Mishnah 1א׳

נוֹשְׂאִין עַל הָאֲנוּסָה וְעַל הַמְפֻתָּה. הָאוֹנֵס וְהַמְפַתֶּה עַל הַנְּשׂוּאָה, חַיָּב. נוֹשֵׂא אָדָם אֲנוּסַת אָבִיו וּמְפֻתַּת אָבִיו, אֲנוּסַת בְּנוֹ וּמְפֻתַּת בְּנוֹ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹסֵר בַּאֲנוּסַת אָבִיו וּמְפֻתַּת אָבִיו:

One may marry [the relatives of] a woman he has violated or has seduced; but one who violates or seduces [the relatives] of his married woman [that is, his wife] is liable. One may marry a woman who has been violated by his father or seduced by his father, or a woman who has been violated by his son or seduced by his son. Rabbi Yehudah forbids one [to marry] a woman who has been violated by his father or seduced by his father.

Mishnah 2ב׳

הַגִּיּוֹרֶת שֶׁנִּתְגַּיְּרוּ בָנֶיהָ עִמָּהּ, לֹא חוֹלְצִין וְלֹא מְיַבְּמִין, אֲפִלּוּ הוֹרָתוֹ שֶׁל רִאשׁוֹן שֶׁלֹּא בִקְדֻשָּׁה וְלֵדָתוֹ בִקְדֻשָּׁה, וְהַשֵּׁנִי הוֹרָתוֹ וְלֵדָתוֹ בִקְדֻשָּׁה. וְכֵן שִׁפְחָה שֶׁנִּשְׁתַּחְרְרוּ בָנֶיהָ עִמָּהּ:

[If] the sons of a female convert converted with her [and one marries and then dies] they do not undergo Chalitzah [the ceremony releasing the widow of a childless man from the obligation of Levirate marriage] nor do they perform Yibum [Levirate marriage wherein a man weds his childless brother's widow]. [This is so] even if the conception of the first [son took place] not in sanctity [before the mother's conversion] but his birth [took place] in sanctity [after her conversion], and the conception and birth of the second one took place in sanctity. [The law is] similar with a maidservant who was freed along with her sons.

Mishnah 3ג׳

חָמֵשׁ נָשִׁים שֶׁנִּתְעָרְבוּ וַלְדוֹתֵיהֶן, הִגְדִּילוּ הַתַּעֲרֹבוֹת וְנָשְׂאוּ נָשִׁים וּמֵתוּ, אַרְבָּעָה חוֹלְצִין לְאַחַת, וְאֶחָד מְיַבֵּם אוֹתָהּ. הוּא וּשְׁלשָׁה חוֹלְצִים לְאַחֶרֶת, וְאֶחָד מְיַבֵּם. נִמְצְאוּ אַרְבַּע חֲלִיצוֹת וְיִבּוּם לְכָל אַחַת וְאֶחָת:

[If] the sons of five women [each of whom has an additional son] become mixed up [making their maternity unknown] and they attained majority [remaining] mixed up, and they married wives and died, four [of the surviving sons] undergo Chalitzah from one [Yevama] and one performs Yibum. He [the one who performed Yibum] and three others undergo Chalitzah from a different [second widow] and one performs Yibum. What emerges is four acts of Chalitzah and one act of Yibum for each one [woman].

Mishnah 4ד׳

הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁנִּתְעָרֵב וְלָדָהּ בִּוְלַד כַּלָּתָהּ, הִגְדִּילוּ הַתַּעֲרֹבוֹת, וְנָשְׂאוּ נָשִׁים, וּמֵתוּ, בְּנֵי הַכַּלָּה חוֹלְצִין וְלֹא מְיַבְּמִין, שֶׁהוּא סְפֵק אֵשֶׁת אָחִיו סְפֵק אֵשֶׁת אֲחִי אָבִיו. וּבְנֵי הַזְּקֵנָה, אוֹ חוֹלְצִין אוֹ מְיַבְּמִין, שֶׁהוּא סְפֵק אֵשֶׁת אָחִיו וְאֵשֶׁת בֶּן אָחִיו. מֵתוּ הַכְּשֵׁרִים, בְּנֵי הַתַּעֲרֹבוֹת לִבְנֵי הַזְּקֵנָה חוֹלְצִין וְלֹא מְיַבְּמִין, שֶׁהוּא סְפֵק אֵשֶׁת אָחִיו וְאֵשֶׁת אֲחִי אָבִיו, וּבְנֵי הַכַּלָּה, אֶחָד חוֹלֵץ וְאֶחָד מְיַבֵּם:

[If] the son of a woman becomes mixed up with her daughter-in-law's son [and each woman has other sons] and they attained majority [remaining] mixed up, and they married and died, the [other] sons of the daughter-in-law undergo Chalitzah but do not perform Yibum since there is doubt whether she [each Yevama] is the wife of his brother or the wife of his father's brother. And the [other] sons of the grandmother either undergo Chalitzah or perform Yibum since there is doubt whether she [each Yevama] is the wife of his brother or the wife of his brother's son. [If] the fit [certain] sons die, the mixed up sons undergo Chalitzah from [the wives of] the grandmother's sons but do not perform Yibum since there is doubt whether she [each Yevama] is the wife of his brother or the wife of his father's brother, and [with regard to] the daughter-in-law's sons - one undergoes Chalitzah and one performs Yibum.

