Unit 9 of 13
Torah Temimah: non-vital limb vow is void; “nefashot” restores vital limb = whole.
English: He pays the valuation of the whole, not of limbs. Might I exclude even a part on which life depends? Scripture says “nefashot.”
Whole vs limb derasha.
Vowing “erech of my hand” (non-vital) is void; vowing a vital organ obligates the full-person rate.
