Mishnah 1א׳

הָאִישׁ מְקַדֵּשׁ בּוֹ וּבִשְׁלוּחוֹ. הָאִשָּׁה מִתְקַדֶּשֶׁת בָּהּ וּבִשְׁלוּחָהּ. הָאִישׁ מְקַדֵּשׁ אֶת בִּתּוֹ כְּשֶׁהִיא נַעֲרָה, בּוֹ וּבִשְׁלוּחוֹ. הָאוֹמֵר לְאִשָּׁה, הִתְקַדְּשִׁי לִי בִתְמָרָה זוֹ, הִתְקַדְּשִׁי לִי בְזוֹ, אִם יֵשׁ בְּאַחַת מֵהֶן שָׁוֶה פְרוּטָה, מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת. וְאִם לָאו, אֵינָהּ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת. בְּזוֹ וּבְזוֹ וּבְזוֹ, אִם יֵשׁ שָׁוֶה פְרוּטָה בְּכֻלָּן, מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת. וְאִם לָאו, אֵינָהּ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת. הָיְתָה אוֹכֶלֶת רִאשׁוֹנָה רִאשׁוֹנָה, אֵינָהּ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת, עַד שֶׁיְּהֵא בְאַחַת מֵהֶן שָׁוֶה פְרוּטָה:

A man may betroth by himself and through an agent, and a woman may become betrothed by herself and through an agent. A man may have his daughter betrothed when she is a na'arah [a pubescent girl distinguished from a prepubescent girl and a post-pubescent young women in a number of halakhic situations], by himself and through an agent. [With regard to] one who says to a woman, "Be betrothed to me with this date, be betrothed to me with this [one];" if in one of them there is [at least] the value of a perutah, she is betrothed, and if not, she is not betrothed. [If he says,] "With this one, and with this one, and with this one," if there is [at least] the value of a perutah in all of them [combined], she is betrothed; and if not, she is not betrothed. If she was eating them one by one [as he gave them to her], she is not betrothed unless there is the value of [at least] a perutah in one of them.

Mishnah 2ב׳

הִתְקַדְּשִׁי לִי בְכוֹס זֶה שֶׁל יַיִן, וְנִמְצָא שֶׁל דְּבָשׁ. שֶׁל דְּבָשׁ, וְנִמְצָא שֶׁל יַיִן. בְּדִינָר זֶה שֶׁל כֶּסֶף, וְנִמְצָא שֶׁל זָהָב. שֶׁל זָהָב, וְנִמְצָא שֶׁל כֶּסֶף. עַל מְנָת שֶׁאֲנִי עָשִׁיר, וְנִמְצָא עָנִי. עָנִי, וְנִמְצָא עָשִׁיר, אֵינָהּ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אִם הִטְעָהּ לְשֶׁבַח, מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת:

[If one says to a woman,] "Be betrothed to me with this cup of wine," and it is found to be of honey; "Of honey," and it is found to be of wine; "With this dinar [a specific unit of money] of silver," and it is found to be of gold; "Of gold," and it is found to be of silver; "On condition that I am rich," and he is found to be poor; "Poor," and he is found to be rich." [In all these cases] she is not betrothed. Rabbi Shimon says, "If he deceived her to [her] advantage, [she] is betrothed."

Mishnah 3ג׳

עַל מְנָת שֶׁאֲנִי כֹהֵן, וְנִמְצָא לֵוִי. לֵוִי, וְנִמְצָא כֹהֵן. נָתִין, וְנִמְצָא מַמְזֵר. מַמְזֵר, וְנִמְצָא נָתִין. בֶּן עִיר, וְנִמְצָא בֶן כְּרַךְ. בֶּן כְּרַךְ, וְנִמְצָא בֶן עִיר. עַל מְנָת שֶׁבֵּיתִי קָרוֹב לַמֶּרְחָץ, וְנִמְצָא רָחוֹק. רָחוֹק, וְנִמְצָא קָרוֹב. עַל מְנָת שֶׁיֶּשׁ לִי בַת אוֹ שִׁפְחָה גַדֶּלֶת, וְאֵין לוֹ. אוֹ עַל מְנָת שֶׁאֵין לִי, וְיֶשׁ לוֹ. עַל מְנָת שֶׁאֵין לִי בָנִים, וְיֶשׁ לוֹ. אוֹ עַל מְנָת שֶׁיֶּשׁ לִי, וְאֵין לוֹ. וּבְכֻלָּם, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאָמְרָה, בְּלִבִּי הָיָה לְהִתְקַדֵּשׁ לוֹ, אַף עַל פִּי כֵן, אֵינָהּ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת. וְכֵן הִיא שֶׁהִטְעַתּוּ:

[If one says to a woman, "Be betrothed to me] on condition that I am a kohen," and he is found to be a Levite; "A Levite," and he is found to be a kohen; "A netin [a Gibeonite]," and he is found to be a mamzer [the offspring of certain prohibited relationships who may not marry into the general Jewish population]; "A mamzer," and he is found to be a netin; "A village-dweller," and he is found to be a city-dweller; "A city-dweller," and he is found to be a village-dweller; "On condition that my house is near the bathhouse," and it is found to be far; "Far [from the bathhouse]," and it is found to be near; "On condition that I have an older daughter or maidservant," and he does not have; "On condition that I do not have [an older daughter or maidservant]," and he does have; "On condition that I do not have sons," and he has; "On condition that I do have [sons]," and he does not have. And in all [of these cases], even though she says, "It was in my heart to be betrothed to him even so," she is not betrothed. And the same is true [in cases where] she deceives him.

Mishnah 4ד׳

הָאוֹמֵר לִשְׁלוּחוֹ, צֵא וְקַדֵּשׁ לִי אִשָּׁה פְלוֹנִית בְּמָקוֹם פְּלוֹנִי, וְהָלַךְ וְקִדְּשָׁהּ בְּמָקוֹם אַחֵר, אֵינָהּ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת. הֲרֵי הִיא בְמָקוֹם פְּלוֹנִי, וְקִדְּשָׁהּ בְּמָקוֹם אַחֵר, הֲרֵי זוֹ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת:

One who says to his agent, "Go out and betroth on my behalf a certain woman in a certain place," and he went and betrothed her in another place, she is not betrothed. [However, if he said,] "Behold, she is in a certain place," and he went and betrothed her in another place, she is betrothed.
