출애굽기 22:15의 인용 해설

As she persuades him (meshadalto): She entices him; as we translate (Onkelos on Exodus 22:15), "And if a man entices," as Arei yeshadal.

שמשדלתו. Explanation: She wins him over [lit. seduces him] as Targum translates כי יפת, “If a man seduces” (Shemos 22:15), ארי ישדל.

Besides referring to the document, the word ketubah can also refer to the minimum marriage payment that a husband (or his estate) owes his wife upon death or divorce. For a first-time marriage (a woman assumed to be a virgin), the payment is 200 dinar/zuz and for a widow or divorcee the payment is 100 dinar/zuz. This amount correlates to the bridal price of 50 shekels (1 shekel=4 dinar) mentioned in Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (see also Exodus 22:15-16). The word ketubah can also occasionally refer to the dowry brought into the marriage by the wife. Our tractate discusses dowries as well.
