R. Meir makes Kesuvah (what people write in documents) Midrash;

(R. Meir): If Reuven accepted to work Shimon's field [and he left it fallow], we estimate how much it was proper to produce, and he pays [this] to him, for he writes [in the contract] - 'if I will leave it fallow and not work it, I will pay what it would have produced.'

R. Yehudah makes Kesuvah Midrash;

R. Yehudah expounded, a man brings for his wife every Korban that she is obligated, even if she ate Chelev or was Mechalel Shabbos;

And so R. Yehudah said, if he divorced her, he is not obligated, for so she writes to him [in a receipt of payment of the Kesuvah, that she exempts him from] 'Achrayus (responsibility) that I had against you [for my obligations] before this day.'

R. Yosi makes Kesuvah Midrash;

(R. Yosi): In a place where the custom is to make a Kesuvah (dowry) like a loan (i.e. its proper value, the Chasan) collects everything (from his father-in-law, and if she later collects the Kesuvah, she collects the full amount). In a place where they [write] double [the true amount, her father gives half the amount written, and when she collects the Kesuvah,] she collects only half.

R. Lazar ha'Kapar makes Kesuvah Midrash;

(R. Lazar ha'Kapar): One may not buy a Behemah, Chayah or bird unless he prepared food for it. (He learns from the Kesuvah, in which one writes 'I will work... and finance you', and the same applies to acquiring animals.)

R. Yehoshua ben Korchah makes Kesuvah Midrash;

(R. Yehoshua ben Korchah): If Reuven lent to Shimon, he may not (later tell a Shali'ach of Beis Din to) take collateral worth more than the loan, for [when Reuven returns the security before the debt is repaid, Shimon] writes 'you will be paid [the value of this security] from property that comes to me and from what I will buy from now and onwards.' (If the security is worth more than the loan, this is not correct!)

Rav Huna makes Kesuvah Midrash;

(Rav Huna): 'The sons will inherit and the daughters will be fed' - just like the sons inherit [even] Metaltelim, also the daughters are fed [even] from Metaltelim.

(Shmuel): The daughters are not fed from Metaltelim.

Support (for Shmuel - Mishnah): [It says in the Kesuvah] 'female children that you will have from me, they will dwell in my house and be fed from my property, until they marry men';

A Beraisa taught on this Mishnah says 'from land, and not from Metaltelim.' (Just like sons inherit [Kesuvas Benin Dichrin, i.e. an enactment that sons inherit their mother's dowry] only from land, also the daughters are fed only from land.)

(R. Ba bar Zavda): Rav Huna's opinion is like Rebbi, and Shmuel's opinion is like R. Shimon ben Elazar;

(Beraisa): The same applies to property with Achrayus (land) and property without Achrayus (Metaltelim) - we take from them for food for the widow and daughters. Rebbi says so;

R. Shimon ben Elazar says, property with Achrayus - [minor] sons take from [adult] sons (to divide it equally, and if he left only daughters, [minor] daughters take from [adult] daughters (to divide it equally), sons take from daughters (if the daughters took more than they need for food), and daughters take [for food] from sons [who inherited];

Property without Achrayus - sons take from daughters, but daughters do not take from sons (they are not fed from it).

They say that Rav Huna retracted [to hold like Shmuel].

They say, it is proper [that he retracted]. Inheritance is mid'Oraisa, and Kesuvah (Benin Dichrin) and food for the daughters are mid'Rabanan. [If nothing remains for Torah inheritance,] will [Chachamim's] words uproot Torah [inheritance]?!

Note: We assume that a person always leaves over Metaltelim, so if food is collected only from land, inheritance is not uprooted.

Rather, [Rav Huna and Shmuel] argue about [whether we collect from Metaltelim] the money of their mother's Kesuvah (it is like inheritance).

Objection: Money of their mother's Kesuvah (is Tenai Kesuvah, just like food for the daughters). Is it not [collected only from] land [according to everyone?! We explained this like CHESHEK SHLOMO, Yevamos 15:3.]

If one descended to his wife's property, and decided to divorce her, and he hastily detached from the land - he is zealous and gains (he keeps the Peros).

One who descends to Shevuyin property (of a captive), and he heard that [the owner] is coming, and he hastily detached from the land - he is zealous and gains;

This is Shevuyin property - his father, brother, or anyone whom he inherits went overseas, and he heard [falsely] that he died and he took it for an inheritance.

However, Netushin property, we take it from him.

This is Netushin property - his father, brother, or anyone whom he inherits went overseas, and he did not hear that he died and he took it for an inheritance.

R. Shimon ben Gamliel says, I heard that Shevuyin is [the same as] Netushin property, but Retushin property, we take it from him;

This is Retushin property - his father, brother, or anyone whom he inherits went overseas, and it is not known where they are.

(Shmuel): Shavuy is one who left unwillingly. Had he left willingly, [presumably] he would have commanded [his relative to work and guard the property]. Ratush is one who left unwillingly.

Support: He has a reason why he wants to divert from his property, for he left willingly and did not command him [to work the property]!

(R. Ba citing Rav Yehudah citing Shmuel): The law of Retushin property does not apply to Metaltelim.

(R. Yakov bar Acha citing Rav Yehudah): Grain ready to be harvested, and vines ready to be harvested, they are [considered] Metaltelim (the law of Retushin does not apply to them).

Question (Rav Sheshes): These date trees in Bavel do not need to be grafted. (What is their law?)

Answer: Is it not reasonable that we make them like attached crops ready to be harvested, and vines ready to be harvested?
