**מַתְנִי׳** נָפַל הַבַּיִת עָלָיו וְעַל אִשְׁתּוֹ, יוֹרְשֵׁי הַבַּעַל אוֹמְרִים: אִשָּׁה מֵתָה רִאשׁוֹן, וְאַחַר כָּךְ מֵת הַבַּעַל; יוֹרְשֵׁי אִשָּׁה אוֹמְרִים: בַּעַל מֵת רִאשׁוֹן, וְאַחַר כָּךְ מֵתָה אִשָּׁה –

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** If **the house collapsed upon** a husband **and upon his wife,** and it is unknown who died first, if the wife did not have any children from her husband, then the following claims arise: **The husband’s heirs say:** The **wife died first** and was inherited by her husband, **and afterward the husband died,** and therefore the husband’s heirs inherit both his and her property. The **wife’s heirs say:** The **husband died first and afterward** the **wife died,** and her heirs inherit the property that she brought with her to the marriage and the payment of her marriage contract.

בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים: יַחְלוֹקוּ. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים: נְכָסִים – בְּחֶזְקָתָן, כְּתוּבָּה – בְּחֶזְקַת יוֹרְשֵׁי הַבַּעַל, נְכָסִים הַנִּכְנָסִין וְהַיּוֹצְאִין עִמָּהּ – בְּחֶזְקַת יוֹרְשֵׁי הָאָב.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Beit Shammai say: They divide** the property under dispute between them. **And Beit Hillel say:** The guaranteed **property** that the wife brought with her to the marriage retains **its** previous ownership **status.** The sum of the **marriage contract** remains **in the possession of the husband’s heirs,** since the marriage contract is collected from the husband’s property. **Property that is brought into and taken out** of the marriage **with her,** i.e., usufruct property that remains in the wife’s possession during her marriage, remains **in the possession of the heirs of the** woman’s **father.**
