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. See Seforno. 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.
