3)

What are the connotations of the word "Yavi Oso"? Who brings whom?

1.

Rashi, Seforno and Targum Yonasan: It refers to himself 1 (He brings himself to the Kohen to perform the necessary ritual to release him from his Nezirus. 2

Rashbam: It means that the Nazir brings his Korban - as the Pasuk goes on to explain.

3.

Sifri: It means that he - and not anybody else - brings himself to the Kohen . 3


1

Rashi: This is one of three locations where R. Yishmael explains 'Es' 'Oso' and 'Osam' in this way. The other two are in Emor Vayikra, 22:15 - "Ve'hisi'u Osam (es atzmam) Avon Ashmah" and in ve'Zos ha'Berachah Devarim, 34:6 - "Va'yikbor Oso (es Atzmo) ba'Gai".

2

Seforno: Since there is nobody superior to himself to whom to bring him. And that explains why the Torah only uses this Lashon in connection with a Tahor Nazir - not by a Tamei Nazir or by any other Tamei person, by whom, based on the principle 'A person cnnot set himself free from prison', he is always brought by someone who is on higher level than himself. See Seforno.
