Mesorat%20hashas for Shevuot 54:4

א"ר יהודה בן בתירא מה אם הרשות כו': ורבנן שפיר קאמרי ליה לר' יהודה בן בתירא

GEMARA. Why does he state: I SWEAR I SHALL NOT EAT [THIS LOAF]; I SWEAR I SHALL NOT EAT IT? - This he teaches us: The reason is because he said, '[I swear] I shall not eat;' then he said, '[I swear] I shall not eat it,' therefore he is liable only once; but if he said, '[I swear] I shall not eat it;' and then he said, '[I swear] I shall not eat,' he is liable twice; as is Raba's view, for Raba said: [If he said,] I SWEAR I shall not eat this loaf,' as soon as he ate a ka-zayith of it, he is liable; [but if he said, T swear] I shall not eat it,' he is not liable until he eats it all. <br>
