מִי שֶׁנָּזַר וְהוּא בְּבֵית הַקְּבָרוֹת, אֲפִלּוּ הָיָה שָׁם שְׁלשִׁים יוֹם, אֵין עוֹלִין לוֹ מִן הַמִּנְיָן וְאֵינוֹ מֵבִיא קָרְבַּן טֻמְאָה. יָצָא וְנִכְנַס, עוֹלִין לוֹ מִן הַמִּנְיָן וּמֵבִיא קָרְבַּן טֻמְאָה. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, לֹא בוֹ בַיּוֹם, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (במדבר ו) וְהַיָּמִים הָרִאשֹׁנִים יִפְּלוּ, עַד שֶׁיִּהְיוּ לוֹ יָמִים רִאשׁוֹנִים:

If one assumed Naziritism while he was in the cemetery, even if he were there thirty days, they do not accrue to the count (of Naziritism), and he does not bring an offering for uncleanliness. [For that offering is prescribed for a Nazirite who was clean and became unclean. In any event, if he were forewarned, he receives stripes.] If he went out and re-entered, they do accrue to the count, and he brings an offering of uncleanliness. [The gemara explains this Mishnah thus: If he went out of the cemetery, and were besprinkled (with the cleansing waters) the third and seventh days, and immersed, and were purified from his uncleanliness, and began to count the days of his Naziritism — even though he afterwards re-entered the cemetery, these days that he counted after he became clean do accrue to him, since cleanliness intervened between the first days that he assumed Naziritism in the cemetery and these latter days. And even though he re-entered the cemetery, the uncleanliness of the cemetery does not offset the number of days that he counted in cleanliness. For only the twelve varieties of uncleanliness stated in respect to Naziritism offset these days. As to "and he brings an offering of cleanliness," this is what is meant: If he became unclean again, with one of the uncleanlinesses which cause a Nazirite to shave, he brings an offering of uncleanliness and offsets (the count). R. Eliezer says; Not on the same day, it being written (Numbers 6:12): "And the first days shall fall off" — there must be "first days." [That is, if on the day that he immersed and cleansed himself he became unclean with one of the uncleanlinesses which cause the Nazirite to shave, he does not offset that day, it being written: "And the first days shall fall off" — Uncleanliness does not offset until two days of Naziritism have been counted. And the same is true for a Nazirite in general, who became unclean on the first day of his Naziritism — Uncleanliness does not offset that day, but he includes it in the count of the days of his Naziritism. The halachah is in accordance with R. Eliezer.]
