Mishnayos Yevamos Perek 10 Mishnah 8

יבמות פרק י׳ משנה ח׳

8

If a minor aged nine years and one day had relations with his yevama, and afterward that same boy had relations with her rival wife, he thereby disqualifies her to himself, and both women are now forbidden to him. Rabbi Shimon says he does not disqualify her. If a boy aged nine years and one day had relations with his yevama and died, that yevama performs ḥalitza and may not enter into levirate marriage. If the minor married a woman in a regular manner and died, she is exempt from levirate marriage and ḥalitza, as by Torah law a minor cannot marry.

בֶּן תֵּשַׁע שָׁנִים וְיוֹם אֶחָד שֶׁבָּא עַל יְבִמְתּוֹ, וְאַחַר כָּךְ בָּא עַל צָרָתָהּ, פָּסַל עַל יְדֵי עַצְמוֹ. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, לֹא פָסָל. בֶּן תֵּשַׁע שָׁנִים וְיוֹם אֶחָד שֶׁבָּא עַל יְבִמְתּוֹ, וּמֵת, חוֹלֶצֶת וְלֹא מִתְיַבֶּמֶת. נָשָׂא אִשָּׁה וּמֵת, הֲרֵי זוֹ פְטוּרָה:

בן ט' שנים ויום אחד שבא על בימתו ומת חולצת ולא מתיבמת – for she upon her the interdependence of a childless widow and her late brother’s brothers (i.e., the levirate relation) two brothers-in-law for the act of coition of this one, the younger (i.e., nine days and one-day old) is like the statement of levirate marriage from the older. She does not leave the levirate relation of the falling of the first [brother], and there falls upon her the levirate relationship through the falling of the second [brother] (see Rashi on the concluding Mishnah in Tractate Yevamot 96b). But it is taught in the Mishnah in Chapter Three (“Four Brothers”) (Tractate Yevamot, Mishnah 9, [referring to] the one who is subject to the levirate power of a single brother-in-law, and not the one who is subject to the levirate power of two brothers-in-law.

נשא אשה – [he married a woman] who is not his sister-in-law (i.e., the widow of the deceased childless brother), and he has brothers,

הרי זו פטורה – she is exempt, even though his sexual coition (i.e., of the brother who is nine years and one day old) is considered coition but his acquisition is not an acquisition at all until he brings forth two [pubic] hairs. But the widow of the childless dead brother, since she is dependent upon him, the Rabbis made her like a statement of betrothal.

בן תשע שנים ויום אחד. שבא על יבמתו ומת חולצת ולא מתיבמת. שיש עליה זיקת שני יבמין, שבביאתו של זה הקטן שהוא כמאמר בגדול לא יצאת מידי זיקת נפילה ראשונה, וחלה עליה זיקת נפילה שניה, ותנן בפרק ד׳ אחים, מי שעליה זיקת יבם אחד ולא שעליה זיקת שני יבמין:

נשא אשה. שאינה יבמתו, ומת ולו אחים:

הרי זו פטורה. דאע״ג דביאתו ביאה אין קנינו קנין כלום עד שיביא שתי שערות, אבל ביבמה הואיל וזקוקה לו עשו אותה רבנן כמאמר:
