(Jeśli powiedział :) „Będę nazirejczykiem jak włosy na mojej głowie”, „jak pył ziemi”, „jak piasek morski”, staje się wiecznym nazyrejczykiem (Nazir olam) i goli się raz co trzydzieści dni. [To nie „Nazir olam”, dosłownie, ponieważ Nazir olam goli się raz na dwanaście miesięcy, podczas gdy ten goli się raz na trzydzieści dni. Ponieważ połączył swój naziretyzm z różnymi rzeczami, to tak, jakby zrównał liczbę swoich naziretyzmów z liczbą włosów na głowie lub liczbą pyłu (cząstek) na ziemi, w przeciwieństwie do Nazirolama, który tego nie robi. dzieli jego naziretyzm, ale czyni wszystko jednym naziretyzmem.] Rebbi mówi: Ten nie goli się raz na trzydzieści dni. [Bo skoro mówi: „Będę nazirejczykiem”, to wszystko jest jednym naziretyzmem, a on goli się tylko raz na dwanaście miesięcy, tak jak nazir olam.] A kto goli się raz na trzydzieści dni? Ten, który mówi: „Podejmuję naziretyzm według włosów na mojej głowie”, „według prochu ziemi”, „według piasku morskiego”. [Na przykład w tym przypadku wskazuje, że wziął na siebie wyraźne naziretyzm, takie jak liczba włosów na jego głowie. Halacha nie jest zgodna z Rebbi.]
Bartenura on Mishnah Nazir
הריני נזיר כשער ראשי – or like the dust of the earth. וכעפר הארץ וכו' ה"ז נזיר עולם – but not a real life-long Nazirite, for if he was a life-long Nazirite, he would shave once in twelve months but this one shaves once in thirty days for since his Naziriteship depends upon empty words as if he made the vow in the number of his Naziriteships like the hairs in his head or like the dust of the earth, which is not the case for a life-long Nazirite where he did not divide his Naziriteships but rather did them all in one [period] of Naziriteship.

English Explanation of Mishnah Nazir
Introduction
This mishnah discusses a person who seemingly accepts upon himself an extremely large number of naziriteships. The question is, is he considered a life-nazirite, or one who is observing an endless series of naziriteships, who must shave his head between each period.

Bartenura on Mishnah Nazir
רבי אומר אין זה מגלח לשלשים יום – for since he said: “I will be a Nazirite” – all of it is one [period] of Naziriteship and he does not shave other than every twelve months like a life-long Nazirite, and which one shaves every thirty days? The one who says, “Naziriteship will be upon me like the hairs of y head, for then it proves that his Naziriteships are interrupted, he accepted upon himself like the number of hairs on his head, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi [Judah the Prince].

English Explanation of Mishnah Nazir
[If one says,] “Behold, I am a nazirite as the hairs of my head”, or “As the dust of the earth”, or “As the sands of the sea,” he becomes a life-nazirite, and shaves his head every thirty days. Rabbi says: this one does not shave his head every thirty days. According to the first opinion in this mishnah, this person has made an infinite number of nazirite vows, each one being without specified duration, and hence thirty days. Therefore, he observes one naziriteship, shaves his head, offers sacrifices, and then immediately begins to observe another naziriteship. According to Rabbi, this person’s intention was merely to be a life-nazirite. Therefore, he does not shave his head once every thirty days.

English Explanation of Mishnah Nazir
The one who shave his head every thirty days is the one who says, “Behold, upon me are naziriteships as the hair on my head”, or “As the dust of the earth”, or “As the sands of the sea.” This is a continuation of Rabbi’s words from the previous section. In order for him to be in the category of one who shaves his head every thirty days, he must specify that he is vowing many naziriteships. In this case he accepts upon himself distinct periods of naziriteship, shaving after each one is completed.
