What case is the Pasuk referring to?

1.

Rashi, Ramban #1 and Rashbam: It refers to a case where her husband (or father) heard her Neder and endorsed it, 1 and then, even on the same day, 2 he annulled it.

2.

Ramban #2 and Seforno: It refers to where, after remaining silent on the day that his wife made the Neder, he annulled it the following day in front of her. 3


1

Rashbam: She did not know about the Kiyum. She heard only the Hafarah, and thinks that it is annulled.

2

See Sifsei Chachamim.

3

Ramban: And told her that he only heard about it on that day. See Ramban.

2)

What are the connotations of "Acharei Sham'o"?

1.

Sifri: It means after he heard it and endorsed it 1 - because the Torah has already discussed where he was silent after he heard it when it wrote "ki Hechrish lah be'Yom Sham'o" in the prevous Pasuk. 2


1

See Torah Temimah, note 85.

Refer to 30:12:

3)

What are the implications of "ve'Nasa es Avonah"?

1.

Rashi and Ramban #1: It implies that he stands in her place to be punished, 1 because he caused her to sin 2 (And if someone who causes his friend to sin is subbject to punishment, jow much more is someone who causes his friend to do a Mitzvah subjet to reward ? Sifri).

2.

Ramban #2: It implies that she is absolved from all guilt, since she was unaware of the fact that he knew about her Neder on the previous day 3 .

3.

Ibn Ezra: It implies that [he is punished for her sin] because she is under his jurisdiction. 4


1

Seforno: Just like anybody else who causes his friend to sin under similar circumstances.

2

Rashi: We learn from here that someone who causes someone else to sin in this way, is punished instead of him.

3

Ramban: But in the event that she did know, she is guilty and he is absolved from her sin, and is only taken to task for not stopping her from sinning.

4

Ramban: He must hold that he forces her to transgress, but that not correct.

4)

Why does the Torah present this case specifically by a husband and not by a father?

1.

Ramban: As a matter of fact, the same Din will apply to a father, and the reason that the Torah presents the case by a husband is because, whereas it sometimes happens that a husband hates his wife and causes her to sin, a father generally loves his daughter and will not do that to her.
