Se’if 1א׳

הַמְגָרֵשׁ אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ לְאַחַר זְמַן קָבוּעַ, הֲרֵי זוֹ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת כְּשֶׁיַּגִּיעַ הַזְּמַן שֶׁקָּבַע. וַהֲרֵי זֶה דּוֹמֶה לִתְנַאי, וְאֵינוֹ תְּנַאי. דּוֹמֶה לִתְנַאי, שֶׁהִיא מִתְגָּרֶשֶׁת כְּשֶׁיַּגִּיעַ הַזְּמַן שֶׁקָּבַע; וְאֵינוֹ תְּנַאי, שֶׁהַמְגָרֵשׁ עַל תְּנַאי הֲרֵי גֵּרַשׁ, וְזֶה עֲדַיִן לֹא גֵּרַשׁ עַד שֶׁיַּגִּיעַ אוֹתוֹ זְמַן. לְפִיכָךְ, הַמְגָרֵשׁ עַל תְּנַאי צָרִיךְ לִכְפֹּל תְּנָאוֹ, וְזֶה אֵינוֹ צָרִיךְ לִכְפֹּל דְּבָרָיו וְלֹא לִשְׁאָר מִשְׁפְּטֵי הַתְּנָאִים. כֵּיצַד, הָאוֹמֵר לְאִשְׁתּוֹ: הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ וְלֹא תִּתְגָּרְשִׁי בּוֹ אֶלָּא לְאַחַר שְׁלשִׁים יוֹם, אֵינָהּ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת אֶלָּא לְאַחַר שְׁלשִׁים יוֹם. וְאִם מֵת הַבַּעַל אוֹ אָבַד הַגֵּט אוֹ נִשְׂרַף בְּתוֹךְ שְׁלשִׁים יוֹם, אֵינָהּ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת:

One who divorces his wife after a fixed time, behold she is divorced when the set time arrives. And behold this is like a condition, but it is not a condition. It is like a condition, in that she is divorced when the set time arrives; and it is not a condition, for one who divorces on a condition behold he has divorced, and this man has not divorced until that time comes. Therefore, one who divorces on a condition must state his condition twice, and this one does not have to say his words twice or [adhere to] the other laws of conditions. How so? One who says to his wife: Behold this is your get but you are not divorced with it until after thirty days, she is not divorced until thirty days pass. And if the husband died or lost the get or if it was burned within the thirty days, she is not divorced.

If she went and put it [the bill of divorce] on the side of a public space, and it was stolen or lost after 30 days, she is divorced, since the bill of divorce was extant on the day she was divorced with it, and she placed it in a non-public space, for the sides of public spaces are not considered as public spaces proper. So too if he made the divorce dependent on some action, the law is the same as the law of one who divorces after some time. How so? For example, he said to his wife, "This is your bill of divorce and you will not be divorced with it until you give me 200 zuz," she will be divorced after giving. He need not duplicate the condition [i.e. specify what will happen if the condition is fulfilled and what will happen if it is not] or fulfill any other laws of conditions, for he did not divorce her conditionally, but rather he has still not divorced her, he has instead made the divorce dependent on the doing of such and such, and afterward she will be divorced. What is the difference between one who divorces conditionally and one who fixed a time for divorce or fixed the divorce to an action? One who divorces conditionally, there is divorce there, and it is not completed until the condition is fulfilled. Therefore, when the condition is fulfilled, she is divorced, if the bill of divorce had been validated, even though it was not in her possession, and she need not go back and take it again or for it to be in her possession after the condition is fulfilled, for it had already arrived in her hand originally under the laws of divorce. However, one who fixes the divorce to a time or action, it does not arrive in her hands under the laws of divorce but rather under the laws of a deposit until the fixed time arrives or the action is done. Therefore, when the time arrives, the bill of divorce must be in her possession, or she must go back and take it again, or it must be in a place that is unique to her, even if it is not in her possession, as we have explained, and then she can be divorced with it. If she remarried before the fixed time, or before the completion of the act upon which the divorce depended, she must leave the marriage and her offspring from him are from a prohibited marriage, as she is still entirely a married woman and no divorce has been effected.

Se’if 3ג׳

הַנּוֹתֵן גֵּט בְּיַד אִשְׁתּוֹ וְאָמַר לָהּ: אִם לֹא תִּתְּנִי מָאתַיִם זוּז אֵין זֶה גֵּט, אוֹ אֵין אַתְּ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת, הֲרֵי זֶה לֹא גֵּרַשׁ כְּלָל, וְאֵין כָּאן גֵּט לֹא עַל תְּנַאי וְלֹא תָּלוּי בְּמַעֲשֶׂה, וְכֵן כָּל כַּיּוֹצֵא בָּזֶה. וְאִם אָמַר לָהּ: הֲרֵי אַתְּ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת, וְאִם לֹא תִּתְּנִי לִי מָאתַיִם זוּז לֹא תִּהְיִי מְגֹרֶשֶׁת, הֲרֵי זוֹ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁלֹּא נָתְנָה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁלֹּא כָּפַל תְּנָאוֹ:

If one put a *get* [bill of divorce] and said to her, "If you do not give me 200 *zuz* [unit of currency], this is not a *get*," or "... you are not divorced," he has not divorced at all, and there is no *get* here, neither conditional nor on condition of an action, and similarly for any similar [case]. And if he said to her, "You are hereby divorced, and if you do not give me 200 *zuz*, you will not be divorced," she is divorced even if she has not given, because he did not make his condition two-fold.
