Nazir

If he contracts ritual defilement during the period that he is leprous.  R. Johanan said: This renders void [the earlier period of naziriteship]; but Resh Lakish said: It is not void. 'R. Johanan said that it becomes void,' — since he is in the midst of his period of naziriteship,  'but Resh Lakish said that it is not void,' — because the period of leprosy and the naziriteship are distinct. And it is necessary [to have both these controversies on record]. For if only the first  were recorded, [we might say that] there R. Johanan was of the opinion that [the first period] becomes void because the same term, naziriteship, applies to both, whereas in the other he would agree with Resh Lakish that the nazirite period and the leprosy are distinct. Similarly had only the other [regarding leprosy] been recorded, [we might suppose that] only there did Resh Lakish hold [the two periods to be distinct], whereas in the first he would agree with R. Johanan. Thus the necessity [for recording both controversies] is demonstrated. If he becomes unclean on a day [during the period that] his hair is growing.  — Rab said: This does not render void [the earlier period]; this even according to R. Johanan who said [above] that the [earlier period] does become void, for this is only so [when the uncleanness is incurred] during the naziriteship itself, but not during the period his hair is growing which is merely the complement of the naziriteship.  Samuel, on the other hand, said: It does render void [the earlier period]; and this even according to Resh Lakish who said [above] that [the earlier period] does not become void, for whereas there, there are two distinct naziriteships, here  there is but one naziriteship. R. Hisda said: All would agree that should his hair be still unshorn  when the blood [of his sacrifice had been sprinkled],  he would have no remedy.  With whose opinion does this statement accord? It cannot be with that of R. Eliezer,  for seeing that in his opinion polling estops [him from drinking wine, the uncleanness]  is still prior to the 'fulfilment of his [consecration]'  and [the whole period] should become void!  Nor can it accord with the Rabbis, Seeing that they say that the polling does not estop [him from drinking wine]! — In point of fact, it does accord with the opinion of the Rabbis, the phrase, 'he would have no remedy', meaning, 'he would have no means of fulfilling the precept of polling [in purity]'. R. Jose son of R. Hanina said: A nazirite whose period is completed, is scourged for contracting ritual defilement,  but not for polling or for [drinking] wine. Why is he scourged for ritual defilement? [Assuredly] because Scripture says. All the days that he consecrateth himself unto the Lord [he shall not come near to a dead body],  thus including the days after fulfilment equally with the days before fulfilment! But in that case, for polling too he should be liable to scourging seeing that the All-Merciful Law Says. All the days of his naziriteship there shall cone no razor upon his head,  thereby including the days after fulfilment equally with the days before fulfilment. Again, All the days of his naziriteship shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine,  should also include the days after fulfilment equally with the days before fulfilment? —
