How so? If he performed levirate betrothal with this yevama and levirate betrothal with that one, i.e., her rival wife, they require two bills of divorce, each for her own levirate betrothal, and ḥalitza with one of them, to release them both from the levirate bond. If he performed levirate betrothal with this one and gave a bill of divorce to that one, the first woman requires a bill of divorce to cancel the levirate betrothal, and one of them must receive ḥalitza. If he performed levirate betrothal with this one and engaged in intercourse with that one, they require two bills of divorce and he must perform ḥalitza with one of them. If the yavam performed levirate betrothal with this one and performed ḥalitza with that one, the first woman requires a bill of divorce. If the yavam gave a bill of divorce to this yevama and a bill of divorce to that one, they require ḥalitza from him. If he gave a bill of divorce to this one and engaged in intercourse with that one, the latter requires a bill of divorce and ḥalitza. If he gave a bill of divorce to this one and performed levirate betrothal with that one, the latter requires a bill of divorce and he must perform ḥalitza with one of them. If the yavam gave a bill of divorce to this woman and performed ḥalitza with that one, nothing is effective after ḥalitza, and he cannot betroth the rival wife.
כֵּיצַד. עָשָׂה מַאֲמָר בָּזוֹ וּמַאֲמָר בָּזוֹ, צְרִיכוֹת שְׁנֵי גִטִּין וַחֲלִיצָה. מַאֲמָר בָּזוֹ וְגֵט בָּזוֹ, צְרִיכָה גֵט וַחֲלִיצָה. מַאֲמָר בָּזוֹ וּבָעַל אֶת זוֹ, צְרִיכוֹת שְׁנֵי גִטִּין וַחֲלִיצָה. מַאֲמָר בָּזוֹ וְחָלַץ לָזוֹ, הָרִאשׁוֹנָה צְרִיכָה גֵט. גֵּט לָזוֹ וְגֵט לָזוֹ, צְרִיכוֹת הֵימֶנּוּ חֲלִיצָה. גֵּט לָזוֹ וּבָעַל אֶת זוֹ, צְרִיכָה גֵט וַחֲלִיצָה. גֵּט לָזוֹ וּמַאֲמָר בָּזוֹ, צְרִיכָה גֵט וַחֲלִיצָה. גֵּט לָזוֹ וְחָלַץ לָזוֹ, אֵין אַחַר חֲלִיצָה כְּלוּם:
ד׳

צריכות שני גיטין – for both Yevamot/widows whose husbands died without children according to the Rabbis for there is a statement [of intention of the levir] after a statement [of intention of the levir].

וחליצה – to one of them and this exempts her rival/co-wife.

מאמר לזו וגט ולזו – the Jewish bill of divorce to the latter [wife] invalidates that of the first [wife] he has been declared as one “who will not build up [his brother’s house]” (Deuteronomy 25:9 – see Talmud Yevamot 32a), and she requires a Jewish bill of divorce for his declaration [of intention for levirate marriage] and Halitzah for his levirate connection.

מאמר לזו ובעל לזו צריכות שני גיטין – for this one, a Jewish bill of divorce for his declaration [of intention for levirate marriage] and for the other [woman] a Jewish bill of divorce for his act of coition.

וחליצה – to one of them and this exempts her rival/co-wife.

גט לזו ובעל לזו צריכות גט וחליצה – and it is prohibited to sustain her for he has been declared as one “who will not build up [his brother’s house]” (Deuteronomy 25:9), because of the first Jewish bill of divorce. But with a Jewish bill of divorce by itself, does not free woman who had a sexual act because it was a disqualifying act of coition.

אין לאחר חליצה כלום – and if afterwards he betrothed her or her rival/co-wife, Kiddushin/betrothal does not take effect with her, as per Rabbi Akiva, who said that Kiddushin does not take effect in those who are liable for violation of negative commandments, but it is not the Halakha.

