Se’if 1א׳

כְּסוּתָהּ כֵּיצַד, חַיָּב לִתֵּן לָהּ בְּגָדִים הָרְאוּיִים לָהּ בִּימוֹת הַגְּשָׁמִים וּבִימוֹת הַחַמָּה, בְּפָחוֹת שֶׁלּוֹבֶשֶׁת כָּל אִשָּׁה בַּעֲלַת בַּיִת שֶׁבְּאוֹתָהּ הַמְּדִינָה. וְאִם בְּאוֹתוֹ מָקוֹם אֵין דֶּרֶךְ לָצֵאת אִשָּׁה לַשּׁוּק עַד שֶׁיִּהְיֶה עָלֶיהָ רְדִיד הַחוֹפֶה אֶת כָּל גּוּפָהּ, נוֹתֵן לָהּ רְדִיד הַפָּחוּת שֶׁבְּכָל הָרְדִידִין. וְאִשָּׁה לֹא תַּרְגִּיל עַצְמָהּ לָצֵאת הַרְבֵּה, שֶׁאֵין יֹפִי לָאִשָּׁה אֶלָּא לֵישֵׁב בְּזָוִיּוֹת בֵּיתָהּ (טוּר). וּבִכְלַל הַכְּסוּת שֶׁהוּא חַיָּב לִתֵּן לָהּ, כְּלֵי בַיִת, וּמָדוֹר שֶׁיוֹשֶׁבֶת בּוֹ. וּמַה הֵם כְּלֵי בַיִת, מִטָּה מֻצַּעַת וּמַפָּץ (פֵּרוּשׁ, כְּעֵין מַחְצֶלֶת) אוֹ מַחְצֶלֶת לֵישֵׁב עָלֶיהָ, וּכְלֵי אֲכִילָה וּשְׁתִיָּה כְּגוֹן קְדֵרָה וּקְעָרָה וְחָבִית וּפַךְ וְנֵר וְכוֹס וּבַקְבּוּק וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָּהֶן:

How [is he obligated] for her clothing? He must give her clothes fit for the rainy months and for the sunny months, according to the lowest value that a woman would wear when her husband is in the same region. And if in that particular place a woman would not go out to the market until she has a veil covering her whole body, he must give her a veil whose value is lowest among veils. And a woman shouldn't accustom herself to go out a lot, for it is not becoming of a woman to sit in street corners [Tur]. And among the clothes that he must give her is included her household vessels, and the stool she sits on. And what are these household vessels: A bed with a spread, and a mat or a mat to sit on, and utensils for food such as a dish and a pot and a jug and a flask, a lamb, a cup, a bottle and other such things.

Se’if 2ב׳

הַמָּדוֹר שֶׁשּׂוֹכֵר לָהּ, בַּיִת שֶׁל אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת עַל אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת, וְתִהְיֶה רְחָבָה חוּצָה לוֹ, וְיִהְיֶה לוֹ בֵּית הַכִּסֵא חוּץ מִמֶּנּוּ:

The residence that he rents for her, must be a house measuring four by four cubits, with a courtyard outside of it, and a toilet room is not considered part of this measure.

Se’if 3ג׳

וּמְחַיְּבִין אוֹתוֹ לִתֵּן לָהּ תַּכְשִׁיטִים, כְּגוֹן בִּגְדֵי צִבְעוֹנִים לְהַקִּיף עַל רֹאשָׁהּ וּפַדַּחְתָּהּ, וּפוּךְ (פֵּרוּשׁ, כַּחַל שָׁחֹר) וְשָׂרָק (פֵּרוּשׁ, צֶמֶר גְּפָנִים שֶׁצוֹבְעִים אוֹתוֹ בְּחָרִיעַ וּמַעֲבִירִין אוֹתוֹ עַל פְּנֵי כַּלּוֹת שֶׁתִּתְרָאֶנָּה אֲדֻמּוֹת, עָרוּךְ), וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָּהֶן:

And we make him give her adornments like colorful clothing to put around her head and forehead, and eyeshadow (black coloring) and rouge (cotton that is colored with safflower and they apply it to the face of the bride so that she looks read, Arukh), and other such things.
