this

<<is with a healthy man,

<<and this

<<with one dangerously ill.

Our Mishnah

<<which teaches:

<<but

<<if he said

<<“give them”

<<they give them —

<<with one dangerously ill,

<<who can

<<retract

<<it is,

for we say:

<<what is there to say?

<<perhaps

<<he wrote it

<<originally

<<for this one

<<and reconsidered

<<and did not

<<give it

<<to him,

<<and then

<<wrote it

<<for a person

<<another

<<and gave it

<<to him,

<<and now

<<he is retracting

<<from it —

<<from that one

<<to whom he gave it

<<to him.

If

<<with the gift of

<<a healthy man

<<he gave it

<<to him —

<<there is no

<<loss,

<<for when

<<come out

<<two,

<<the later one

<<acquires,

<<for indeed

<<he retracted

<<from it

<<from the first.

If

<<with the gift of

<<one dangerously ill

<<too

<<he gave it

<<to him —

<<there is no

<<loss in it,

<<for the later one

<<acquires,

<<for he is retracting

<<from it

<<from the first.

When

<<it teaches

<<in the baraisa:

<<even though

<<both of them

<<admit

<<he may not

<<return it,

<<neither

<<to this one

<<nor

<<to that one” —

<<with a healthy man,

<<who is not

<<able to retract

<<it is,

for we say:

<<perhaps

<<he wrote it

<<for this one

<<originally

<<and reconsidered

<<and did not

<<give it

<<to him,

<<and then

<<wrote it

<<for a person

<<another

<<and gave it

<<to him,

<<and now

<<he is retracting

<<from it —

<<from that one

<<to whom he gave it

<<to him —

<<and he thinks:

<<to retract

<<I am not

<<able;

<<I have retracted

<<in myself.

<<Let me say

<<to them

<<that I

<<to this one

<<gave it,

<<and let them return

<<to him

<<the document,

<<so that

<<when

<<he produces

<<this

<<document,

<<the one who came first

<<acquired

<<in it

<<it is.

Rather,

<<we say

<<to him

<<ourselves:

<<this

<<document

<<we do not

<<give

<<it

<<to this one,

<<perhaps

<<writing

<<you wrote,

<<giving

<<you did not

<<give

<<to him,

<<and you gave it

<<to a person

<<another

<<and you are retracting

<<from it.

<<If

<<you did not

<<give it

<<to a person

<<another

<<and you want

<<to give it

<<to this one —

<<write

<<for him

<<now

<<a document

<<another

<<and give it

<<to him;

<<for if

<<you gave it

<<to a person

<<another —

<<there is

<<in it

<<no loss,

<<for the one who came first

<<acquires.

Objects to it

<<Rav Zevid:

<<but

<<both this

<<and that

<<as wills

<<it teaches!

<<Rather,

<<Rav Zevid said:

<<this

<<and that

<<are with one dangerously ill,

<<and it is not

<<difficult:

<<this

<<is about him,

<<and this

<<is about his son!

That where he said

<<“give them”

<<they give them —

<<with himself,

<<who can

<<retract

<<it is,

<<for we say:

<<even if

<<he gave it

<<to a person

<<another

<<there is no

<<loss in it,

<<for of the first

<<and the later,

<<the later

<<acquires,

<<for indeed

<<he retracted

<<from it

<<from the first.

When

<<it teaches

<<in the baraisa:

<<even though

<<both of them

<<admit

<<he may not

<<return it,

<<neither

<<to this one

<<nor

<<to that one” —

<<with his son.

for we say:

<<perhaps

<<wrote

<<his father

<<for this one,

<<and reconsidered

<<and did not

<<give it

<<to him,

<<and after

<<his father['s death]

<<wrote

<<he himself

<<for a person

<<another

<<and gave it

<<to him,

<<and now

<<he is retracting

<<from it,

<<from that one.

<<He thinks:

<<to retract

<<I am not

<<able;

<<I have retracted

<<in myself.

<<Let me say

<<to them

<<that father

<<gave it

<<to him —

<<to this one,

<<and let them give

<<to him

<<his document,

<<and I will go

<<and take it out

<<from him,

<<for he

<<acquires,

<<and we will divide

<<with him.

Therefore

<<we say

<<to him

<<ourselves:

<<this

<<document

<<we do not

<<give

<<it

<<to this one,

<<for perhaps

<<writing

<<wrote it

<<his father,

<<giving

<<he did not

<<give it

<<to him,

<<and you gave it —

<<you —

<<to a person

<<another

<<and you are retracting

<<from it.

But

<<if

<<the truth

<<you are saying,

<<that gave it

<<to him

<<your father —

<<go

<<you

<<now

<<write

<<for him

<<a document

<<another;

<<for if

<<also

<<he did not

<<give it

<<to him —

<<his father —

<<and you wrote it —

<<you —

<<to a person

<<another,

<<there is no

<<loss in it,

<<for of the first

<<and the later,

<<the first

<<acquires.

The Rabbis taught:

<<if he found

<<a receipt —

<<at a time

<<when the woman

<<admits

<<he must return it

<<to the husband;

<<if does not

<<the woman

<<admit

<<he may not

<<return it,

<<neither

<<to this one

<<nor

<<to that one.

At a time

<<when the woman

<<admits

<<at any rate

<<he must return it

<<to the husband.

<<But let us be concerned

<<perhaps

<<she wrote it

<<to give

<<in Nisan

<<and did not

<<give it

<<until

<<Tishrei,

<<and she went

<<and sold

<<her kesubah

<<for the benefit of

<<discretion

<<from Nisan

<<until

<<Tishrei.

And he produces

<<it —

<<the receipt —

<<in which is written

<<Nisan,

<<and comes

<<to seize from

<<purchasers

<<not

<<lawfully!