צריכות שני גיטין. לשתי יבמות. כרבנן דיש מאמר אחר מאמר:

וחליצה. לאחת מהן, ופוטרת צרתה:

מאמר לזו וגט לזו. פסל גט של אחרונה את הראשונה, דקם ליה בלא יבנה, וצריכה גט למאמרו וחליצה לזיקתו:

מאמר לזו ובעל לזו צריכות שני גיטין. זו גט למאמרו וזו גט לביאתו:

וחליצה. לאחת מהן ופוטרת צרתה:

גט לזו ובעל לזו צריכות גט וחליצה. ואסור לקיימה דקם עליה בלא יבנה משום גט ראשון, ובגט לחודא לא נפקה בעלת ביאה, דביאה פסולה היא:

אין לאחר חליצה כלום. ואי הדר מקדש לה או לצרתה לא תפסי בה קדושין כר׳ עקיבא דאמר אין קדושין תופסין בחייבי לאוין. ואינה הלכה:

Mishnah 2

Mishnayos Yevamos Perek 5 Mishnah 5

יבמות פרק ה׳ משנה ה׳

5
If he performed ḥalitza with one yevama and then performed ḥalitza with a second yevama, or he performed ḥalitza with one yevama and then proceeded to either perform levirate betrothal, give a bill of divorce, or engage in intercourse with a second; alternatively, he engaged in intercourse with one yevama and engaged in intercourse with the second yevama, or he engaged in intercourse with one yevama and proceeded to either perform levirate betrothal, give a bill of divorce, or perform ḥalitza with the second, nothing is effective after ḥalitza or intercourse. These halakhot apply both in cases of one yavam to two yevamot, as well as two yevamin to one yevama.
חָלַץ וְחָלַץ, אוֹ חָלַץ וְעָשָׂה מַאֲמָר, נָתַן גֵּט וּבָעַל, אוֹ בָעַל וּבָעַל, אוֹ בָעַל וְעָשָׂה מַאֲמָר, נָתַן גֵּט וְחָלַץ, אֵין אַחַר חֲלִיצָה כְלוּם, בֵּין יָבָם אֶחָד לִשְׁתֵּי יְבָמוֹת, בֵּין שְׁנֵי יְבָמִין לִיבָמָה אֶחָת:
ה׳

חלץ וחלץ – he is permitted [to be married to] the relatives of the second [woman] for there is nothing after the first Halitzah any levirate connections, and Halitzah with both is nothing, for even to the priesthood, she is not invalidated. And similarly, if he performed Halitzah with the first [widow of the deceased childless brother] and made a statement [of intention of levirate marriage] with the second [widow], and similarly, if he had given a Jewish bill of divorce to this [second] one after performing Halitzah with that one, or performed an act of coition with this one after the Halitzah of that one, the act with the latter person is not worthless. [Or] if he performed an act of coition with this one first and then returned and performed an act of coition with the second, or performed an act of coition first and then made a statement [of intention of levirate marriage] with the second , or gave a Jewish bill of divorce to the second, or performed Halitzah with the second, there is nothing after an act of coition at all, and the final act is not considered, and he is permitted with the second’s [female] relatives.

אין אחר חליצה כלום – It is referring to the first clause [of the Mishnah], but regarding the concluding clause, it is necessary to state that there is nothing after an act of coition.

חלץ וחלץ. מותר בקרובות שניה, שאין אחר חליצה ראשונה שום זיקת יבמין, וחליצה בתרייתא לאו כלום היא ואפילו לכהונה אינה פסולה. וכן חלץ לזו ומאמר לזו. וכן נתן גט לזו אחר החליצה של זו. או אם בעל לזו אחר החליצה של זו אין מעשה האחרון כלום. או אם בעל תחלה וחזר ובעל לשניה. או בעל תחלה ועשה מאמר בשניה, או נתן גט לשניה או חלץ לשניה, אין אחר ביאה כלום ומעשה אחרון לא חשיב ומותר בקרובות השניה:

אין אחר חליצה כלום. ארישא קאי. ואסיפא צריך למימר אין אחר ביאה כלום:
