גיטין פרק ו׳ משנה ד׳
An Israelite woman married to a priest partakes of teruma. If she says to an agent: Bring me my bill of divorce, designating him as an agent for delivery, she continues to partake of teruma until the bill of divorce reaches her possession. However, if she says: Receive my bill of divorce for me, thereby designating him as an agent for receipt, it is immediately prohibited for her to partake of teruma. Since the divorce takes effect when the husband hands the bill of divorce to the agent, the concern is that the agent encountered the husband nearby. If the woman said to the agent: Receive my bill of divorce for me in such and such a place, then even if he received it elsewhere, she continues to partake of teruma until the bill of divorce reaches that place. Rabbi Elazar prohibits her from partaking of teruma immediately.
הָבֵא לִי גִטִּי, אוֹכֶלֶת בַּתְּרוּמָה עַד שֶׁיַּגִּיעַ גֵּט לְיָדָהּ. הִתְקַבֵּל לִי גִטִּי, אֲסוּרָה לֶאֱכֹל בַּתְּרוּמָה מִיָּד. הִתְקַבֵּל לִי גִטִּי בְמָקוֹם פְּלוֹנִי, אוֹכֶלֶת בַּתְּרוּמָה עַד שֶׁיַּגִּיעַ גֵּט לְאוֹתוֹ מָקוֹם. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹסֵר מִיָּד:
Bartenura
הבא לי גטי אוכלת בתרומה. אם אשת כהן היא. עד שיגיע גט לידה:
לאותו מקום. שכך אמרה לו לא תהא שלוחי אלא שם:
ורבי אליעזר אוסר מיד. משפירש מאצלה. ורבי אליעזר לטעמיה דמכשיר כשקבלו במקופ אחר, דמראה מקום היא לו ומשעת קבלה איגרשה לה, לפיכך משעה שפירש מלפניה אסורה, שמא מצאו חוץ לעיר וקבלו הימנו. ואין הלכה כר״א:
הבא לי גטי אוכלת בתרומה – if she is the wife of a Kohen, until the Jewish bill of divorce reaches her hand.
לאותו מקום – since she said to him (i.e., the agent): you will not be my agent other than “there.”
ורבי אליעזר אוסר מיד – from when he separated from her. And Rabbi Eliezer, according to his reasoning, who validates [the Jewish bill of divorce] when it is received in a different placer, for he she is merely showing him the place, and from the time that he [i.e., the agent] receives it, she will be divorced from him. Therefore, from the moment that he separated from her presence, she is prohibited [from consuming the heave-offering/sanctified food of the Kohen] lest the husband find the agent outside the city and he receives it [i.e., the Jewish bill of divorce] from him. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eliezer.