Mishnah 5ה׳

כֹּהֶנֶת שֶׁנִּתְעָרֵב וְלָדָּהּ בִּוְלַד שִׁפְחָתָהּ, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ אוֹכְלִים בַּתְּרוּמָה, וְחוֹלְקִים חֵלֶק אֶחָד בַּגֹּרֶן, וְאֵינָן מִטַּמְּאִין לְמֵתִים, וְאֵין נוֹשְׂאִין נָשִׁים, בֵּין כְּשֵׁרוֹת בֵּין פְּסוּלוֹת. הִגְדִּילוּ הַתַּעֲרֹבוֹת, וְשִׁחְרְרוּ זֶה אֶת זֶה, נוֹשְׂאִין נָשִׁים רְאוּיוֹת לַכְּהֻנָּה, וְאֵינָן מִטַּמְּאִין לְמֵתִים. וְאִם נִטְמְאוּ, אֵינָן סוֹפְגִין אֶת הָאַרְבָּעִים. וְאֵינָן אוֹכְלִים בַּתְּרוּמָה. וְאִם אָכְלוּ, אֵינָן מְשַׁלְּמִין קֶרֶן וָחֹמֶשׁ. וְאֵינָן חוֹלְקִין עַל הַגֹּרֶן. וּמוֹכְרִין אֶת הַתְּרוּמָה, וְהַדָּמִים שֶׁלָּהֶם. וְאֵינָן חוֹלְקִים בְּקָדְשֵׁי הַמִּקְדָּשׁ, וְאֵין נוֹתְנִין לָהֶם קָדָשִׁים, וְאֵין מוֹצִיאִין שֶׁלָּהֶם מִיָּדָם, וּפְטוּרִין מִן הַזְּרֹעַ וּמִן הַלְּחָיַיִם וּמִן הַקֵּבָה, וּבְכוֹרוֹ יְהֵא רוֹעֶה עַד שֶׁיִּסְתָּאֵב, וְנוֹתְנִין עָלָיו חֻמְרֵי כֹהֲנִים וְחֻמְרֵי יִשְׂרְאֵלִים:

[If] the son of a woman [married to a] priest becomes mixed up with the son of her maidservant, they [both] may eat Terumah [a portion of a crop given to a priest which becomes holy upon separation and may only be consumed by priests and their households], and they receive one share [of Terumah] at the threshing floor, and they may not become impure [through contact] with a corpse, and they may not marry women - either those eligible [to marry priests] or those ineligible [to marry priests]. [If] they attained majority [remaining] mixed up and freed each other, they may marry women fit [to marry into] the priesthood, and they may not become impure with a corpse - but if they do become impure with a corpse they do not endure the forty [lashes]. And they may not eat Terumah, but if they do they do not repay the principal or the fifth. And they do not receive a share [of Terumah] at the threshing floor, and they sell the Terumah [from their own crops to certain priests] and keep the revenue themselves. And they do not receive a share from the consecrated Temple items, nor do they give them consecrated things, and they do not take away their [sacrifices] from them, and they are exempt from the shoulder, and the cheeks and the maw [donations given to priests]. And his [each of their] firstborn [animals] grazes until it becomes blemished. Stringencies of priests and stringencies of Israelites are placed upon them.

Mishnah 6ו׳

מִי שֶׁלֹּא שָׁהֲתָה אַחַר בַּעְלָה שְׁלֹשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים וְנִשֵּׂאת, וְיָלְדָה, וְאֵין יָדוּעַ אִם בֶּן תִּשְׁעָה לָרִאשׁוֹן אִם בֶּן שִׁבְעָה לָאַחֲרוֹן. הָיוּ לָהּ בָּנִים מִן הָרִאשׁוֹן וּבָנִים מִן הַשֵּׁנִי, חוֹלְצִין וְלֹא מְיַבְּמִין. וְכֵן הוּא לָהֶם, חוֹלֵץ וְלֹא מְיַבֵּם. הָיוּ לוֹ אַחִים מִן הָרִאשׁוֹן וְאַחִים מִן הַשֵּׁנִי שֶׁלֹּא מֵאוֹתָהּ הָאֵם, הוּא חוֹלֵץ וּמְיַבֵּם, וְהֵם, אֶחָד חוֹלֵץ וְאֶחָד מְיַבֵּם:

