Nedarim 26

NEDARIM 26 - dedicated anonymously in honor of Kollel Iyun Hadaf, and in honor of those who study the Dafyomi around the world.

1) [line 6, 8] TEFOS LASHON RISHON / BI'GEMAR DEVARAV ADAM NITPAS
(a) Tefos Lashon Rishon means, "The first statement is the only one that we regard seriously." That is, if a person says two consecutive statements that have contradictory Halachic ramifications, yet he expresses no desire to rescind the first of the two, we assume that he decided to add the second statement only *after* having pronounced the first. Therefore, the first statement remains valid, and the second one is ignored.
(b) There is a Machlokes Rishonim with regard to the dissenting opinion. The RAN writes that this opinion holds that the second statement categorically revokes the first statement. Therefore, the second statement is valid and the first one is ignored. The ROSH and RASHI (Pesachim 53b DH Rebbi Shimon) write that the dissenting opinion holds that "*Af* bi'Gmar Dvarav Adam Nitfas," i.e. the person originally *intended* to make *both* statements, thinking that they weren't Halachically contradictory. According to this opinion, both statements are valid and we find some compromise between the two.
