Commentary for Nedarim 55:14

<big><strong>מתני׳</strong></big> הרי נטיעות האלו קרבן אם אינן נקצצות טלית זו קרבן אם אינה נשרפת יש להן פדיון הרי נטיעות האלו קרבן עד שיקצצו טלית זו קרבן עד שתשרף

R. Ashi answered, This is what is taught: Beth Shammai say, There is no absolution for an oath; and Beth Hillel say, There is absolution for an oath.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' According to this, the Baraitha does not treat of vows under pressure at all. The Heb. lo yiftah (rendered 'he may not volunteer') will mean: He (the rabbi) must not give an opening for regret, i.e., must not grant absolution. ');"><sup>10</sup></span> <b><i>MISHNAH</i></b>. [IF ONE SAYS,] 'LET THESE SAPLINGS BE KORBAN [I.E., CONSECRATED] IF THEY ARE NOT CUT DOWN'; OR, LET THIS GARMENT BE KORBAN IF IT IS NOT BURNT: THEY CAN BE REDEEMED.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' They are duly consecrated, and must be redeemed before they are permitted for secular use. ');"><sup>11</sup></span> [IF HE SAYS,] 'LET THESE SAPLINGS BE KORBAN UNTIL THEY ARE CUT DOWN; OR, LET THIS GARMENT BE KORBAN UNTIL IT IS BURNT',

Ran on Nedarim

1. For a tax collector that is collecting without limit. This is not law but thievery, and a tax collector's theft is not a law.

Ran on Nedarim

2. The tax collector standing over him. "...The Tosafot wrote that the concept of 'dina de-malchuta dina' applies exclusively to non-Jewish Kings; since the land is his and he can say that if one doesn't obey his command, he will expel them from the land; however, Jewish kings may not because all Jews are partners in the Land of Israel" [translation from http://adderabbi.blogspot.com/2005/02/ran-on-nedarim-28a-and-israeli.html]
