Mesorat%20hashas for Nedarim 33:5

ולרב הונא אדתנא אין שבועה בתוך שבועה ליתני יש נדר בתוך נדר ואין נדר בתוך נדר הריני נזיר היום הריני נזיר למחר יש נדר בתוך נדר הריני נזיר היום הריני נזיר היום

GEMARA. R. Huna said: This holds good only if one says, 'Behold, I will be a <i>nazir</i> to-day [if I eat this loaf]; I will be a <i>nazir</i> to-morrow [if I eat this loaf]', since an extra day is added, the [second] neziruth<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Abstract noun from nazir, 'naziriteship'. ');">⁷</span> is binding in addition to the first.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And the full statutory period of thirty days must be observed for the second neziruth. ');">⁸</span> But if he says, 'Behold, I will be a <i>nazir</i> to-day, I will be a <i>nazir</i> to-day,' the second neziruth is not valid in addition to the first. But Samuel said: Even if one declares, 'Behold, I will be a <i>nazir</i> to-day, I will be a <i>nazir</i> to-day,' the second neziruth is binding. Now, according to R. Huna, [the Mishnah,] instead of teaching BUT NOT AN OATH WITHIN AN OATH, should teach, Sometimes A VOW WITHIN A VOW IS VALID, and sometimes not. [If one says,] 'Behold, I will be a <i>nazir</i> to-day; behold, I will be a <i>nazir</i> to-morrow,' the vow within the vow is binding. But if he says, 'Behold, I will be a <i>nazir</i> to-day, I will be a <i>nazir</i> to-day,'
