(Mishnah - R. Meir): If one vowed from 'Degen', he may not have dry Mitzri beans;

Chachamim say, he is forbidden only the five species (of grain, i.e. wheat, barley, oats, spelt, and rye).

R. Meir: If one vowed from Tevu'ah, he is forbidden only the five species, but if he vowed from Degen, all is forbidden. He is permitted fruit of trees and Yerek.

(Gemara): What is R. Meir's reason? ['Degen' is anything that is normally] piled up the ground.

What is Rabanan's reason? Degen is grain.

(Mishnah): If one vowed from bread or from grain, he is forbidden [the five grains]. R. Meir says so. (Chachamim say, one who vowed from 'Degen' is forbidden only them.)

Question: [Presumably, Rabanan argue with R. Meir, and say that] if one vowed from bread or from grain, he is forbidden all according to Rabanan!

Answer (R. Chiyah citing R. Yochanan): Our Mishnah says so, that if one vowed from 'Degen', he is forbidden only them. (Chachamim argue with the inference from R. Meir's words, that one who vowed from 'Degen' is forbidden everything. We explained this like PNEI MOSHE.)

Question: What is the case?

Suggestion: [He vowed from] 'bread of the Torah.'

Rejection: If so, even one who says 'grain of the Torah' should be forbidden everything, for it says "u'Sevu'as ha'Karem"!

Suggestion: He said 'bread' Stam (without specifying).

Rejection: The only thing called 'bread' Stam is wheat and barley!

Answer (R. Yosi): I established this in a place where they eat all bread. The only thing called 'bread' Stam is from the five grains.

(Mishnah): If one vowed from Kesus (clothing), he is permitted sackcloth, a curtain, and a blanket;

If he said 'Konam, wool will not come on me', he may cover himself with tufts of wool;

If he said 'linen will not come on me', he may cover himself with tufts of flax;

R. Yehudah says, it depends on (the situation at the time of) the vow:

If he was carrying (wool and linen) and he was sweating and stinking, and said 'wool and linen will not come on me', he may wear them, but he may not carry them on his back.

(Gemara): If one vowed from Kesus, he is permitted sackcloth, a curtain, a blanket, a leather smock, and leather workers' pants. He is forbidden [regular] leather garments.

If one vowed from Malbush (apparel), he is forbidden all kinds of Malbush, and permitted these.

Question (R. Yirmeyah citing R. Ze'ira): If one said 'Konam Kesus that I will not wear, Levush that I will not cover myself with it' (does he intend for his first words, or his latter words? - PNEI MOSHE)

(R. Shimon ben Elazar): Anything that it is normal to be covered with it, and it is normal to be covered with what comes from it - if he vowed from it, he is permitted what comes from it. If he vowed from what comes from it, he is permitted it.

What is there (that it is normal to be covered with it, and with what comes from it)? E.g. these hides (also wool, which is stuck to them, it is normal to be covered with it).

Anything that it is normal to be covered with it, and it is not normal to be covered with what comes from it - if he vowed from it, he is permitted what comes from it. If he vowed from what comes from it, he is forbidden it.

What is there (that it is normal to be covered with it, but not with what comes from it)? E.g. these leather tunics (with goats' hair, which is used to make sackcloth, which it is not normal to wear).

And anything that it is not normal to be covered with it, and it is normal to be covered with what comes from it - if he vowed from it, he intended only for what comes from it.

Question: What is there (that it is not normal to be covered with it, only with what comes from it)?

Answer (R. Yosi bei R. Bun): E.g. the stick on which cotton grows.

Our Mishnah should say 'if he was carrying (wool and linen) and sweating, and said 'Konam wool and linen will not come on me', he may wear them, but he may not carry them on his back. If he was wearing wool, and was pained [due to it], and said 'Konam wool will not come on me', he is forbidden to wear it, but he may carry it on his back.' (We explained this like PNEI MOSHE.)
