It is /b therefore b found /b that b each one of them performs i ḥalitza /i with his mother, due to /b the b uncertainty. /b ,There is a case where a man performs i ḥalitza /i b with his sister due to uncertainty. How so? /b If b his mother and another woman gave birth to two females in hiding, /b and they were mixed, b and /b the paternal, but b not maternal, /b half b brothers /b of this man and of the son of the other woman b came and married them, and /b those half brothers b died without children, /b the i halakha /i is that the living half brothers b perform i ḥalitza /i with both /b wives, each with his half sister-in-law. b It is /b therefore b found /b that b one performs i ḥalitza /i with his /b half b sister due to uncertainty. /b ,There is a case where one performs i ḥalitza /i b with his daughter due to uncertainty. How so? /b If b his wife and another woman gave birth to two females in hiding, /b and they were mixed, b and his brothers /b and the brothers of the other woman’s husband b came and married them, and they died without children, /b then b this one performs i ḥalitza /i with his daughter due to uncertainty, and that one /b also b performs i ḥalitza /i with his daughter due to uncertainty. /b ,§ Following the previous i baraita /i , the Gemara cites two additional i baraitot /i that discuss unusual family situations. b It is taught /b in a i baraita /i that b Rabbi Meir would say: A man and a woman can sometimes bear /b children of b five nations, /b i.e., of five separate categories of lineage., b How so? /b If b a Jew bought a slave and a maidservant from the market, and /b the slave and maidservant b had two children /b at the time, b and one of /b these children b converted, it is found /b that b one /b child b is a convert and /b the other b one is a gentile. /b If the master b immersed /b the slave and maidservant b for the sake of /b giving them the status of b slaves, and they engaged in intercourse with each other /b and had a child, b here there are /b three children in the family who are b a convert, and a gentile, and a slave. /b If he b freed the maidservant, /b which renders her a Jewess, b and /b her husband b the slave engaged in intercourse with her, /b and they had another child, b here there are a convert, a gentile, a slave, and a i mamzer /i . /b The offspring of a slave and a Jewess, according to Rabbi Meir, have the same status as a son born from an incestuous or adulterous relationship. If the master subsequently b freed both /b the maidservant and the slave b and married them to each other /b and they had another child, b here there are a convert, a gentile, a slave, a i mamzer /i , and /b a regular b Jew. /b ,The Gemara asks: b What is /b the i baraita /i b teaching us? /b The Gemara answers: It is teaching us that if b a gentile or a slave engaged in intercourse with a Jewish woman, /b their b offspring is a i mamzer /i . /b , b The Sages taught: There is /b a case in which a man b sells his father /b in order b to collect his mother’s marriage contract for her. How so? A Jew bought a slave and a maidservant from the market, and they had a son, and /b the master b freed the maidservant and married her, and he arose and wrote /b that b all his property /b should go b to her son, /b including her son’s father, the slave. b It is found /b that b this /b son, after receiving the master’s property, might b sell his father to collect /b for b his mother her marriage contract. /b ,The Gemara asks: b What is /b the i baraita /i b teaching us? /b The Gemara answers: b The entire /b i baraita /i b is /b the statement of b Rabbi Meir, and /b it is teaching us that although the legal status of b a slave is /b like that of b movable property, and /b there are those who hold that movable property cannot be mortgaged, Rabbi Meir holds that b movable property is mortgaged for a marriage contract. /b This is also Rabbi Meir’s ruling elsewhere. Therefore, one might be obligated to sell his slave to pay a marriage contract. b And if you wish, say /b that it is b teaching us this: /b The legal status of b a slave is like /b that of b real estate, /b and therefore, according to all opinions one is obligated to sell his slave to pay a marriage contract., strong MISHNA: /strong With regard to b a woman whose offspring was mixed with the offspring of her daughter-in-law, /b and their lineage was consequently indeterminate, and b the mixed /b sons b matured and married women, and /b subsequently b they died, the /b certain b sons of the daughter-in-law perform i ḥalitza /i /b with the wives, b but not levirate marriage, as /b with regard to each wife b it is uncertain /b whether she is b his brother’s wife, /b and therefore his i yevama /i , and b uncertain /b whether she is b his father’s brother’s wife, /b who is forbidden to him.,However, b the /b certain b sons of the elder woman, /b i.e., the mother-in-law, b perform either i ḥalitza /i or levirate marriage, as /b with regard to each wife b it is uncertain /b whether she is b his brother’s wife, /b in which case levirate marriage is valid, b or his brother’s son’s wife, /b in which case she is permitted to him, after having performed i ḥalitza /i with a son of the daughter-in-law.,If b the /b sons of certain, b unflawed /b lineage were the ones who b died, /b then b the mixed /b sons b perform i ḥalitza /i with /b the widows of b the elder woman’s sons but not levirate marriage, as it is uncertain /b whether she is b his brother’s wife or his father’s brother’s wife. With /b the widows of b the /b certain b sons of the daughter-in-law, one /b of the mixed sons b performs i ḥalitza /i , /b in case she is his brother’s wife. b And /b the other b one performs levirate marriage, /b as even if she is his brother’s son’s wife, she is permitted to him.,In the case of b a priestess whose offspring was mixed with her maidservant’s offspring, they may partake of i teruma /i , /b as both a priest and the slave of a priest partake of i teruma /i . b And they receive one share /b of i teruma /i b in the granary. /b |
