קידושין פרק ב׳ משנה ב׳

2
If a man said to a woman: Be betrothed to me with this cup of wine, and it was found to be a cup of honey; or if he said: With this cup of honey, and it was found to be a cup of wine; or if he said: With this dinar made of silver, and it was found to be made of gold; or if he said: With this dinar made of gold, and it was found to be made of silver; or if he said: On the condition that I am wealthy, and he was found to be poor; or if he said: On the condition that I am poor, and he was found to be wealthy, she is not betrothed in any of these cases. Rabbi Shimon says: If he misled her to her advantage by giving her something better than what he stated, or if his status was greater than he claimed, she is betrothed.
הִתְקַדְּשִׁי לִי בְכוֹס זֶה שֶׁל יַיִן, וְנִמְצָא שֶׁל דְּבָשׁ. שֶׁל דְּבָשׁ, וְנִמְצָא שֶׁל יַיִן. בְּדִינָר זֶה שֶׁל כֶּסֶף, וְנִמְצָא שֶׁל זָהָב. שֶׁל זָהָב, וְנִמְצָא שֶׁל כֶּסֶף. עַל מְנָת שֶׁאֲנִי עָשִׁיר, וְנִמְצָא עָנִי. עָנִי, וְנִמְצָא עָשִׁיר, אֵינָהּ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אִם הִטְעָהּ לְשֶׁבַח, מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת:
ב׳

של זהב ונמצא של כסף כו' – There are different people who prefer only that or that.

רבי שמעון אומר: אם הטעה לשבח, הרי זו מקודשת – Rabbi Shimon does not dispute other on [the question] of financial increase; for in and of itself, if it is of the same value, it would be fine for him. But regarding the increase in value of genealogies, such as “if he is a Levite, and it was found that he is a Kohen, Rabbi Shimon would admit that even if he had been deceived or he deceased her, even for something better, she is not betrothed, for his betterment is not pleasant for her since he exalts himself over her. And the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

של זהב ונמצא של כסף כו׳ דאיכא דניחא לה בהא ואיכא דניחא לה בהא:

רבי שמעון אומר אם הטעה לשבח הרי זו מקודשת. לא פליג רבי שמעון אלא על שבח דממון, דמסתמא ניחא לה באותו שבח. אבל על שבח דיוחסין, כגון לוי ונמצא כהן, מודה רבי שמעון דאפילו הטעתו או הטעה הוא אותה לשבח אינה מקודשת, דלא ניחא לה בשבחו מפני שמתגאה עליה. ואין הלכה כרבי שמעון:

קידושין פרק ב׳ משנה ג׳

3
If one said to a woman: Be betrothed to me on the condition that I am a priest, and he was found to be a Levite; or if he said: A Levite, and he was found to be a priest; or if he said: Be betrothed to me on the condition that I am a Gibeonite, a people prohibited by rabbinic law from marrying into the congregation, i.e., from marrying a Jew of fit lineage, and he was found to be a mamzer, who is prohibited by Torah law to marry into the congregation; or he said: A mamzer, and he was found to be a Gibeonite; or if he said: Be betrothed to me on the condition that I am a resident of a small town, and he was found to be a resident of a large city; or he said: A resident of a city, and he was found to be a resident of a town; or if he said: Be betrothed to me on the condition that my house is close to the bathhouse, and it was found to be far; or he said: Far from the bathhouse, and it was found to be close, she is not betrothed. Or if he said that she is betrothed to him on the condition that he has a grown daughter or a maidservant, and he does not have one, or on the condition that he does not have one and he has one; or on the condition that he has no sons, and he has sons, or on the condition that he has sons and he does not have sons, then she is not betrothed. And in all these cases, despite the fact that she later stated: I intended to become betrothed to him nevertheless, whether or not he fulfilled the condition, she is not betrothed. And similarly, if it was she who misled him by making the betrothal conditional upon a statement of hers that turned out to be incorrect, the betrothal will not take effect.
עַל מְנָת שֶׁאֲנִי כֹהֵן, וְנִמְצָא לֵוִי. לֵוִי, וְנִמְצָא כֹהֵן. נָתִין, וְנִמְצָא מַמְזֵר. מַמְזֵר, וְנִמְצָא נָתִין. בֶּן עִיר, וְנִמְצָא בֶן כְּרַךְ. בֶּן כְּרַךְ, וְנִמְצָא בֶן עִיר. עַל מְנָת שֶׁבֵּיתִי קָרוֹב לַמֶּרְחָץ, וְנִמְצָא רָחוֹק. רָחוֹק, וְנִמְצָא קָרוֹב. עַל מְנָת שֶׁיֶּשׁ לִי בַת אוֹ שִׁפְחָה גַדֶּלֶת, וְאֵין לוֹ. אוֹ עַל מְנָת שֶׁאֵין לִי, וְיֶשׁ לוֹ. עַל מְנָת שֶׁאֵין לִי בָנִים, וְיֶשׁ לוֹ. אוֹ עַל מְנָת שֶׁיֶּשׁ לִי, וְאֵין לוֹ. וּבְכֻלָּם, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאָמְרָה, בְּלִבִּי הָיָה לְהִתְקַדֵּשׁ לוֹ, אַף עַל פִּי כֵן, אֵינָהּ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת. וְכֵן הִיא שֶׁהִטְעַתּוּ:
ג׳

שפחה גודלת – who plaits women’s hair. Another explanation: someone who is talkative and a master of language, as it states (Ezekiel 35:13): “And you spoke arrogantly against Me [and multiplied your words against Me: I have heard it].”

אע"פ שאמרה בלבי היה להתקדש כו' – that words that are in the heart are not words.

שפחה גודלת. קולעת שער הנשים. פירוש אחר, דברנית ובעלת לשון, כמו שנאמר (יחזקאל ל״ה:י״ג) ותגדילו עלי בפיכם:

אף על פי שאמרה בלבי היה להתקדש כו׳ דדברים שבלב אינם דברים:
