וְיָסְפ֣וּ הַשֹּׁטְרִים֮ לְדַבֵּ֣ר אֶל־הָעָם֒ וְאָמְר֗וּ מִי־הָאִ֤ישׁ הַיָּרֵא֙ וְרַ֣ךְ הַלֵּבָ֔ב יֵלֵ֖ךְ וְיָשֹׁ֣ב לְבֵית֑וֹ וְלֹ֥א יִמַּ֛ס אֶת־לְבַ֥ב אֶחָ֖יו כִּלְבָבֽוֹ׃
At muling magsasalita ang mga opisyal sa bayan, at sasabihin nila: “Sino ang lalaking matatakutin at mahina ang loob? Umalis siya at bumalik sa kanyang bahay, upang hindi niya panlambutin ang puso ng kanyang mga kapatid gaya ng kanyang puso.”
Jerusalem Talmud Sotah
HALAKHAH: “If he built a house and inaugurated it,” but did not use it for twelve months. “If he planted a vineyard and redeemed it,” but did not use it for twelve months. And all are derived from the wife: Since the wife needs twelve months, also all of them need twelve months. It was stated: All those mentioned remain unoccupied in town, [do not pay city taxes], and do not provide food and water nor improve the roads, as it is said202Deut. 24:5: If a man take a new wife, he shall not go out with the army, nor should anything be imposed on him; free for his house he shall be for one year and give pleasure to his wife whom he took.: “nor should anything be imposed on him,” but it may be imposed on others205In the opinon of the Babli, 44a, and Sifry Deut. 271, people preliminarily but not finally married, etc. Following the Genizah fragment, this would include people gainfully employed in the first year of their marriage, etc..
