| How [is the exemption of her rival by] the wife of his brother who was not his contemporary` [to be understood]?-if there were two brothers one of whom died, and after a third brother was born the second took in Levirate marriage his deceased brothers wife and then died himself, the first woman is exempt as `the wife of his brother who was not his contemporary`, and the second [is exempt] as her rival. If he addressed to her a Maamar and died, the second, must perform halizah but may not enter into the Levirate marriage. |
יבמות 2.1 כיצד אשת אחיו שלא היה בעולמו׃ שני אחים, ומת אחד מהן, ונולד להם אח, ואחר כך ייבם השני את אשת אחיו, ומת-- הראשונה יוצאה משום אשת אחיו שלא היה בעולמו, והשנייה משום צרתה׃ עשה בה מאמר, ומת-- שנייה חולצת, ולא מתייבמת |
| If there were two brothers and one of them died, and the second performed the Levirate marriage with his [deceased] brother`s wife, and after a [third] brother was born the second died, the first is exempt on account of her being the wife of his brother who was not his contemporary`, while the second is exempt as her rival. If he addressed to her a Maamar and died, the second must perform the halizah but she may not be taken in Levirate marriage. R. Simeon said: He may either take in Levirate marriage whichever of them he desires or he may participate in the halizah with whichever of them he desires. |
יבמות
2.2 שני אחים, ומת אחד מהן, וייבם השני את אשת אחיו, ואחר כך נולד להם אח, ומת-- הראשונה יוצא משום אשת אחיו שלא היה בעולמו, והשנייה משום צרתה׃ עשה בה מאמר, ומת-- שנייה חולצת ולא מתייבמת׃ רבי שמעון אומר, מייבם לאיזו שירצה, או חולץ לאיזו שירצה |
