המקדש בתרומות

One who betroths with trumah

ובמעשרות

or with maaser

ובמתנות

or with gifts (the parts of every animal slaughtered that must be given to a kohen)

ובמי חטאת

or with the water of a chattos (i.e. water drawn for mixing with the ashes of a para adumah)

ובאפר חטאת

or with the ashes a chattos (i.e. of a para adumah)

הרי זו מקדשת

she is betrothed,

ואפלו ישראל

even if he is a yisroel.

 

 

פרק ג משנה א
האומר לחברו 

One who says to his colleague

צא וקדש לי אשה פלונית

go and betroth a certain woman for me,

והלך וקדשה לעצמו

and [the colleague] goes and betroths her to himself,

מקדשת 

she is betrothed [to the second one].

וכן האומר לאשה

And similarly one who says to a woman

הרי את מקדשת לי

"You are betrothed to me

לאחר שלשים יום

after thirty days,"

ובא אחר

and another comes

וקדשה בתוך שלשים יום

and betroths her within the thirty days

מקדשת לשני

she is betrothed to the second;

בת כהן  לישראל

if she was the daughter of a kohen [who was to be betrothed after thirty days] to a Yisroel

or, according to an alternate גירסה:

בת ישראל לכהן

if she is the daughter of a Yisroel [who was betrothed within the thirty days] to a Kohen

תאכל בתרומה

she may eat trumah.

מעכשיו ולאחר שלשים יום

[If he said to her that she is betrothed] "From now and after thirty days,"

ובא אחר

and another comes

וקדשה בתוך שלשים יום

and betroths her within the thirty days

מקדשת ואינה מקודשת

she is [considered] betrothed and not betrothed

בת ישראל לכהן

if she is the daughter of a Yisroel [who was to be betrothed after the thirty days] to a Kohen

או בת כהן לישראל

or the daughter of a Kohen [who was to be betrothed after the thirty days] to a Yisroel

לא תאכל בתרומה

she may not eat trumah.

 

 

NOTES

משנה י

הרי זו מקדשת - As these are not considered divine property, although there can be restrictions on their use.

ואפלו ישראל - This refers to a ישראל who inherited from his maternal grandfather who was a כהן.

משנה א

מקדשת - We do not assume that if she would have known about the first one's offer she would have declined the second's, and so therefore it is a מקח טעות.

מקדשת ואינה מקודשת - As we cannot tell from this language whether he intended her to be betrothed immediately or after thirty days, we would require a גט from whichever of the two (or both) that she does not eventually marry.
