(Mishnah): A man is not obligated to feed his daughter;

R. Elazar ben Azaryah expounded this in Kerem b'Yavneh. [It says in the Kesuvah] 'the sons inherit and the daughters are fed.' Just like the sons inherit only after their father dies, so the daughters are fed only after their father dies.

(Gemara - Beraisa): It is a Mitzvah to feed daughters, and one need not say that it is a Mitzvah to feed sons.

R. Yochanan ben Brokah says, one is obligated to feed daughters.

Some teach that the primary [Mitzvah] is [to feed] sons, and some teach that daughters are primary;

The one who says that sons are primary, this is for Talmud Torah;

The one who says that daughters are primary, this is lest they sin (Zenus).

(Reish Lakish citing R. Yehudah ben Chananyah): They voted in Usha [and decreed] that a man feed his minor sons.

Objection (R. Yochanan): Do we know who was in that vote (to force men to do so)?!

Ukva came to R. Yochanan. He told him, Ukva, feed your sons!

Ukva: What is the source for this, my Rebbi?

R. Yochanan: Evil Ukva! Feed your sons!

(R. Ula): A Mishnah teaches so, that a man feeds his minor sons;

(Mishnah): If [his wife] was nursing, he reduces the work (she must do for him), and he adds to her food.

(Reish Lakish citing R. Yehudah ben Chananyah): They voted in Usha [and decreed] that one who writes his property to his sons [for a gift], he and his wife are fed from it.

Question: What is the law of his minor sons (are also they fed from it)?

Answer (R. Avahu citing R. Yosi bei R. Chaninah, and some say in the name of R. Yehudah ben Chananyah): He and his wife his minor sons are fed from it.

Question: What is the law of his widow (is she fed from it)?

Remark (R. Ze'ira): This was asked, but it was not answered.

Answer (R. Ba bar Mamal): This was asked, and it was answered! R. Ba said, it seems that if she ate [from the gift] in her husband's lifetime, she eats [after his death]. If not, she does not eat.

Limitation: We said so only about one who wrote [his property to his sons], but if he sold it, no.

Question: If he wrote to his son and [his son] sold to others, what is the law?

Answer: Presumably, [the buyer] is like the one from whose [rights] he comes. (Just like the father and his wife are fed from what the son received, they are fed from the one who bought from the son.)

Question: [Do we take from what the son received in order to marry the father to] a woman?

R. Chaninah: I cannot learn this from reasoning.

Answer (R. Mana): Is it not reasonable that we hire a servant for him?! (This is a need like food!) And we marry him to a woman similarly, for she serves him. (We explained this like SEFER NIR.)

Question: What is the law of grandchildren (is there a Mitzvah to feed them)?

Answer #1 (R. Mana): Grandchildren are like children.

Answer #2 (R. Yosi): Grandchildren are not like children.

R. Shmuel brei d'R. Yosi bei R. Bun, and R. Matanyah were sitting. They wanted to say that grandchildren [are like sons] here (they inherit), grandchildren [are unlike sons] there (a grandfather must feed his grandchildren).

Rebuttal (R. Yosi bei R. Bun): Grandchildren, Torah inheritance jumped upon them. (Feeding daughters is mid'Rabanan. Perhaps they are unlike sons for this.)

(Reish Lakish citing R. Yehudah ben Chananyah): They voted in Usha [and decreed] that if one vexed a Chacham or disgraced him, he pays full embarrassment (proper for a Chacham, i.e. a Litra of gold).

A case occurred in which one vexed a Chacham and disgraced him, and he paid full embarrassment. (We explained this like MEICHAL HA'MAYIM.)

They say that R. Yehudah ben Chaninah was [the Chacham who was vexed].

(Reish Lakish citing R. Yehudah ben Chaninah): They voted in Usha [and decreed] that one should separate [at most] a fifth of his property [for Tzedakah].

Question: What is [the minimum needed to fulfill] the Mitzvah?

Answer #1: R. Yirmeyah and R. Aba bar Kahana - one of them said, it is the amount for Terumah (Gedolah, i.e. 2%) and Terumas Ma'aser (another 1%).

Answer #2 (the other of R. Yirmeyah and R. Aba bar Kahana): "Kaved Es Hash-m me'Honecha [ume'Reishis Kol Tevu'asecha]" - it is like from Reishis of all your grain (just Terumah Gedolah. We explained this like MEICHAL HA'MAYIM.)

Question (R. Gamliel bar Aniya, to R. Mana): If one gives a fifth every year... like it is written in the first Halachah of Pe'ah, until ["u'Tzedakah Tatzil mi'Maves"] - this does not refer to (what we call) death, rather, he will not die in the future (at the time of Techiyas ha'Mesim).

Note: R. Gamliel asked that in five years, he will give away all his money! R. Mana answered that initially he gives a fifth of his wealth, and afterwards a fifth from his income - SADEH YEHOSHUA Pe'ah 1:1.)

R. Elazar ben Azaryah makes the Kesuvah Midrash (a source from which to learn Halachos);

(R. Elazar ben Azaryah): 'The sons will inherit and the daughters will be fed' - just like the sons inherit only after their father died, also the daughters are fed only after their father died.

Hillel ha'Zaken expounded the wording of commoners;

So they used to write in Alexandria. When one was Mekadesh a woman, someone else from the market would seize her [and marry her]. When the case came in front of Chachamim, they wanted to make the children Mamzerim;

Hillel said 'take out the Kesuvos of your mothers [that they wrote at the time of Eirusin]!' They took out their mothers' Kesuvos, and found written in them 'when you will enter my house, you will be my wife like the law of Moshe and Yehudim.' (Therefore, the first Kidushin never took effect; the children are Kosher.)

Beis Shamai make the Kesuvah Midrash;

Beis Shamai expound, we learn from the Sefer Kesuvah. He writes to her 'if you will marry to another, you will receive what is written to you'! Beis Hillel retracted to rule like Beis Shamai.

[After they retracted, also] Beis Hillel make the Kesuvah Midrash.
