Нет никакой разницы между тем, чтобы завладеть выгодой от своего соседа и тем, чтобы завладеть едой от него, но «ступать ногой» [пройти через его землю] или [одолжить у него] сосуды, не используемые для еды [приготовления, которым разрешено тот, кто завораживает себя от еды и запрещает тому, кто завлекает себя от пользы.] Если кто-то завораживает себя едой от своего друга, он не должен давать ему одеялку, сито, мельницу или печь, [они используются при обработке пищи, и, само собой разумеется, горшок или вертел, который содержит саму еду. «Отказ от пищи» нашей Мишны - это поговорка: «наслаждайся пищей моей, конам», но он может одолжить ему одежду, кольцо, плащ, серьги и все, что не используется для приготовление пищи. В местах, где такие вещи сдаются в аренду, это запрещено. [Поскольку принято сдавать их в аренду, и он (кредитор) отказывается от аренды, на эти деньги он (заемщик) может покупать еду— но он лишил его (любой) выгоды, которая приводит к (приобретению) пищи.]

English Explanation of Mishnah Nedarim
Introduction
This mishnah and the subsequent mishnayoth discuss what is prohibited to a person who is under a vow not to benefit from his fellow. Note that these types of vows can be initiated by either party: Reuven may swear that Shimon may not benefit from Reuven’s property and Shimon may swear that he may not benefit from Reuven’s property.

Bartenura on Mishnah Nedarim
נפה וכברה רחים ותנור (winnow, basket used as a sieve, millstone, an oven) – that they prepare in them food necessary for the [Sabbath] day. And all the more so, a pot or a spit where the food stands within it. One who takes a vow against food that is taught in our Mishnah, is he who says to him: “KONAM: benefitting from your food is upon me.”

English Explanation of Mishnah Nedarim
The only difference between one who is under a vow not to benefit at all from his neighbor, and one who is under a vow prohibiting food benefit, is in respect of walking [on his property] and [the use of] utensils not employed in the preparation of food. There are two things which are permitted to one who is under a vow not to derive food benefit from his neighbor that are not permitted to one who may not benefit from his neighbor at all: walking on his property and the use of things not involved in the making of food. The next section of the mishnah will qualify this statement.

Bartenura on Mishnah Nedarim
מקום שמשכירין כיוצא בהם (a place where these things are rented out) – for since it is the practice to rent out such things and he foregoes the rental payment, with those monies he can purchase food necessary for the [Sabbath] day and he made him take a vow from deriving benefit is brought through the food.

English Explanation of Mishnah Nedarim
If a man is under a vow not to derive food benefit from his neighbor, he may not lend him a sifter, sieve, mill-stone or oven, but he may lend him a cloak, ring, garment, and earrings, and whatever is not employed in the preparation of food. In a place where things such as these are rented out, it is forbidden. A man who cannot derive food benefit from his neighbor may not borrow vessels which are involved in the making of food, but he may borrow things not involved in the making of food. However, if in such a place, the custom is to rent these things (a cloak etc.) then borrowing them is prohibited. For if the one who cannot receive benefit from his friend borrows these things without paying, he saves the money he would have otherwise had to spend. With that money he may now go and buy food. Indirectly, therefore, he has derived food benefit. Therefore, in such a place borrowing any item would be prohibited.
