Se’if 1א׳

קוּנָם פֵּרוֹת הָאֵלּוּ עָלַי, אָסוּר בְּחִלּוּפֵיהֶם וּבְגִדּוּלֵיהֶם וְאֵין צָרִיךְ לוֹמַר בַּמַּשְׁקִין הַיּוֹצְאִין מֵהֶם, וְכֵן אָסוּר בְּגִדּוּלֵי גִּדּוּלֵיהֶן, אֲבָל חִלּוּפֵי חִלּוּפֵיהֶן מֻתָּרִים, וְאִם הוּא דָּבָר שֶׁזַּרְעוֹ כָּלֶה גִּדּוּלֵי גִּדּוּלָיו מֻתָּרִים; וְכֵן הַדִּין אִם לֹא אָמַר: הָאֵלּוּ, אֶלָּא הָיוּ לְפָנָיו וְאָמַר: קוּנָם הֵם עָלַי. הַגָּה: וְכֶן אִם אָמַר פֵּרוֹת פְּלוֹנִי אוֹ מָקוֹם פְּלוֹנִי הֵם קוּנָם עָלַי, הֲוָה כְּאִלּוּ אָמַר: פֵּרוֹת אֵלּוּ (בֵּית יוֹסֵף בְּשֵׁם הר"ן).

The distinction between one who says "these fruits" and one who does not say "these," and the law of one who vows regarding cooked food (and how we follow the language of the Torah in vows). Konam these fruits are forbidden to me: he is forbidden in their exchanges and in their growths, and needless to say in the liquids that come out of them; he is also forbidden in the growths of the growths, but the exchanges of the exchanges are permitted. And if it is something whose seed is consumed [does not regenerate], the growths of the growths are permitted. The same law applies if he did not say "these" but the fruits were before him and he said "they are konam to me."And likewise, if he said "the fruits of so-and-so" or "of such-and-such a place are konam to me," it is as though he said "these fruits." (Beit Yosef in the name of the Ran.)

Se’if 2ב׳

אָמַר: קוּנָם מַה שֶּׁאֲנִי אוֹכֵל אוֹ טוֹעֵם מֵהֶם, אִם הוּא דָּבָר שֶׁזַּרְעוֹ כָּלֵה כְּגוֹן חִטִּים וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָהֶם, מֻתָּר בְּחִלּוּפֵיהֶם וּבְגִדּוּלֵיהֶם; וְאִם הוּא דָּבָר שֶׁאֵין זַרְעוֹ כָּלֵה כְּשֶׁזּוֹרְעִים אוֹתוֹ, כְּגוֹן שׁוּם וּבְצָלִים, אֲפִלּוּ גִּדּוּלֵי גִּדּוּלִין אֲסוּרִים וְכֵן מַשְׁקִים הַיּוֹצְאִים מֵהֶם אֲסוּרִים. וְכֵן אִם אָמַר: קוּנָם פֵּרוֹת הָאֵלּוּ עַל פְּלוֹנִי, אָסוּר בְּחִלּוּפֵיהֶם וּבְגִדּוּלֵיהֶם.

If he said "Konam -- what I eat or taste of them": if it is something whose seed is consumed, such as wheat and the like, he is permitted in its exchanges and growths; but if it is something whose seed is not consumed when planted, such as garlic and onions, even the growths of the growths are forbidden, and likewise the liquids that come out of them are forbidden. Similarly, if he said "Konam -- these fruits are upon so-and-so," he is forbidden in their exchanges and growths.

Se’if 3ג׳

אָמַר לְאִשְׁתּוֹ: קוּנָם מַעֲשֵׂה יָדַיִךְ עָלַי, אָסוּר בְּחִלּוּפֵיהֶם וּבְגִדּוּלֵיהֶן. אָמַר: קוּנָם שֶׁאֲנִי אוֹכֵל אוֹ שֶׁאֲנִי טוֹעֵם מִמַּעֲשֵׂה יָדַיִךְ, מֻתָּר בְּחִלּוּפֵיהֶן וּבְגִדּוּלֵיהֶן בְּדָבָר שֶׁזַּרְעוֹ כָּלֵה; אֲבָל בְּדָבָר שֶׁאֵין זַרְעוֹ כָּלֵה, אֲפִלּוּ גִּדּוּלֵי גִּדּוּלִין אֲסוּרִין.

If he said to his wife, "Konam -- the work of your hands is forbidden to me," he is forbidden in its exchanges and growths. If he said "Konam -- what I eat or taste of the work of your hands," he is permitted in its exchanges and growths for something whose seed is consumed, but for something whose seed is not consumed, even the growths of the growths are forbidden.
