אֵיזֶה הוּא מְחִיר כֶּלֶב. הָאוֹמֵר לַחֲבֵרוֹ, הֵא לְךָ טָלֶה זֶה תַּחַת כֶּלֶב זֶה. וְכֵן שְׁנֵי שֻׁתָּפִין שֶׁחָלְקוּ, אֶחָד נָטַל עֲשָׂרָה, וְאֶחָד נָטַל תִּשְׁעָה וָכֶלֶב, שֶׁכְּנֶגֶד הַכֶּלֶב, אֲסוּרִים, שֶׁעִם הַכֶּלֶב, מֻתָּרִים. אֶתְנַן כֶּלֶב וּמְחִיר זוֹנָה, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ מֻתָּרִים, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (דברים כג), שְׁנַיִם, וְלֹא אַרְבָּעָה. וַלְדוֹתֵיהֶן מֻתָּרִים, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (שם) הֵן, וְלֹא וַלְדוֹתֵיהֶן:

What is the exchange of a dog? One says to his friend, "Take this lamb in place of this dog." So too for two partners who split up. If one took ten [lambs] and one took nine [lambs] and a dog, [and the ten lambs] are equivalent to the dog [and the nine lambs], then [the ten lambs] are forbidden. [The nine lambs] that are with the dog are permitted. A dog as the prostitute's fee, or the exchange of a prostitute are permitted, as it says, (Deuteronomy 23:19), "Two" and not four. Their children are permitted, [as it says], (Deuteronomy 23:19), "them" and not their children.
