Sifrei Devarim · Chapter 245

‹›
  1. 1

    (דברים כב כט) וְנָתַן הָאִישׁ – וְלֹא הַקָּטָן.

    (Devarim 22:29) "Then the man who lies with her": "the man," and not the minor.

  2. 2

    הַשֹּׁכֵב עִמָּהּ, כָּל שְׁכִיבָה. לַאֲבִי הַנַּעֲרָה, שֶׁיְּהוּ שֶׁלּוֹ.

    "who lies": any lying, (natural or unnatural).

  3. 3

    לַאֲבִי הַנַּעֲרָה, וְלֹא לַאֲבִי הַבּוֹגֶרֶת.

    "to the father of the na'arah" (and not to the father of the bogereth).

  4. 4

    חֲמִשִּׁים כָּסֶף, כֶּסֶף צוֹרִי.

    "fifty silver": Tyrian silver.

  5. 5

    וְלוֹ תִהְיֶה לְאִשָּׁה, מְלַמֵּד שֶׁשּׁוֹתֶה בַּעֲצִיצוֹ, וַאֲפִלּוּ הִיא חִגֶּרֶת, וַאֲפִלּוּ הִיא סוּמָה, וַאֲפִלּוּ הִיא מֻכַּת שְׁחִין. נִמְצָא בָהּ דְּבַר זִמָּה, אוֹ שֶׁאֵינָהּ רְאוּיָה לָבוֹא בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, יָכוֹל יְהֵא רַשַּׁי לְקַיְּמָהּ? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: וְלוֹ תִהְיֶה לְאִשָּׁה, בְּאִשָּׁה הָרְאוּיָה לוֹ.

    "and to him shall she be as a wife": We are hereby taught that he must "quaff his bitter cup" — even if she be lame or blind or covered with boils. If there were in her a thing of zimah (obscenity) or if she were not fit to marry into Israel, I might think that he were permitted to keep her as a wife; it is, therefore, written "and to him shall she be as a wife" — (connoting) a woman who is (halachically) fit for him (as a wife).

  6. 6

    תַּחַת אֲשֶׁר עִנָּהּ, לְרַבּוֹת אֶת הַיְּתוֹמָה. מִכָּן אָמְרוּ: יְתוֹמָה שֶׁנִּתְאַרְמְלָה אוֹ שֶׁנִּתְגָּרְשָׁה, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: הָאוֹנֵס חַיָּב וְהַמְפַתֶּה פָּטוּר.

    "because he afflicted her": to include an orphaned girl (as receiving the fine). From here they ruled: An orphaned girl who was widowed or divorced, the ravisher is liable (for the penalty); the enticer is exempt.

  7. 7

    לֹא יוּכַל שַׁלְּחָהּ כָּל יָמָיו, מְשַׁלְּחָהּ הוּא לְיָבָם.

    "he shall not be able to send her away all of his days": but she may be released from the levirate bond.
