Introduction

Hebrew Text

[edit]
על מנת שאני כוהן, ונמצא לוי;
לוי, ונמצא כוהן;
נתין, ונמצא ממזר;
ממזר, ונמצא נתין;
בן עיר, ונמצא בן כרך;
בן כרך, ונמצא בן עיר;
על מנת שביתי קרוב למרחץ, ונמצא רחוק;
רחוק, ונמצא קרוב;
על מנת שיש לי בת או שפחה גדלת, ואין לו;
על מנת שאין לי, ויש לו;
על מנת שיש לי בנים, ואין לו;
על מנת שאין לי, ויש לו —
כולם, אף על פי שאמרה בליבי היה להתקדש לו אף על פי כן,
אינה מקודשת.
וכן היא שהטעתו.