[If] a woman did not wait three months [to re-marry] after [the death of or divorce from] her husband, and bears a child, and it is uncertain whether the child was born [after] nine months from the first [husband], or [after] seven months from the second [lit. last husband, and the uncertain son married and died]: [If] she had sons from the first [husband] and sons from the second [husband], they [one from each group] undergo Chalitzah but do not perform Yibum. Similarly does he act for them [if one of the certain sons dies and the uncertain one survives] - he undergoes Chalitzah but does not perform Yibum. If he [the uncertain son] has brothers from the first [husband] and brothers from the second [husband] who are not from the same mother, he undergoes Chalitzah or performs Yibum, and [if he dies] one of them undergoes Chalitzah and one performs Yibum.

Mishnah 7ז׳

הָיָה אֶחָד יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאֶחָד כֹּהֵן, נוֹשֵׂא אִשָּׁה רְאוּיָה לְכֹהֵן, וְאֵינוֹ מִטַּמֵּא לְמֵתִים, וְאִם נִטְמָא, אֵינוֹ סוֹפֵג אֶת הָאַרְבָּעִים. וְאֵינוֹ אוֹכֵל בַּתְּרוּמָה, וְאִם אָכַל, אֵינוֹ מְשַׁלֵּם קֶרֶן וָחֹמֶשׁ. וְאֵינוֹ חוֹלֵק עַל הַגֹּרֶן. וּמוֹכֵר הַתְּרוּמָה, וְהַדָּמִים שֶׁלּוֹ. וְאֵינוֹ חוֹלֵק בְּקָדְשֵׁי הַמִּקְדָּשׁ, וְאֵין נוֹתְנִים לוֹ אֶת הַקָּדָשִׁים, וְאֵין מוֹצִיאִין אֶת שֶׁלּוֹ מִיָּדוֹ. וּפָטוּר מִן הַזְּרֹעַ וְהַלְּחָיַיִם וְהַקֵּבָה. וּבְכוֹרוֹ יְהֵא רוֹעֶה עַד שֶׁיִּסְתָּאֵב. וְנוֹתְנִין עָלָיו חֻמְרֵי כֹהֲנִים וְחֻמְרֵי יִשְׂרְאֵלִים. הָיוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם כֹּהֲנִים, הוּא אוֹנֵן עֲלֵיהֶם, וְהֵם אוֹנְנִים עָלָיו. הוּא אֵינוֹ מִטַּמֵּא לָהֶם, וְהֵם אֵינָן מִטַּמְּאִין לוֹ. הוּא אֵינוֹ יוֹרֵשׁ אוֹתָן, אֲבָל הֵם יוֹרְשִׁין אוֹתוֹ. וּפָטוּר עַל מַכָּתוֹ וְעַל קִלְלָתוֹ שֶׁל זֶה וְשֶׁל זֶה, וְעוֹלֶה בְמִשְׁמָרוֹ שֶׁל זֶה וְשֶׁל זֶה, וְאֵינוֹ חוֹלֵק. אִם הָיוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם בְּמִשְׁמָר אֶחָד, נוֹטֵל חֵלֶק אֶחָד:

[If] one [of the two husbands of the woman with the uncertain child] is an Israelite and the other is a priest, the [uncertain] son may [only] marry a wife eligible for a priest. He may not become impure through [contact with] a corpse, but if he does become impure he does not endure the forty [lashes], and he may not eat Terumah, but if he does he does not repay the principal or the fifth. And he does not receive a share [of Terumah] at the threshing floor, and he sells the Terumah [from his own crops to certain priests] and keeps the revenue himself. And he does not receive a share from the consecrated Temple items, nor does he give them consecrated things, and they do not take away his [sacrifices] from him, and he is exempt from the shoulder, and the cheeks, and the maw [donations given to priests]. And his firstborn [animal] grazes until it becomes blemished. And stringencies of priests and stringencies of Israelites are placed upon him. [If] both [husbands] are priests, he [the uncertain son] has the status of an Onen [a person whose close relative has died but has not yet been buried] for them [if they die] and they have the status of an Onen for him [if he dies]. He may not become impure for them and they may not become impure for him. He does not inherit from them but they do inherit from him. He is exempt if he strikes either one or if he curses either one. And he participates in the priestly shift of this one and the priestly shift of this one. And he does not share [in either shift's portions], but if both [uncertain fathers] are in the same shift he does receive a portion.
