11)[line 33]נזיר שמשוןNEZIR SHIMSHON

A Nezir Shimshon is a Nazir until the end of his life, with the exception that he may come in contact with a corpse (and does not have to bring a Korban for doing so). He is never allowed to cut his hair or drink wine.

12)[line 34]איסור כוללISUR KOLEL

(a)An object that is already prohibited by one Isur Torah cannot become prohibited by a second one (Ein Isur Chal Al Isur). However, there are a number of possible exceptions to this principle (when we rule Isur Chal Al Isur) that are debated by the Tana'im (Chulin 101a):

1.Isur b'Vas Achas - Two Isurim may take effect at the same instant to prohibit the same object.

2.Isur Kollel - The second Isur may take effect if it includes objects that the first Isur did not (e.g. Yom ha'Kipurim prohibits not only the eating of Neveilos, but Kosher foods as well).

3.Isur Mosif - The second Isur may take effect if it adds a new dimension of Isur to the first (e.g. it prohibits the object to people who were not included in the first Isur, or it makes the object Asur b'Hana'ah and not just Asur to be eaten.

4.Isur Chamur (according to Rebbi Yehudah) - A more stringent Isur can take effect on an object that is already prohibited by a less stringent Isur (e.g. the prohibition of Gid ha'Nasheh is more stringent than the prohibition of non-Kosher animals, since it applied to Benei Yakov when they were still permitted to eat non-Kosher animals).

(b)According to Rebbi Shimon, an object that is already prohibited can never become prohibited by another Isur, even if the second Isur is Kolel, Mosif or Chamur.

13)[line 35]פסולי מוקדשיןPESULEI HA'MUKDASHIN

(a)Pesulei ha'Mukdashin are animals designated as Korbanos that have become unfit to be offered upon the Mizbe'ach due to the development of a Mum (blemish). They must be redeemed. After that point, they still may not be used for labor, shorn or milked. They may, however, be slaughtered and eaten (Bechoros 15b).

(b)The Mishnah in Bechoros (5:1) explains that the meat of Pesulei ha'Mukdashin may be sold in the marketplace and weighed with regular weights. Although such actions would normally be considered disrespectful for animals that were Kadosh, this is permitted for the benefit of Hekdesh. Since this is the way to fetch the highest price for them, this is turn raises the price of their redemption.

(c)Our Gemara teaches that one who breeds or does work with Pesulei ha'Mukdashin is liable to Malkus for Kil'ayim, because the Torah compares such animals to: (a) both Chulin and Kodshim (RIVAN); (b) deer and gazelles "כַּצְּבִי וְכָאַיָּל" (Devarim 12:15 - RABBEINU TAM cited in Tosfos).
