הָאוֹמֵר, עֶרְכּוֹ שֶׁל פְּלוֹנִי עָלָי, מֵת הַנּוֹדֵר וְהַנִּדָּר, יִתְּנוּ הַיּוֹרְשִׁין. דָּמָיו שֶׁל פְּלוֹנִי עָלָי, מֵת הַנּוֹדֵר, יִתְּנוּ הַיּוֹרְשִׁין. מֵת הַנִּדָּר, לֹא יִתְּנוּ הַיּוֹרְשִׁין, שֶׁאֵין דָּמִים לַמֵּתִים:

If he said, “the value of so-and-so is upon me,” if both the maker of the vow and the subject of the vow died, then the heirs must give it. [If he said,] “the worth of so-and-so is upon me,” and the maker of the vow died, the heirs must give it. But if the subject of the vow died, the heirs need not give anything because dead persons have no worth.
