משנה: שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא אוֹכַל וְאָכַל פַּת חִטִּים וּפַת שְׂעוֹרִים וּפַת כּוּסְמִין אֵינוֹ חַייָב אֶלָּא אַחַת. שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא אוֹכַל פַּת חִטִּים וּפַת שְׂעוֹרִים וּפַת כּוּסְמִין וְאָכַל חַייָּב עַל כָּל אַחַת וְאַחַת׃ שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא אֶשְׁתֶּה וְשָׁתָה מַשְׁקִין הַרְבֵּה אֵינוֹ חַייָב אֶלָּא אַחַת. שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא אֶשְׁתֶּה יַיִן וְשֶׁמֶן וּדְבַשׁ וְשָׁתָה חַייָב עַל כָּל אַחַת וְאַחַת׃ MISHNAH: An oath that I shall not eat; when he ate wheat bread, and barley bread, and spelt bread, he is liable only once25While he broke his oath many times, he is liable only for one sacrifice since there is only one oath to break..
An oath that I shall eat neither wheat bread, nor barley bread, nor spelt bread; when he ate wheat bred, and barley bread, and spelt bread, he is liable for each single one37He made three oaths, each one requiring a separate sacrifice..
An oath that I shall not drink; if he drank many kinds he is liable only for one. An oath that I shall drink neither wine, nor oil, not date syrup, if he drank he is liable for each single one.
הלכה: שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא אוֹכַל כול׳. שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא אוֹכַל פַּת. וּכְרָכָהּ בָעֲלֵי קָנִים וָעֲלֵי גְפָנִים וְאָכַל. אֵינוֹ חַייָב אֶלָּא אַחַת. שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא אוֹכַל פַּת וְחַרְצָנִין וְזָגִין. וּכְרָכָהּ בְּחַרְצָנִין וְזָגִין. חַייָב עַל כָּל־אַחַת וָאַחַת. וְאִם הָיָה נָזִיר חַייָב שָׁלֹשׁ. רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר. בְּכוֹלֵל. אֲבָל בָּפוֹרֵט אֵין שְׁבוּעוֹת חָלוֹת עַל אִיסּוּרִין. רֵישׁ לָקִישׁ אָמַר. אֲפִילוּ בְכוֹלֵל אֵין שְׁבוּעוֹת חָלוֹת עַל הָאִיסּוּרִין. HALAKHAH: “An oath that I shall eat neither,” etc. 38There is a long dissertation about this Halakhah in the commentary Mishneh Lammelekh to Maimonides, Hilkhot Ma’akhalot Asurot14:12.“An oath that I shall not eat bread” and he wrapped it in reed leaves or grape leaves and ate, he is liable only once39The expression “only once” is only because of the following sentence. For the bread wrapped in inedible leaves one has to state that he broke his oath even if the bread itself did not touch his mouth. (Grape leaves are edible when cooked; they may be marginally edible when raw.). “An oath that I shall not eat bread nor grape skin nor grape seeds, and he wrapped it in grape skins and grape seeds, he is liable for each one40As explained in the Mishnah., and if he was a nazir he is liable for three41The formulation is not quite correct. For the oath he is liable for three sacrifices (or, if duly warned, for three floggings) but for breaking the nazir’s prohibition of anything coming from grapes (Numbers.6.4">Num. 6:4) he is liable for flogging if duly warned, not for a sacrifice. His liability would be three sacrifices and one additional sin.. Rebbi Joḥanan said, in comprehensive form. But in detail, no oaths fall on prohibitions. Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, even in comprehensive form no oaths fall on prohibitions42Shevuot.22b">Babli 22b, Shevuot.23b">23b. In Nazir 1:2:5" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Nazir.1.2.5">Nazir1:2 (Note 55) R. Ze`ira proclaims as undisputed what here and in the Babli is R. Joḥanan’s opinion. Since all future Jewish souls were present at Mount Sinai, he already has sworn to keep the precepts of the Torah. Therefore an oath to break Torah prohibitions is void. R. Joḥanan holds that if an oath is valid since it contains matters not involving Torah prohibitions it is valid in general since an oath is either valid or invalid. R. Simeon ben Laqish (and in the Mishnah, R. Simeon ben Ioḥai) hold that oaths can be partially invalid; the parts infringing on Torah precepts are always void (Shevuot.33b">Babli 33b)..
