In the case of one who sends a bill of divorce to his wife with an agent, and he reached the agent, or where he sent another agent after him, and he said to the agent delivering the bill of divorce: The bill of divorce that I gave you, it is void, then this bill of divorce is hereby void. Similarly, if the husband reached his wife before the bill of divorce reached her, or in a case where he sent an agent to her, and he said, or had the agent say, to his wife: The bill of divorce that I sent to you, it is void, then this bill of divorce is hereby void. However, if he stated this once the bill of divorce had entered her possession, he can no longer render it void, as the divorce had already taken effect.

ืืฉืืื ืื ืืืืืข ืืฉืืื โ for he had not intended to pursue after him to overtake him, but rather, when the agent got detained along the way and he [the husband] was on the path to there and saw him and nullified the Jewish bill of divorce, even so, it is nullified. And we donโt say that he intended to merely cause suffering, for if he had intended to nullify it, he (the husband) would have pursued after him.
ืืื ื ืืืื ืืืืื โ that comes to teach us that even though we saw him that he ran after him to nullify it, we donโt say that this matter was revealed retroactively that he (i.e., the husband) had revoked the Jewish bill of divorce. For where a person gives a Jewish bill of divorce to his wife for a time or on condition, or says to her, โBehold this is your Jewish bill of divorce from now or from this [particular] timeโ; or if the specific condition had been fulfilled, and if he did not say to her โfrom nowโ โ even if after her Jewish bill of divorce had reached her hand, he can annul it.
