Introduction

Hebrew Text

[edit]
קידשתי את בתי קטנה,
קידשתיה וגירשתיה כשהיא קטנה,
והרי היא קטנה —
נאמן.
קידשתיה וגירשתיה כשהיא קטנה,
והרי היא גדולה —
אינו נאמן.
נשבית ופדיתיה
בין שהיא קטנה בין שהיא גדולה, —
אינו נאמן.
מי שאמר בשעת מיתתו,
יש לי בנים — נאמן;
יש לי אחים — אינו נאמן.
המקדש את בתו סתם —
אין הבוגרת בכלל.
