[Ketubot 80b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/80b:1)

מִשּׁוּם רְוַוח בֵּיתָא, אֲבָל לְזַבּוֹנֵי — לָא? יְהוּדָה מָר בַּר מָרִימָר מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דְּרָבָא אָמַר: מַה שֶּׁעָשָׂה, עָשׂוּי. רַב פָּפָּא אָמַר מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דְּרָבָא: לֹא עָשָׂה וְלֹא כְלוּם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
they did so **for** the **gain of the house,** as more food is available when he brings produce home, **but** in order for him **to sell** it they did **not** institute their decree? Two opinions were stated with regard to this issue: **Yehuda Mar bar Mareimar said in the name of Rava: What he did is done,** i.e., takes effect. **Rav Pappa said in the name of Rava: He did not do anything.**


###### Ketubot 80b:2
[Ketubot 80b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/80b:2)

אָמַר רַב פָּפָּא: הָא דִּיהוּדָה מָר בַּר מָרִימָר לָאו בְּפֵירוּשׁ אִתְּמַר, אֶלָּא מִכְּלָלָא אִתְּמַר. דְּהָהִיא אִיתְּתָא דְּעַיִּילָה לֵיהּ לְגַבְרַאּ תַּרְתֵּי אַמְהָתָא, אֲזַל גַּבְרָא נְסֵיב אִיתְּתָא אַחֲרִיתִי, עַיֵּיל לַהּ חֲדָא מִנַּיְיהוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Pappa said: This** statement **of Yehuda Mar bar Mareimar was not stated explicitly** in Rava’s name. **Rather,** it **was stated from an inference** based on an incident that occurred in **which a certain woman brought in for** her **husband two maidservants** as part of her dowry. The **man went** and **married another woman** in addition to the first. **He** subsequently **brought in to** the second wife **one of** the maidservants to attend to her needs.


###### Ketubot 80b:3
[Ketubot 80b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/80b:3)

אֲתַאי לְקַמֵּיהּ דְּרָבָא, צְוַוחָה, לָא אַשְׁגַּח בַּהּ. מַאן דַּחֲזָא סָבַר מִשּׁוּם דְּסָבַר מַה שֶּׁעָשָׂה עָשׂוּי. וְלָא הִיא, מִשּׁוּם רְוַוח בֵּיתָא — וְהָא קָא רָוַוח.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The first wife **came before Rava** and **cried** about the injustice done to her, but **Rava took no notice of her,** claiming she had no right to complain. **He who observed** this incident **thought** that Rava ruled this way **because he holds** that **what he did is done,** i.e., takes effect, and a husband may sell his wife’s usufruct property and use its produce as he sees fit. **But that is not so,** as the Sages instituted the ordinance that a husband owns the rights to the produce of his wife’s property **for the gain of the house, and** here **the house does gain** from his action, as the maidservant also performs work for the house.


###### Ketubot 80b:4
[Ketubot 80b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/80b:4)

וְהִלְכְתָא: בַּעַל שֶׁמָּכַר קַרְקַע לְפֵירוֹת — לֹא עָשָׂה וְלֹא כְּלוּם. מַאי טַעְמָא? אַבָּיֵי אָמַר: חָיְישִׁינַן שֶׁמָּא תַּכְסִיף. רָבָא אָמַר: מִשּׁוּם רְוַוח בֵּיתָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara concludes: **And the *halakha*** is that **a husband who sold land for produce did not do anything.** The Gemara asks: **What is the rationale** for this ruling? **Abaye said: We are concerned** that **perhaps** the land itself **will deteriorate** over time, as the purchaser has acquired only its produce and has no incentive to take proper care of the land. **Rava said:** This is **because** there is no **gain of the house** here.


###### Ketubot 80b:5
[Ketubot 80b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/80b:5)

מַאי בֵּינַיְיהוּ? אִיכָּא בֵּינַיְיהוּ אַרְעָא דִּמְקָרְבָא לְמָתָא, אִי נָמֵי: בַּעַל אָרִיס הוּא. אִי נָמֵי, זוּזֵי וְקָא עָבֵיד בְּהוּ עִיסְקָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara asks: **What is the** practical **difference between** these two explanations? The Gemara explains: **The practical difference between them** is, e.g., **land that is close to** the **town,** as one can check at any time whether the land is being cared for properly. **Alternatively,** the difference involves **a husband** who **is a sharecropper** and works the land himself but sold the rights of the produce to someone else. As a sharecropper, the husband retains part of the produce and will also ensure that the land does not deteriorate. **Alternatively,** the difference concerns a husband who receives **money** for the produce **and does business with it,** which provides gain for the house.


