אלא כי קתני (מידי) דחייל אמידי דאית בה מששא שבועה דחיילא אמידי דלית ביה מששא כגון שאישן ושלא אישן לא קתני:

GEMARA. Our Rabbis taught: There is a greater restriction in vows than in oaths [in one respect]; and there is a greater restriction in oaths than in vows [in another respect] - The greater restriction in vows is that vows take effect on a precept as on an optional matter, which is not the case in oaths. The greater restriction in oaths is that oaths take effect on a thing which has no substance as on a thing which has substance, which is not the case in vows. <br>
