Commentary for Kiddushin 38:6
מהו דתימא הא לא אמר ליה מעכשיו קמ"ל
Shall we say, on R'Jose son of R'Judah's? But [he maintained:] If there is sufficient time in that day for her to do work to the value of a perutah, she i betrothed; if not, she is not betrothed!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which proves that kiddushin do not commence at the beginning of her servitude, but only at the last moment. Hence here too, kiddushin commence at the end of the thirty days, and therefore if another man betroths her in the meantime, she is betrothed to the second.');"><sup>4</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
We might have thought that since the master, when buying the slave, did not say that his betrothal was beginning at this point, this is not analogous to the case of “from now and after thirty days,” therefore the baraita needed to teach us that it is.
