vow
If I initially intended to vow to forbid myself from eating oranges, and then changed my mind before saying “oranges” for “apples,” does the vow apply, or is it because when I said: “I vow not to eat,” I meant “oranges,” that those words do not join the rest of the sentence, which is “apples”?

Simply put, it depends on the Rishonim dispute. If the vow is made in thought and the speech is only a condition, the second vow applies (because the first intention was canceled during speech). If it is speech that applies the vow and the thought is only a condition, then it seems to depend on the parallel issue of blessings regarding a blessing that began with one thought and ended with another thought.

On second thought, it seems to me that he also vowed to the other side, without compromising.
