What are the connotations of "Alilos Devarim"?

1.

Yerushalmi Kesuvos, 4:4: We learn via a Gezeirah Shavah "Alilos Devarim" "Alilos Devarim" from Pasuk 16, that it refers to her having committed adultery. 1

1

See Torah Temimah, note 130.

2)

What are the implications of "ve'Amar 'es ha'Ishah ha'Zos Lakchti ... ' "?

1.

Sifri: It implies that it is (always) the claimant who opens the proceedings. 1

1

See Torah Temimah, note 132.

3)

What is the case? What does the man expect to gain through his claim?

1.

Ramban (on Pasuk 13): After betrothing and marrying her, he did not enjoy the first time he was intimate with her and claims before Beis-Din that she committed adultery after the betrothal 1 and that she is Chayav Sekilah, in order to exempt himself from having to pay her Kesubah.

1

Ramban: Otherwise the Torah would not have written "Liz'nos Beis Avihah" - See Pasuk 21. See also Sifsei Chachamim on Pasuk 20.

4)

Seeing as the Chasan backs-up his claim with witnesses, as the Gemara explains in Kesuvos, 46a - why does the Pasuk begin with the assumption that he is guilty of Motzi-Shem-Ra?

1.

Oznayim la'Torah: Because, based on the Midas Tzeni'us of B'nos Yisrael, we can safely presume that in the majority of cases, the girl did not commit adultery. 1

1

See Oznayim la'Torah DH 've'Sam lah Alilos Devarim' #1 and #2, where he elaborates even further. See also Torah Temimah in Pasuk 15, note 135, who, based on the same question, discusses why the girl's parents need to be shamed at this stage. Refer to 22:15:2:1.

5)

Why does the Torah insert the word "ha'Zos", implying that the woman is in Beis-Din, too?

1.

Rashi: To teach us that one can open a case in Beis-Din only in the presence of the defendant. 1

1

See Torah Temimah, note 132.

6)

What are the implications of the word "es ha'Ishah ha'Zos Lakachti'?

1.

Yerushalmi Kesuvos, 4:4: It precludes where she is a. an Amah Ivriyah with whom he made Yi'ud, b. only betrothed to him and not married, or c. a Yevamah 1 with whom he performed Yibum. 2

1

See also 22:16:2:3.

2

See Torah Temimah, note 133.

7)

What are the implications of the words "Va'ekrav Eilehah"?

1.

Kesuvos, 46a: It implies that the Din of Motzi-Shem-Ra only applies when he claims after he has been intimate with her. 1
