והא איפלגו ביה חדא זימנא דתנן המדיר את אשתו מתשמיש המטה ב"ש אומרים שתי שבתות וב"ה אומרים שבת אחת ואמר רב מחלוקת במפרש אבל בסתם יוציא לאלתר ויתן כתובה ושמואל אמר אפי' בסתם נמי לא יוציא שמא ימצא פתח לנדרו

But have they not disagreed about this before. As it is taught, A man who forbade himself by vow from having intercourse with his wife: Beth Shammai says: two weeks; Beth Hillel says: one week. And Rav said: They differ only in the case of one who specified [the period of abstention] but where he did not specify the period it is the opinion of both that he must divorce her immediately and give her the ketubah. Shmuel said: Even where the period had not been specified the husband may delay [his divorce], since it might be possible for him to discover some reason to be released from the vow.
