(דברים כא יד) **וְהָיָה אִם לֹא חָפַצְתָּ בָּהּ**, הַכָּתוּב מְבַשֶּׂרְךָ שֶׁאַתָּה עָתִיד לִשְׂנאוֹתָהּ.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim, *Ibid*. 14) "And it shall be, when you do not desire her": Scripture apprises you that you are destined to hate her.


###### Sifrei Devarim 214:2
[Sifrei Devarim 214:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/214:2)

**וְשִׁלַּחְתָּהּ לְנַפְשָׁהּ** – וְלֹא לְבֵית אֱלֹהֶיהָ.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"then you shall send her on her own": but not to the house of her god.


###### Sifrei Devarim 214:3
[Sifrei Devarim 214:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/214:3)

**וְשִׁלַּחְתָּהּ** – בְּגֵט, כְּדִבְרֵי רַבִּי יוֹנָתָן; וְאִם הָיְתָה חוֹלָה – יַמְתִּין לָהּ עַד שֶׁתַּבְרִיא, קַל וָחוֹמֶר לִבְנוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל, שֶׁהֵן קְדוֹשׁוֹת וּטְהוֹרוֹת.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"then you shall send her": with a divorce (a "*get*"), as per R. Yochanan. "on her own": If she were sick, he must wait until she recovers — *a fortiori*, for Jewish daughters, who are holy and pure.


###### Sifrei Devarim 214:4
[Sifrei Devarim 214:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/214:4)

וּמָכוֹר לֹא תִמְכְּרֶנָּה בַּכָּסֶף, אֵין לִי אֶלָּא שֶׁלֹּא יִמְכְּרֶנָּה בְּכֶסֶף, מִנַּיִן שֶׁלֹּא יִתְּנֶנָּה בְּמַתָּנָה, וְלֹא יַעֲשֶׂה בָּהּ טוֹבָה? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר **וּמָכֹר לֹא תִמְכְּרֶנָּה בַּכָּסֶף**.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"you shall not sell her for money": This tells me only that he may not sell her for money. Whence do I derive that he may not give her away as a gift or as a gratuity? From (the superfluous) "*and sell* you shall not sell."

**לֹא תִתְעַמֵּר בָּהּ** – שֶׁלֹּא תִּשְׁתַּמֵּשׁ בָּהּ. דָּבָר אַחֵר: **לֹא תִתְעַמֵּר בָּהּ** – כְּדִבְרֵי רַבִּי יוֹנָתָן. דָּבָר אַחֵר: הֲרֵי זוֹ אַזְהָרָה לְבֵית דִּין.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"*lo tithamer bah*": You shall not use her. Variantly: This is an exhortation for (the observance of) everything mentioned in this section.

"after you have afflicted her": even after one act (of cohabitation).
