מִי שֶׁהָיוּ שְׁתֵּי כִתֵּי עֵדִים מְעִידוֹת אוֹתוֹ, אֵלּוּ מְעִידִים שֶׁנָּזַר שְׁתַּיִם, וְאֵלּוּ מְעִידִים שֶׁנָּזַר חָמֵשׁ, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, נֶחְלְקָה הָעֵדוּת וְאֵין כָּאן נְזִירוּת. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, יֵשׁ בִּכְלָל חָמֵשׁ שְׁתַּיִם, שֶׁיְּהֵא נָזִיר שְׁתָּיִם:

If two sets of witnesses testified about a man, one set saying that he had vowed two [Naziritisms] and the other set saying that he had vowed five — [At the same time that you say he vowed two, we say that he vowed five. And he says that he did not vow at all] — Beth Shammai say that the testimony is split. [Since they contradict each other, their words are voided and no testimony obtains.] And Beth Hillel say: Included in five are two, and he is to observe two Naziritisms.
