Sotah 5 - Monday April 3, 12 Nissan

Where can one find a warning not to be arrogant? What will happen to those who are arrogant? How does God reward those who are humble? The Mishna on Sotah 2a had said that the husband warns her not to speak with that man but if she does, she is still permitted to her husband. Since that doesn’t make any sense, Abaye adds words into the Mishna to explain that only if he warned her not to go into a closed room and then she did, will she become a Sotah. The Mishna says that if the husband dies at this point and they have no children, the brother does not do yibum but he needs to do chalitza. What is the reason for this? There are three different versions of the answer given by Rav Yosef and the question that Abaye raises against his opinion.
