Why does the Torah insert "Motzei Sefasecha Tishmor Ve'asisa "?

1.

Rashi: To add an Asei to the Lo Sa'aseh (of "Lo Se'acher Leshalmo" - in the previous Pasuk). 1

2.

Ramban (in Pasuk 23): Refer to 23:24:1:1. 'In any event, having made the Neder, make sure to keep everything that you promised - and do not think that you will receive reward for your good intentions when making the Neder, even if you don't manage to carry it out'. 2

3.

Rosh Hashanah 6a: We learn an Asei from "Motzei Sefasecha" and a Lo Sa'aseh from "Tishmor". 3

4.

Yerushalmi Rosh Hashanah, 1:1: "Ve'asisa" has connotations of forcing, implying that Beis-Din force the person who is delaying his Neder by taking from him a security until he brings it. 4


1

Gur Aryeh ? Presumably, we learn it from "Ve'asisa" in the current Pasuk. Because even though it teaches us that Beis-Din force people, if it came only for that, it should have said 'Ve'asucha'!

2

Ramban: As Shlomoh ha'Melech said in Koheles, 5:3 & 4. See Ramban and R. Chavel's notes.

2)

Is a person Chayav to fulfill a Neder that he thinks but does not verbalize?

1.

Refer to Sh'mos, 35:22:1.1:2 and note.

3)

What is the difference between a Neder and a Nedavah (in the realm of Hekdesh)?

1.

Kinim 1:1: "Neder" is where the person says 'Harei alai ... ', which is a personal undertaking to bring a Korban; 1 "Nedavah", where he says 'Harei Zu ... ', declaring the animal Hekdesh. 2


1

Kinim 1:1: A Neder is subject to Achrayus - If the animal that he subsequently chooses gets lost or dies, he is obligated to replace it), but a Nedavah does not.

2

And bringing it immediately as a Korban in order to avoid sinning - that is the ideal way to bring a voluntary Korban. See Oznayim la'Torah.

4)

Why does the Torah insert the latter part of the Pasuk ? from "Ka'asher Nadarta" and onwards ? which is seemingly superfluous?

1.

Rosh Hashanah, 6a: "Ka'asher Nadarta" ? 'Zeh Neder': "la'Hashem Elokecha" ? 'Eilu Chatamos va'Ashamos, Olos u'Shelamim'; "Nedavah" ? kee'Mashma'ah'; "asher Dibarta" ? 'Eilu Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis'; "be'Ficha" ? 'Zu Tzedakah', 1 all of which are subjet to 'Bal Te'acher'.

See Torah Temimah, note 128.

5)

Seeing as the Torah is discussing a Neder, why does it add the word "Nedavah"?

1.

Zevachim, 2b: To teach us that, if the Neder is Shechted li'Shemah (in the name of the Korban that he designated it), he fulfilled his Neder; but if it is Shechted 'she'Lo li'Shemah' (in the name of a different kind of Korban) then it is brought as a Nedavah - and the owner is obligated to bring another one to fulfill his Neder.

2.

Yerushalmi Rosh Hashanah, 1:1: To teach us that if one delays sacrificing a number of Nedarim or a number of Nedavos, one transgresses 'Bal Te'acher ' on each animal. 1


1

See Torah Temimah, note 130.

6)

Since the entire second half of the Pasuk - from "Ka'asher Nadarta" is superfluous, why does the Torah insert it?

1.

Targum Yonasan and Rosh Hashanah, 6a: "Ka'asher Nadarta" - 'Zeh Neder"; "la'Hashem Elokecha" - 'Eilu Chata'os, va'Ashamos, Olos u'Shelamim'; "Nedavah" - 'ke'Mashma'ah': "asher Dibarta" - 'Eilu Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis'; "be'Ficha" - Zu Tzedakah', 1 all of which are subject to Bal Te'acher.


1

See Torah Temimah, note 128. This teaches us that Tzedakah is subject to Bal Te'achar, though the Shi'ur differs from that of Korbanos.