###### Ketubot 80b:6
[Ketubot 80b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/80b:6)

**מַתְנִי׳** שׁוֹמֶרֶת יָבָם שֶׁנָּפְלוּ לָהּ נְכָסִים — מוֹדִים בֵּית שַׁמַּאי וּבֵית הִלֵּל שֶׁמּוֹכֶרֶת וְנוֹתֶנֶת וְקַיָּים.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** When a married man dies childless, his brother, the *yavam*, is obligated to perform levirate marriage or release the widow, the *yevama*, through a ceremony known as *ḥalitza*. With regard to **a widow waiting for her *yavam* who** had **property bequeathed to her, Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel agree that she may sell or give** this property away, **and** the transaction is **valid.**


###### Ketubot 80b:7
[Ketubot 80b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/80b:7)

מֵתָה, מָה יַעֲשׂוּ בִּכְתוּבָּתָהּ וּבִנְכָסִים הַנִּכְנָסִין וְהַיּוֹצְאִין עִמָּהּ? בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים: יַחְלְקוּ יוֹרְשֵׁי הַבַּעַל עִם יוֹרְשֵׁי הָאָב. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים: נְכָסִים בְּחֶזְקָתָן, וּכְתוּבָּה בְּחֶזְקַת יוֹרְשֵׁי הַבַּעַל. נְכָסִים הַנִּכְנָסִים וְהַיּוֹצְאִים עִמָּהּ — בְּחֶזְקַת יוֹרְשֵׁי הָאָב.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If this woman **died, what should they do with her marriage contract and with the property that comes and goes with her,** i.e., her usufruct property? **Beit Shammai say:** Since she was not yet remarried, **the husband’s heirs,** such as his brothers or father, **divide** the property **with** her **father’s heirs. And Beit Hillel say: The property** retains **its** previous ownership **status, and** therefore the **marriage contract** is **in the possession of the husband’s heirs,** as they are responsible for its payment. As for the **property that comes and goes with her,** it is **in the possession of the heirs of the** woman’s **father,** as it belongs to the woman.


###### Ketubot 80b:8
[Ketubot 80b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/80b:8)

הִנִּיחַ אָחִיו מָעוֹת — יִלָּקַח בָּהֶן קַרְקַע, וְהוּא אוֹכֵל פֵּירוֹת. פֵּירוֹת הַתְּלוּשִׁין מִן הַקַּרְקַע — יִלָּקַח בָּהֶן קַרְקַע, וְהוּא אוֹכֵל פֵּירוֹת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If **his** deceased **brother left money** as part of his estate, **land** to be used as a lien on her marriage contract **is acquired with it, and** the *yavam* **consumes the produce.** Similarly, if the deceased brother left **produce that is detached from the ground, land is acquired with it and** the *yavam* **consumes the produce.**


###### Ketubot 80b:9
[Ketubot 80b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/80b:9)

הַמְחוּבָּרִין בַּקַּרְקַע, אָמַר רַבִּי מֵאִיר: שָׁמִין אוֹתָן כַּמָּה הֵן יָפִין בְּפֵירוֹת, וְכַמָּה הֵן יָפִין בְּלֹא פֵּירוֹת, וְהַמּוֹתָר — יִלָּקַח בָּהֶן קַרְקַע, וְהוּא אוֹכֵל פֵּירוֹת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If he left behind produce **that is attached to the ground, Rabbi Meir says: One evaluates** the properties to determine **how much they are worth with** the **produce, and how much they are worth without** the **produce. And** as for **the surplus,** which is the value of the produce, **land is acquired with it and** the *yavam* **consumes the produce.**


