ואינה מגורשת!
or whether she is not divorced.
אמר אביי, תרי תנאי קאמר לה: אי מטינא לגליל – לאלתר ליהוי גיטא, ואי משתהינא באורחא תלתין יומין ולא אתינא – ליהוי גיטא. הגיע לאנטיפרס וחזר – דלא לגליל מטא, ולא אישתהויי נמי אשתהי תלתין יומין – בטל תנאו.
Abaye said: It may be that Antipatris is in Judea and Kefar Otnai is in the Galilee. The Mishnah can be explained as follows: The husband was saying a statement including two conditions to her: If I arrive in the Galilee then this will be a bill of divorce immediately, or if I will tarry on the way for 30 days and I do not come back home, this will be a valid bill of divorce. If he reached Antipatris and returned within 30 days, as he did not arrive in the Galilee and he also did not tarry for 30 days, then his condition is void and his wife is not divorced.
״הרי זה גיטיך אם לא באתי מכאן ועד שלשים יום״ כו׳: למימרא דעכו במדינת הים קיימא?! והא אמר רב ספרא: כי הוו מיפטרי רבנן מהדדי – בעכו הוו מפטרי, משום דאסור לצאת מארץ לחוצה לארץ!
The continuation of the Mishnah taught: This is your bill of divorce if I do not come back from now until the conclusion of 30 days. The Talmud asks: Is this to say that Akko is in a country overseas, and is not considered part of Eretz Yisrael? But didn’t Rav Safra say: When the rabbis would take leave from one another before departing Eretz Yisrael, they would take their leave in Akko, because it is prohibited to leave from Eretz Yisrael to go outside of Eretz Yisrael? This indicates that Akko is within Eretz Yisrael.
אמר אביי, תרי תנאי קאמר לה: אי מטינא למדינת הים – לאלתר ליהוי גיטא, אי משתהינא באורחא תלתין יומין ולא אתינא – ליהוי גיטא. הגיע לעכו וחזר – דלא למדינת הים מטא, ולא אישתהויי נמי אשתהי תלתין יומין – בטל תנאו.
Abaye said: The husband was saying a statement including two conditions to her: If I arrive in a country overseas, then this will be a valid bill of divorce immediately, or if I tarry 30 days on the way and I do not come back home, this will be a valid bill of divorce. If he reached Akko and returned, as he did not reach a country overseas and he also did not tarry for 30 days, his condition is void and his wife is not divorced.
