Audio by Dr. Michael Sokolow

If two brothers, one of whom was deaf and the other of sound senses, were married to two strangers who were of sound senses, and the deaf brother, the husband of [the woman who was] of sound senses died, what should the brother of sound senses, the husband of the woman of sound senses, do? He either submits to halizah or contracts Levirate marriage. If the brother of sound senses, the husband of [the woman who was] of sound senses, died, what should the deaf brother, the husband of the woman who was of sound senses, do? He must marry her and he may never divorce her.

 שני אחים, אחד חירש ואחד פיקח, נשואים לשתי נוכרייות פיקחות-- מת חירש בעל הפיקחת, מה יעשה פיקח בעל הפיקחת׃ או חולץ, או מייבם׃ מת פיקח בעל הפיקחת, מה יעשה חירש בעל הפיקחת׃ כונס, ואינו מוציא לעולם

שני אחים פיקחים נשואים לשתי נוכרייות, אחת חירשת ואחת פיקחת-- מת פיקח בעל החירשת, מה יעשה פיקח בעל הפיקחת׃ כונס; ואם רצה להוציא, יוציא׃ מת פיקח בעל הפיקחת, מה יעשה פיקח בעל החירשת׃ או חולץ, או מייבם
