(1) All colloquial terms for vows are the same as vows; those for devotions are the same as devotions; those for oaths are the same as oaths; those for Nazarite [vows] are the same as Nazarite [vows]. One who says to one's peer "I am forbidden by vow from you"; "I am separated from you"; "I am distanced from you"; "I may not eat yours"; "I may not taste yours" - [the object of his vow] is forbidden. "I am excommunicated from you" - Rabbi Akiva was inclined to be stringent. [Using the phrase] "Like the vows of the wicked" - is a vow when concerning Nazarite, and offering, and oath. [Using the phrase] "Like the vows of the pious" - it is as if he had said nothing. "Like their donation" - is a vow when concerning Nazarite or an offering.
(2) One who says to one's peer "Konam" or "Konach" or "Konas" - these are colloquial terms for an offering ("Korban"). "Cherek", "Cherekh", "Cheref" - these are colloquial terms for devotions ("Cherem"). "Nazik", "Naziyach", "Paziyach" - these are colloquial terms for a Nazarite [vow] ("Nazir"). "Shevutah", "Shekukah", "Nadar Bemota" - these are colloquial terms for oath ("Shevu'ah").
(3) If one says to his fellow: "Not chullin (non-sanctified food) shall I eat of yours", [or] "not kosher" or "not permitted", [or] "pure" or "impure", [or] "notar" or "piggul" (disqualified sacrifices) - [the food is] forbidden. [If one says to one's fellow:] "Like a lamb", [or] "like enclosures", [or] "like wood", [or] "like fires", [or] "like the altar", [or] "like the sanctuary", [or] "like Jerusalem", [or] if one made a vow on any of the instruments of the altar, even though there was no mention of sacrifice - behold, [it is as if] he has vowed [and forbidden the object] like a Korban. Rabbi Yehuda says: If he [only] said "Jerusalem", it is as if he had said nothing.
(4) The person who states "korban," "olah," "minchah," "chattat," "todah," or "shelamim [be that] which I don't eat of your food" - [the food] is forbidden. Rabbi Yehudah permits [the food]. If the person states "the korban," "like the korban," [or] "korban is that which I eat of yours" - [the food is] forbidden. [If he says] "for the korban shall I not eat of your [food]," Rabbi Meir forbids him [from eating the food]. If someone says to his friend "konam is my mouth that speaks with you," "[konam is] my hand that does work with you," or "[konam is] my foot that walks with you," - [the speaker is] forbidden [from speaking, doing work, or walking with the object of the vow].
