Mishnah 1א׳

הָאוֹמֵר הִתְקַבֵּל גֵּט זֶה לְאִשְׁתִּי אוֹ הוֹלֵךְ גֵּט זֶה לְאִשְׁתִּי, אִם רָצָה לַחֲזֹר, יַחֲזֹר. הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁאָמְרָה, הִתְקַבֵּל לִי גִטִּי, אִם רָצָה לַחֲזֹר, לֹא יַחֲזֹר. לְפִיכָךְ, אִם אָמַר לוֹ הַבַּעַל, אִי אֶפְשִׁי שֶׁתְּקַבֵּל לָהּ אֶלָּא הוֹלֵךְ וְתֵן לָהּ, אִם רָצָה לַחֲזֹר, יַחֲזֹר. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, אַף הָאוֹמֶרֶת טֹל לִי גִטִּי, אִם רָצָה לַחֲזֹר, לֹא יַחֲזֹר:

[With regard to] one who says, "Accept this bill of divorce on behalf of my wife," or, "Bring this bill of divorce to my wife," he may take it back if he wants. [With regard to ] a woman who said [to a messenger], "Accept my bill of divorce on my behalf," if [the husband] wants to take it back, he cannot. Therefore, if the husband says to [the messenger], "I do not wish that you should accept it on her behalf, rather, go bring it her [as my messenger]," he may take it back if he wants. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says, "Even if she said, 'Pick up my bill of divorce,' if [the husband] wants to take it back, he cannot."

Mishnah 2ב׳

הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁאָמְרָה, הִתְקַבֵּל לִי גִטִּי, צְרִיכָה שְׁתֵּי כִתֵּי עֵדִים, שְׁנַיִם שֶׁאוֹמְרִים בְּפָנֵינוּ אָמְרָה וּשְׁנַיִם שֶׁאוֹמְרִים בְּפָנֵינוּ קִבֵּל וְקָרַע, אֲפִלּוּ הֵן הָרִאשׁוֹנִים וְהֵן הָאַחֲרוֹנִים, אוֹ אֶחָד מִן הָרִאשׁוֹנִים וְאֶחָד מִן הָאַחֲרוֹנִים וְאֶחָד מִצְטָרֵף עִמָּהֶן. נַעֲרָה הַמְאֹרָסָה, הִיא וְאָבִיהָ מְקַבְּלִין אֶת גִּטָּהּ. אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוּדָה, אֵין שְׁתֵּי יָדַיִם זוֹכוֹת כְּאַחַת, אֶלָּא אָבִיהָ מְקַבֵּל אֶת גִּטָּהּ בִּלְבָד. וְכֹל שֶׁאֵינָהּ יְכוֹלָה לִשְׁמֹר אֶת גִּטָּהּ, אֵינָהּ יְכוֹלָה לְהִתְגָּרֵשׁ:

[With regard to] a wife who said, "Accept my bill of divorce on my behalf," she requires two sets of witnesses; two who [must] say, "In our presence she uttered [this order]," and two who [must] say, "In our presence [the messenger] received the bill of divorce and tore it up." Even if the first group is the same as the second group, or one of the first and one of the second pair of witnesses [as long as] another [witness] joins with them. [With regard to] a betrothed pubescent girl, either she or her father may accept her bill of divorce. Rabbi Yehudah says, "Two hands [i.e., people] cannot posses that right at the same time; rather, only her father may accept her bill of divorce." And any female who is unable to take proper care of her bill of divorce, cannot be divorced at all.

Mishnah 3ג׳

קְטַנָּה שֶׁאָמְרָה הִתְקַבֵּל לִי גִטִּי, אֵינוֹ גֵט עַד שֶׁיַּגִּיעַ גֵּט לְיָדָהּ. לְפִיכָךְ אִם רָצָה הַבַּעַל לַחֲזֹר, יַחֲזֹר, שֶׁאֵין קָטָן עוֹשֶׂה שָׁלִיחַ. אֲבָל אִם אָמַר לוֹ אָבִיהָ, צֵא וְהִתְקַבֵּל לְבִתִּי גִטָּהּ, אִם רָצָה לְהַחֲזִיר, לֹא יַחֲזִיר. הָאוֹמֵר תֵּן גֵּט זֶה לְאִשְׁתִּי בְמָקוֹם פְּלוֹנִי, וּנְתָנוֹ לָהּ בְּמָקוֹם אַחֵר, פָּסוּל. הֲרֵי הִיא בְמָקוֹם פְּלוֹנִי, וּנְתָנוֹ לָהּ בְּמָקוֹם אַחֵר, כָּשֵׁר. הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁאָמְרָה הִתְקַבֵּל לִי גִטִּי בְמָקוֹם פְּלוֹנִי, וְקִבְּלוֹ לָהּ בְּמָקוֹם אַחֵר, פָּסוּל. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר מַכְשִׁיר. הָבֵא לִי גִטִּי מִמָּקוֹם פְּלוֹנִי וֶהֱבִיאוֹ לָהּ מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר, כָּשֵׁר:

[With regard to] a female minor who said, "Accept my bill of divorce on my behalf," it is not an [effective] bill until it has reached her hands. Therefore, if the husband wished to revoke it, he can do so, because a minor cannot appoint a messenger. However, if her father said [to the messenger], "Go and accept my daughter's bill of divorce on her behalf," if the husband wished to revoke it, he cannot. [With regard to] one who says, "Give this bill of divorce to my wife in the place Such-and-such a place" and [the messenger] gave it to her elsewhere, it is invalid. [But had the husband said merely] "My wife is in Such-and-such a place" and [the messenger] gave it her in another place, it is valid. [With regard to] a woman who says, "Accept my bill of divorce on my behalf in Such-and-such a place," and he accepted it for her in another place, it is invalid; Rabbi Eliezer declares it valid. [If she said,] "Bring me my bill of divorce from Such-and-such a place," and he brought it from elsewhere, it is valid.

Mishnah 4ד׳

הָבֵא לִי גִטִּי, אוֹכֶלֶת בַּתְּרוּמָה עַד שֶׁיַּגִּיעַ גֵּט לְיָדָהּ. הִתְקַבֵּל לִי גִטִּי, אֲסוּרָה לֶאֱכֹל בַּתְּרוּמָה מִיָּד. הִתְקַבֵּל לִי גִטִּי בְמָקוֹם פְּלוֹנִי, אוֹכֶלֶת בַּתְּרוּמָה עַד שֶׁיַּגִּיעַ גֵּט לְאוֹתוֹ מָקוֹם. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹסֵר מִיָּד:

[If she says,] "Bring me my bill of divorce," she may eat terumah [a portion of a crop given to a Kohen which becomes holy upon separation, and can only be consumed by Kohanim or their household] until the bill of divorce reaches her hands. [If she says,] "Accept my bill of divorce on my behalf," it is prohibited for her to eat terumah immediately. [If she said,] "Accept my bill of divorce on my behalf in Such-and-such a place," she may eat terumah until the bill of divorce reaches that place; Rabbi Eliezer prohibits it immediately.
