Mesorat%20hashas for Shevuot 54:3

אי אמרת בשלמא בדבר הרשות כתיב ממעט דבר מצוה אלא אי אמרת בדבר מצוה כתיב ממאי קא ממעט:

MISHNAH. I SWEAR I SHALL NOT EAT THIS LOAF;' I SWEAR I SHALL NOT EAT IT;' I SWEAR I SHALL NOT EAT IT;' AND HE ATE IT, HE IS LIABLE ONLY ONCE. THIS IS THE OATH OF UTTERANCE, FOR WHICH ONE IS LIABLE, FOR ITS WILFUL TRANSGRESSION, STRIPES; AND FOR ITS UNWITTING TRANSGRESSION, A SLIDING SCALE SACRIFICE. FOR A VAIN OATH ONE IS LIABLE FOR WILFUL TRANSGRESSION, STRIPES; AND FOR UNWITTING TRANSGRESSION ONE IS EXEMPT.