###### Ketubot 80b:10
[Ketubot 80b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/80b:10)

וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: פֵּירוֹת הַמְחוּבָּרִין בַּקַּרְקַע — שֶׁלּוֹ. הַתְּלוּשִׁין מִן הַקַּרְקַע — כׇּל הַקּוֹדֵם זָכָה בָּהֶן. קָדַם הוּא — זָכָה, קָדְמָה הִיא — יִלָּקַח בָּהֶן קַרְקַע וְהוּא אוֹכֵל פֵּירוֹת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And the Rabbis say: Produce that is attached to the ground** is **his.** Therefore, it is not used in the purchase of land, but the *yavam* may eat it. As for the produce **that is detached from the ground,** which is not mortgaged to her marriage contract, **whoever** takes possession **first has acquired it.** If the *yavam* takes possession of the property **first,** he **has acquired** it and may use it as he wishes, but if **she** is **first, land is acquired with it and he consumes the produce.**


###### Ketubot 80b:11
[Ketubot 80b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/80b:11)

כְּנָסָהּ, הֲרֵי הִיא כְּאִשְׁתּוֹ לְכׇל דָּבָר. בִּלְבַד שֶׁתְּהֵא כְּתוּבָּתָהּ עַל נִכְסֵי בַּעְלָהּ הָרִאשׁוֹן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
After the *yavam* has **married her, her** legal status is **that of his wife in every sense, except that** the responsibility for payment of **her marriage contract** is carried out **through** mortgaging **the property of her first husband,** not that of the *yavam*.


###### Ketubot 80b:12
[Ketubot 80b:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/80b:12)

לֹא יֹאמַר לָהּ ״הֲרֵי כְּתוּבָּתִיךְ מוּנַּחַת עַל הַשֻּׁלְחָן״, אֶלָּא כׇּל נְכָסָיו אַחְרָאִין לִכְתוּבָּתָהּ. וְכֵן: לֹא יֹאמַר אָדָם לְאִשְׁתּוֹ ״הֲרֵי כְּתוּבָּתִיךְ מוּנַּחַת עַל הַשֻּׁלְחָן״, אֶלָּא כׇּל נְכָסָיו אַחְרָאִין לִכְתוּבָּתָהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Therefore, the *yavam* **may not say to her: Your marriage contract is placed on the table.** He may not set aside a designated sum of money for this payment. **Rather, all** of the first husband’s **property is mortgaged for her marriage contract** as long as he has not divorced her. **And similarly,** in general **a man may not say to his wife: Your marriage contract is placed on the table. Rather, all his property is mortgaged for her marriage contract.**


###### Ketubot 80b:13
[Ketubot 80b:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/80b:13)

גֵּירְשָׁהּ — אֵין לָהּ אֶלָּא כְּתוּבָּה. הֶחְזִירָה — הֲרֵי הִיא כְּכׇל הַנָּשִׁים, וְאֵין לָהּ אֶלָּא כְּתוּבָּה בִּלְבָד.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If the *yavam* **divorced her** after performing levirate marriage, **she has only her marriage contract,** as she does not retain any rights to the rest of her first husband’s property. If he subsequently **remarried her, she is like all women, and she has nothing but her marriage contract.** In this case, the property of her first husband is no longer pledged for the payment of her marriage contract.


###### Ketubot 80b:14
[Ketubot 80b:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Ketubot/r/80b:14)

**גְּמָ׳** אִיבַּעְיָא לְהוּ: שׁוֹמֶרֶת יָבָם שֶׁמֵּתָה, מִי קוֹבְרָהּ? יוֹרְשֵׁי הַבַּעַל קָבְרִי לַהּ דְּקָא יָרְתִי כְּתוּבָּה, אוֹ דִלְמָא יוֹרְשֵׁי הָאָב קָבְרִי לַהּ, דְּקָא יָרְתִי נְכָסִים הַנִּכְנָסִין וְהַיּוֹצְאִין עִמָּהּ? אָמַר רַב עַמְרָם: תָּא שְׁמַע, דְּתַנְיָא: שׁוֹמֶרֶת יָבָם שֶׁמֵּתָה —

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **A dilemma was raised before** the Sages: In the case of **a widow awaiting her *yavam* who dies, who buries her?** Who is obligated to bear the expenses of her burial? Must the **husband’s heirs bury her, as they inherit the marriage contract, or perhaps** her **father’s heirs** are obligated to **bury her, as they inherit** the **property that comes and goes with her? Rav Amram said: Come** and **hear** a solution. **As it is taught** in a *baraita*: In the case of **a widow waiting for her *yavam* who dies,**
