What is

<<“she collects

<<everything”?

<<A maneh

<<and two hundred

<<it is

<<that she has.

But rather,

<<from what taught

<<Rav Chiya bar Ami:

<<his wife

<<who is betrothed —

<<he does not

<<mourn

<<and does not

<<become impure

<<for her,

<<and likewise

<<she

<<does not

<<mourn

<<and does not

<<become impure

<<for him.

<<if she died

<<he does not

<<inherit her;

<<if died

<<he —

<<she collects

<<her kesubah.

Perhaps

<<where he wrote

<<for her;

<<And if

<<you say

<<if he wrote

<<for her,

<<what

<<is there to say? —

<<“if she died

<<he does not

<<inherit her”

<<it was needed.

Rather,

<<Abaye

<<from the body

<<of the Mishnah

<<retracted

<<it:

<<for if

<<it enters your mind

<<in a place

<<where they do not

<<write

<<a kesubah

<<we are dealing,

<<where the get

<<is itself

<<her kesubah —

<<is it so that

<<a get —

<<a maneh

<<two hundred

<<is written

<<in it?

And if

<<you say:

<<since

<<instituted

<<the Rabbis

<<to collect

<<(for her)

<<[with it]

<<like one

<<in which it is written

<<in it

<<it is deemed —

<<let him claim

<<and say

<<“I repaid”!

And if

<<you say

<<that we say

<<to him:

<<if

<<you repaid it

<<you should have

<<torn it up —

<<he says

<<to us:

<<she did not

<<let me;

<<she said:

<<I want

<<to marry

<<with it.

And if

<<you say

<<we say

<<to him:

<<you should have

<<torn it up

<<and written

<<on it:

<<“this get

<<of ours

<<that we tore —

<<not

<<because

<<it is a get

<<invalid

<<it is,

<<but

<<so that

<<she not

<<collect

<<with it

<<a time

<<another” —

<<is it so that

<<everyone

<<who collects,

<<in court

<<collects?

MISHNAH:

<<If he found

<<bills of divorce of

<<women,

<<or writs of release of

<<slaves,

<<wills,

<<deeds of gift

<<or receipts —

<<he

<<may not

<<return them,

<<for I

<<say:

<<written

<<they were,

<<and he reconsidered

<<about them

<<not

<<to give them.

GEMARA:

<<the reason is

<<that he reconsidered

<<not

<<to give them;

<<but

<<if he said:

<<“give them” —

<<they give them,

<<and even

<<after a time

<<long.

And they contrast it:

<<one who brings

<<a get

<<and it was lost

<<from him —

<<if he found it

<<immediately

<<it is valid;

<<if

<<not

<<it is invalid.

Rabbah said:

<<it is not

<<difficult:

<<here

<<in a place

<<where caravans

<<are common,

<<here

<<in a place

<<where are not

<<the caravans

<<common.

And even

<<in a place

<<where caravans

<<are common —

<<and that is

<<where there were established

<<two

<<Yosef

<<son of

<<Shimon

<<in a city

<<one.

For if

<<you do not

<<say

<<so,

<<difficult is

<<Rabbah's words

<<against Rabbah's.

<<For there was that

<<get

<<that was found

<<in the court

<<of Rav Huna,

<<in which was

<<written

<<in it

<<“in Shvirei,

<<the town

<<that is on

<<the Rachis

<<river”.

<<Rav Huna said:
