Mishnah 1א׳

רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, אֵין גֵּט אַחַר גֵּט, וְלֹא מַאֲמָר אַחַר מַאֲמָר, וְלֹא בְעִילָה אַחַר בְּעִילָה, וְלֹא חֲלִיצָה אַחַר חֲלִיצָה. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, יֵשׁ גֵּט אַחַר גֵּט, וְיֵשׁ מַאֲמָר אַחַר מַאֲמָר, אֲבָל לֹא אַחַר בְּעִילָה וְלֹא אַחַר חֲלִיצָה כְּלוּם:

R. Gamliel says: There is no get after a get. [Two yevamoth to one yavam from one brother. If he gave a get to the first one and then to the second one, the kin of the second are not forbidden to him as the kin of his divorcée. For when he gave a get to the first one, the linkage of both of them to him was dissolved. For a get avails with a yevamah to render him (the giver) "who would not build his brother's house," so that neither he nor the other brothers can take her in yibum — neither her nor her tzarah. Therefore, if he gives a second get to the second one, his act is meaningless. It is as if he were to give a get to a strange woman. The same applies to two yavmin, each of whom gave one yevamah a get. The get of the latter is meaningless and he is permitted to marry her kin.] And there is no ma'amar after a ma'amar, [both with two yavmin to one yevamah, and one yavam to two yevamoth. The second ma'amar is meaningless. She does not require a get from him, and he is permitted to her kin.] And there is no chalitzah after chalitzah. The sages say: There is a get after a get. [The first does not completely dissolve the linkage; for she requires chalitzah. Therefore, there is still partial linkage, and the second get avails to render the second one his divorcée and to forbid her kin to him. And this is the halachah.] And there is a ma'amar after a ma'amar. But there is nothing after cohabitation and after chalitzah.

Mishnah 2ב׳

כֵּיצַד. עָשָׂה מַאֲמָר בִּיבִמְתּוֹ, וְנָתַן לָהּ גֵּט, צְרִיכָה הֵימֶנּוּ חֲלִיצָה. עָשָׂה מַאֲמָר וַחֲלִיצָה, צְרִיכָה הֵימֶנּוּ גֵט. עָשָׂה מַאֲמָר וּבָעַל, הֲרֵי זוֹ כְמִצְוָתָהּ:

How? [This does not refer to the previous dispute, but is an independent statement referring to one yavam and one yevamah, viz.: How (i.e., What) is the halachah in the instance of one yavam and one yevamah? If he made a ma'amar in his yevamah and gave her a get, she requires chalitzah from him. And if he wishes to wed her, he may not do so; for since he began to divorce her, "who would not build his brother's house" obtains.] If he made a ma'amar and chalitzah, she requires a get from him. [For chalitzah dissolves the (yibum) linkage, and the get is required to dissolve her betrothal, chalitzah not dissolving betrothal.] If he made a ma'amar and cohabited with her, this is in keeping with the mitzvah.
