(8) These are the things they said [i.e., enacted] due to "ways of peace:" A Kohen should read [the Torah] first, and after him a Levite, and after him an Israelite due to "ways of peace;" we place the eruv [halachic merging of separate domains by means of setting aside an amount of food in a designated place] in an old house, due to "ways of peace"; the well nearest to the water-course must be filled first, due to "ways of peace." [With regard to] traps for wild animals, birds or fish or traps are included in the laws of theft, due to "ways of peace." Rabbi Yossi says, "It is actual theft." What a deaf person, a person who exhibits signs indicating severe mental incompetence, or a minor finds [is his own], and [stealing from him] is included in the laws of theft. due to "ways of peace." Rabbi Yossi says, "It is actual theft." In the case of a poor person beating down olives from the top of a tree, that which is under him is included in the laws of theft. Rabbi Yossi says, "It is actual theft." We do not prevent non-Jewish poor from gathering leket[that which is dropped in the course of harvesting, which is reserved for the poor] the forgotten [grain], and the produce of the corner of the field [reserved for the poor], due to "ways of peace."
(9) One woman may lend to another who is suspected [not to observe properly the laws] of the Sabbatical year, a flour-sieve, a winnow, a handmill, and a stove, but she may not assist her to winnow nor to grind. The wife of a chaver [one who scrupulously observes the detailed laws of tithes and ritual purity] may lend to the wife of an unlearned person, a flour-sieve or a winnow, and may aid her to winnow, to grind, or to sift; but as soon as water is poured over the flour, she may not further assist her, for we may not aid those who transgress the law. All of [these permitted acts] are due to "ways of peace." We may aid non-Jews [who works in the fields] during the Sabbatical year, but [we may not] aid an Israelite; and we ask how he is, due to "ways of peace."
(א) הָאוֹמֵר הִתְקַבֵּל גֵּט זֶה לְאִשְׁתִּי אוֹ הוֹלֵךְ גֵּט זֶה לְאִשְׁתִּי, אִם רָצָה לַחֲזֹר, יַחֲזֹר. הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁאָמְרָה, הִתְקַבֵּל לִי גִטִּי, אִם רָצָה לַחֲזֹר, לֹא יַחֲזֹר. לְפִיכָךְ, אִם אָמַר לוֹ הַבַּעַל, אִי אֶפְשִׁי שֶׁתְּקַבֵּל לָהּ אֶלָּא הוֹלֵךְ וְתֵן לָהּ, אִם רָצָה לַחֲזֹר, יַחֲזֹר. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, אַף הָאוֹמֶרֶת טֹל לִי גִטִּי, אִם רָצָה לַחֲזֹר, לֹא יַחֲזֹר:
(ב) הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁאָמְרָה, הִתְקַבֵּל לִי גִטִּי, צְרִיכָה שְׁתֵּי כִתֵּי עֵדִים, שְׁנַיִם שֶׁאוֹמְרִים בְּפָנֵינוּ אָמְרָה וּשְׁנַיִם שֶׁאוֹמְרִים בְּפָנֵינוּ קִבֵּל וְקָרַע, אֲפִלּוּ הֵן הָרִאשׁוֹנִים וְהֵן הָאַחֲרוֹנִים, אוֹ אֶחָד מִן הָרִאשׁוֹנִים וְאֶחָד מִן הָאַחֲרוֹנִים וְאֶחָד מִצְטָרֵף עִמָּהֶן. נַעֲרָה הַמְאֹרָסָה, הִיא וְאָבִיהָ מְקַבְּלִין אֶת גִּטָּהּ. אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוּדָה, אֵין שְׁתֵּי יָדַיִם זוֹכוֹת כְּאַחַת, אֶלָּא אָבִיהָ מְקַבֵּל אֶת גִּטָּהּ בִּלְבָד. וְכֹל שֶׁאֵינָהּ יְכוֹלָה לִשְׁמֹר אֶת גִּטָּהּ, אֵינָהּ יְכוֹלָה לְהִתְגָּרֵשׁ:
(1) [With regard to] one who says, "Accept this bill of divorce on behalf of my wife," or, "Bring this bill of divorce to my wife," he may take it back if he wants. [With regard to ] a woman who said [to a messenger], "Accept my bill of divorce on my behalf," if [the husband] wants to take it back, he cannot. Therefore, if the husband says to [the messenger], "I do not wish that you should accept it on her behalf, rather, go bring it her [as my messenger]," he may take it back if he wants. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says, "Even if she said, 'Pick up my bill of divorce,' if [the husband] wants to take it back, he cannot."
(2) [With regard to] a wife who said, "Accept my bill of divorce on my behalf," she requires two sets of witnesses; two who [must] say, "In our presence she uttered [this order]," and two who [must] say, "In our presence [the messenger] received the bill of divorce and tore it up." Even if the first group is the same as the second group, or one of the first and one of the second pair of witnesses [as long as] another [witness] joins with them. [With regard to] a betrothed pubescent girl, either she or her father may accept her bill of divorce. Rabbi Yehudah says, "Two hands [i.e., people] cannot posses that right at the same time; rather, only her father may accept her bill of divorce." And any female who is unable to take proper care of her bill of divorce, cannot be divorced at all.
