גיטין פרק ג׳ משנה ד׳

Rabbi Elazar ben Perata said three statements before the Sages as testimony from previous generations, and they upheld his statements: He spoke concerning the residents of a town that was surrounded by a camp of besiegers [karkom]; and concerning the travelers in a ship that is cast about in the sea; and concerning one who is going out to be judged in a capital case; that they are all presumed to be alive. However, concerning the residents of a town that was conquered by a camp of besiegers; and the travelers on a ship that was lost at sea; and one who is going out to be executed after receiving his verdict; in these cases one applies to them the stringencies of the living and the stringencies of the dead. How so? An Israelite woman married to a priest in one of these situations or a daughter of a priest married to an Israelite in one of these situations may not partake of teruma. The first woman may not do so because she may partake of teruma only while her husband is alive, and the second may not do so because she may partake of teruma only if he has died.
שְׁלֹשָׁה דְבָרִים אָמַר רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן פַּרְטָא לִפְנֵי חֲכָמִים וְקִיְּמוּ אֶת דְּבָרָיו. עַל עִיר שֶׁהִקִּיפָהּ כַּרְקוֹם, וְעַל הַסְּפִינָה הַמִּטָּרֶפֶת בַּיָּם, וְעַל הַיּוֹצֵא לִדּוֹן, שֶׁהֵן בְּחֶזְקַת קַיָּמִין. אֲבָל עִיר שֶׁכְּבָשָׁהּ כַּרְקוֹם, וּסְפִינָה שֶׁאָבְדָה בַיָּם, וְהַיּוֹצֵא לֵהָרֵג, נוֹתְנִין עֲלֵיהֶן חֻמְרֵי חַיִּים וְחֻמְרֵי מֵתִים, בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל לְכֹהֵן, וּבַת כֹּהֵן לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, לֹא תֹאכַל בַּתְּרוּמָה:
ד׳

כרקום – from the Aramaic translation, works of siege (the husband is presumed to be alive in such a setting as opposed to when the city is conquered).

המטרפת – but has not yet sunk.

לידון – in [a matter of] capital crimes.

בת ישראל לכהן – the stringencies regarding death

בת כהן לישראל – the stringencies regarding life

כרקום. תרגום מצור כרכומין:

המטרפת. ועדיין לא טבעה:

לידון. בדיני נפשות:

בת ישראל לכהן. חומרי מתים:

בת כהן לישראל. חומרי חיים:

Mishnayos Gittin Perek 3 Mishnah 5

גיטין פרק ג׳ משנה ה׳

5
With regard to an agent who brings a bill of divorce in Eretz Yisrael, where his only responsibility is to transmit the bill of divorce to the wife, and the agent became sick, this agent may send it in the possession of another agent. But if the husband said to the agent: When you transmit the bill of divorce to my wife, take for me such and such an item from her that I left with her as a deposit, then he may not send it in the possession of another agent. This is because it is assumed that it is not the desire of the husband that his deposit be in the possession of another person whom he did not appoint as his agent.
הַמֵּבִיא גֵט בְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְחָלָה, הֲרֵי זֶה מְשַׁלְּחוֹ בְיַד אַחֵר. וְאִם אָמַר לוֹ טֹל לִי הֵימֶנָּה חֵפֶץ פְּלוֹנִי, לֹא יְשַׁלְּחֶנּוּ בְיַד אַחֵר, שֶׁאֵין רְצוֹנוֹ שֶׁיְּהֵא פִקְדוֹנוֹ בְיַד אַחֵר:
ה׳

המביא גט בארץ ישראל – where it is not necessary to say, “it was written in my presence and signed in my presence.”

משלחו ביד אחר – And makes him [of the other] an agent on his own and not in the Jewish court, and specifically if he had become ill.

ואם אמר לו – the husband to the agent

טול לי הימנה חפץ פלוני – When you give her the Jewish bill of divorce

המביא גט בארץ ישראל. שאין צריך לומר בפני נכתב ובפני נחתם:

משלחו ביד אחר. ועושה שליח מאליו ולא בבית דין. ודוקא חלה:

ואם אמר לו. בעל לשליח:

טול לי הימנה חפץ פלוני. כשתתן לה את הגט. לא ישלחנו ביד אחר:
