דמינח ניחא לה בכל דהו – כריש לקיש, דאמר ריש לקיש: טב למיתב טן דו, מלמיתב ארמלו.
that it is satisfactory for her to have any kind of marital arrangement, and even had she taken into consideration the possibility of entering a levirate bond with this yavam who is afflicted with boils she still would have accepted betrothal to her husband. This is in accordance with the statement of Reish Lakish, as Reish Lakish says that women have a saying: It is better to sit as two bodies [tan du], i.e., to be married, than to sit lonely like a widow.
נתן את הכסף ליהויריב וכו׳. תנו רבנן: נתן אשם ליהויריב וכסף לידעיה – יחזיר כסף אצל אשם, דברי רבי יהודה. וחכמים אומרים: יחזיר אשם אצל כסף.
§ The Mishnah teaches: If the robber gave the money to the priestly watch of Joiarib and then gave the guilt-offering to the priestly watch of Jedaiah, the following priestly watch, to sacrifice on his behalf, he has fulfilled his obligation. By contrast, if he first gave the guilt-offering to the priestly watch of Joiarib and then gave the money to the priestly watch of Jedaiah, if the guilt-offering is extant, then members of the priestly watch of Jedaiah, who received the money, should sacrifice it. The Talmud quotes a baraita that records a dispute between tanna’im concerning this case. A baraita states (Tosefta 10:18): If the robber gave the guilt-offering to the priestly watch of Joiarib and then gave the money to the priestly watch of Jedaiah, they should return the money to be with the guilt-offering, i.e., with the priestly watch of Joiarib; this is the statement of R' Yehuda. And the Rabbis say the opposite: They should return the guilt-offering to be with the money, and the priestly watch of Jedaiah will sacrifice it.
