל ב יד, כו) - וְאַבְשָׁלוֹם נְזִיר עוֹלָם הָיָה. וְדָבָר זֶה הֲלָכָה מִפִּי הַקַּבָּלָה.
When a nazirite forever becomes impure, he must bring sacrifices to atone for impurity and shave as is required in an instance of impurity like a nazirite for a limited time.וּנְזִיר עוֹלָם שֶׁנִּטְּמָּא - הֲרֵי זֶה מֵבִיא קָרְבָּן טֻמְאָה וּמְגַלֵּחַ תִגְלַחַת טֻמְאָה, כְּמוֹ נָזִיר לִזְמַן קָצוּב.
13Samson was not a nazirite in a complete sense, for he never took a nazirite vow. It was merely that the angel caused him to be separated from impurity.יגשִׁמְשׁוֹן לֹא הָיָה נָזִיר גָּמוּר - שֶׁהֲרֵי לֹא נָדַר בְּנָזִיר, אֶלָא הַמַּלְאָךְ הִפְרִישׁוֹ מִן הַטֻּמְאָה.
What were the laws applying to him? He was forbidden to drink wine and cut his hair. He was, however, permitted to incur impurity due to contact with the dead. This concept is a halachah transmitted by the Oral Tradition.וְכֵיצַד הָיָה דִּינוֹ? הָיָה אָסוּר בְּיַיִן וְאָסוּר בְּתִגְלַחַת, וּמֻתָּר הָיָה לְהִטַּמֵּא לַמֵּתִים. וְדָבָר זֶה הֲלָכָה מִפִּי הַקַּבָּלָה.
14Accordingly, if someone said: “Behold I am a nazirite like Samson,” he is a nazirite forever with regard to the prohibition against cutting his hair and drinking wine. He may not cut his hair every twelve months like others who are nazirites forever. He is, however, permitted to become impure because of contact with the dead.ידלְפִיכָךְ, מִי שֶׁאָמַר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר כְּשִׁמְשׁוֹן' - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר מִן הַיַּיִן וּמִן הַתִּגְלַחַת לְעוֹלָם, וְאֵינוֹ מְגַלֵּחַ כָּל שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ כִּשְׁאָר נְזִירֵי עוֹלָם, וּמֻתָּר לְהִטַּמֵּא לַמֵּתִים.
If one says: “My intent was to refer to another person whose name is also Samson,” he is not a nazirite.וְאִם אָמַר 'לֹא נִתְכַּוַּנְתִּי אֶלָא לְאִישׁ אַחֵר שֶׁשְּׁמוֹ שִׁמְשׁוֹן', אֵינוֹ נָזִיר.
When a person takes a nazirite vow like Samson’s, he is not permitted to have it absolved, for Samson’s nazirite vow was binding forever.וּמִי שֶׁנָּדַר נָזִיר כְּשִׁמְשׁוֹן - אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְהִשָּׁאֵל עַל נִדְרוֹ, שֶׁנְּזִירוּת שִׁמְשׁוֹן לְעוֹלָם הָיְתָה.
15When a person says: “Behold, I am like Samson,” “... like Manoach’s son,” “... like Delilah’s husband,” “... like the one who uprooted the gates of Gaza,” or “... like the one whose eyes were gouged out by the Philistines,” he must keep the nazirite restrictions observed by Samson even though these deeds could have been performed by another person.טוהָאוֹמֵר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר כְּשִׁמְשׁוֹן', 'כְּבֶּן מָנוֹחַ', 'כְּבַעַל דְּלִילָה', 'כְּמִי שֶׁעָקַר דַּלְתוֹת עַזָּה', 'כְּמִי שֶׁנִּקְּרוּ פְּלִשְׁתִּים אֶת עֵינָיו' - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר כִּנְזִירוּת שִׁמְשׁוֹן, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֶפְשָׁר שֶׁנַּעֲשׂוּ מַעֲשִׂים אֵלּוּ לְאִישׁ אַחֵר.
16The prophet Samuel of Rama was a nazirite forever. Therefore one who says: “Behold, I am like Samuel of Rama,” “... like Chanah’s son,” “... like Elkanah’s son,” “... like the one who hewed Agag at Gilgal,” or the like, he is a nazirite forever. We do not say that perhaps his intent was to refer to another person who performed such deeds.טזשְׁמוּאֵל הָרָמָתִי נְזִיר עוֹלָם הָיָה, לְפִיכָךְ הָאוֹמֵר 'הֲרֵינִי כִּשְׁמוּאֵל הָרָמָתִי', 'כְּבֶן חַנָּה', 'כְּבֶן אֶלְקָנָה', 'כְּמִי שֶׁשִּׁסַּף אֶת אֲגַג בַּגִּלְגָּל', וְכַיּוֹצֵא בְּאֵלּוּ - הֲרֵי זֶה נְזִיר עוֹלָם, וְאֵין אוֹמְרִין: שֶׁמָּא לְאִישׁ אַחֵר שֶׁמַּעֲשָׂיו כָּאֵלֶּה נִתְכַּוֵּן.
17When a person says: “Behold, I am a nazirite as this building is full” or “... as this container is full,” we investigate his intent.יזהָאוֹמֵר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר מְלוֹא הַבַּיִת' אוֹ 'מְלוֹא הַקֻּפָּה' - בּוֹדְקִין אוֹתוֹ:
If he says: “My intent was not to be a nazirite for my entire life. Instead, my intent was only to prolong the days of my nazirite vow for a long time,” he must observe his nazirite vow for only 30 days.אִם אָמַר 'לֹא הָיָה בְּדַעְתִּי שֶׁאֶהְיֶה נָזִיר כָּל יָמַי, וְלֹא נִתְכַּוַּנְתִּי אֶלָא לְהַאֲרִיךְ זְמַן הַנְּזִירוּת זְמַן מְרֻבֶּה' - הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם בִּלְבָד.
If he said: “I made this vow without any specific intent,” we see the container as if it is filled with mustard seeds and he must be a nazirite for his entire life.וְאִם אָמַר 'סְתָם נָדַרְתִּי' - רוֹאִין אֶת הַקֻּפָּה כְּאִלּוּ הִיא מְלֵאָה חַרְדָּל, וְיִהְיֶה נָזִיר כָּל יָמָיו.
He is permitted to cut his hair every twelve months. At that time, he must bring sacrifices like everyone who is a nazirite forever.וְיֵשׁ לוֹ לְגַלַּח מִשְּׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ לִשְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ, וְיָבִיא קָרְבְּנוֹתָיו כִּשְׁאָר נְזִירֵי עוֹלָם.
18When a person says: “Behold, I am a nazirite like the hairs of my head,” “... like the dust of the earth,” or “like the sand of the sea,” it is as if he said: “I will keep as many nazirite vows as I have hairs on my head,” “... as there is dust on the earth,” or “... as there is sand on the seashore.”יחהָאוֹמֵר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר כִּשְׂעַר רֹאשִׁי', אוֹ 'כַּעֲפַר הָאָרֶץ', אוֹ 'כְּחוֹל הַיָּם' - הֲרֵי זֶה כְּמִי שֶׁאָמַר 'הֲרֵי עָלַי נְזִירוּת כְּמִנְיַן שְׂעַר רֹאשִׁי' אוֹ 'כְּמִנְיַן עֲפַר הָאָרֶץ' אוֹ 'כְּמִנְיַן חוֹל הַיָּם'.
Therefore he must shave his hair every 30 days and begin observing a second nazirite vow for 30 days, cut his hair and continue this pattern until he dies.לְפִיכָךְ, יְגַלַּח כָּל שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם, וְיַתְחִיל לִמְנוֹת נְזִירוּת שְׁנִיָּה שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם וִיגַלֵּחַ, וְכֵן עַד שֶׁיָּמוּת.
Whenever he shaves his hair, he is forbidden to drink wine or become impure because of contact with the dead. If he drinks wine or becomes impure, even on the day he shaves his head, he is worthy of lashes.וּבְכָל תִגְלַחַת וְתִגְלַחַת - אֵינוֹ שׁוֹתֶה בְּיַיִן, וְלֹא מִטַּמֵּא לַמֵּתִים. וְאִם שָׁתָה אוֹ נִטַּמָּא, אַפִלּוּ בְּיוֹם הַתִּגְלַחַת - הֲרֵי זֶה לוֹקֶה.
19When a person says: “Behold, I am a nazirite if I eat this loaf of bread,” “Behold, I am a nazirite if I eat it,” and “Behold, I am a nazirite if I eat it,” if he eats it, he is obligated to observe as many nazirite vows as he took. He observes them consecutively, each one for 30 days. At the end of each 30 days, he shaves his hair and brings his sacrifices.יטהָאוֹמֵר 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר אִם אֹכַל כִּכָּר זוֹ', 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר אִם אֹכְלֶנָּה', 'הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר אִם אֹכְלֶנָּה', וַאֲכָלָהּ - הֲרֵי זֶה חַיָּב בִּנְזִירוֹת כְּמִנְיַן שֶׁאָמַר. וּמוֹנֶה אַחַת אַחַר אַחַת, כָּל אַחַת מֵהֶן שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם, וּמְגַלֵּחַ בְּסוֹף כָּל שְׁלוֹשִׁים וּמֵבִיא קָרְבְּנוֹתָיו.
