Mesorat%20hashas for Nedarim 4:1

אֵין בֵּין הַמֻּדָּר הֲנָאָה מֵחֲבֵרוֹ לַמֻּדָּר הֵימֶנּוּ מַאֲכָל אֶלָּא דְרִיסַת הָרֶגֶל וְכֵלִים שֶׁאֵין עוֹשִׂין בָּהֶן אֹכֶל נֶפֶשׁ. הַמֻּדָּר מַאֲכָל מֵחֲבֵרוֹ, לֹא יַשְׁאִילֶנּוּ נָפָה וּכְבָרָה וְרֵחַיִם וְתַנּוּר, אֲבָל מַשְׁאִיל לוֹ חָלוּק וְטַבַּעַת וְטַלִּית וּנְזָמִים, וְכָל דָּבָר שֶׁאֵין עוֹשִׂין בּוֹ אֹכֶל נֶפֶשׁ. מְקוֹם שֶׁמַּשְׂכִּירִין כַּיּוֹצֵא בָהֶן, אָסוּר:

There is no difference between bevowing benefit from one's neighbor and bevowing food from him, but "the treading of the foot" [to pass through his land] or [to borrow from him] vessels not used for food [preparation, these being permitted to one who bevows himself from food, and forbidden to one who bevows himself from benefit.] If one bevows himself of food from his friend, he should not lend him a winnow, sieve, mill, or oven, [these being used in the processing of food, and, it goes without saying, a pot or a spit, which holds the food itself. The "bevowing from food" of our Mishnah is one's saying: "The enjoyment of your food upon me, konam."], but he may lend him garment, ring, cloak, ear-rings, and all things which are not used for food preparation. In a place where such things are hired out, it is forbidden. [For since it is customary to hire them out, and he (the lender) waives the rental, with that money, he (the borrower) can buy food — but he had bevowed him from (any) benefit which leads to (the procuring of) food.]
