Kiddushin

When is this? If he has paid him for all; but if he has not paid the money for all, he gains a title only to the extent of his money. This supports Samuel. For Samuel said: If A sells B ten fields [situate] in ten countries, as soon as B takes possession of one, he then acquires all. Said R. Aha, son of R. Ika: The proof is: if he delivered him ten cows [tied] by one cord,1 and said to him, ‘Acquire them’: would he not acquire then, [all]?2 — How compare? he objected. There the tie is in his hand,3 whereas here the tie is not in his hand. Others state, R. Aha, son of R. Ika, said: The proof that he does not acquire [them all]4 is: if he delivered him ten cows [tied] by one cord and said to him, ‘Acquire this one: would he acquire them all?5 — How compare: there they are separate entities; but here, The earth is one block.6 AND THEY OBLIGATE THE PROPERTY etc. ‘Ulla said: How do we derive [the law of] the superimposed oath7 from the Torah? — Because it is said: And the woman shall say: Amen, Amen.8 And we learnt: To what does she say: Amen? Amen to the curse,9 Amen to the oath,10 Amen that [she was] not [unfaithful] by this man,11 Amen that [she was] not [unfaithful] by any other man.12 Amen that I did not go aside as an arusah, a nesu'ah, when waiting for the yabam,13 or as a kenusah.14 Now, how is this arusah meant? Shall we say that he [the arus] warned her15 when an arusah and makes her drink [the bitter waters]16 likewise as an arusah, — but we learnt: An arusah and one who waits for the yabam neither drink nor receive their kethubah:17 why? Because the Divine Law said, [and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanliness,] being under thy husband,18 which [condition] is absent!19 But if it means that he warned her as an arusah, she privily closeted herself [with the man against whom she was warned] likewise when an arusah, and he makes her drink when a nesu'ah20 — then can the water test her? Surely Scripture said: And the man shall be free from iniquity,21 [which means,] when the husband himself is free from sin, water tests his wife; if the husband himself is not free from sin, water cannot test his wife!22 Hence [it is possible only] by means of superimposition.23 Now, we have found this [a superimposed oath] in the case of sotah,24 which belongs to ecclesiastical law.25 How do we know it of civil law? — The School of R. Ishmael taught: A minori: if we superimpose [an oath] in the case of a sotah, cattle are acquired by Mesirah (Tosaf. Ri)]. yabam. forbade her to closet herself privily with the object of his suspicions. water ordeal. — If a woman disregards her husband's warning he must not live with her; hence he himself sinned in consummating the marriage. thought that the husband bears blame? place only because she is charged with adultery when a nesu'ah, and upon this another oath is superimposed, viz., that she was not unfaithful as an arusah too. questions only.
