משנה: שְׁלֹשָׁה אַחִין שְׁנַיִם מֵהֶן נְשׂוּאִין שְׁתֵּי אֲחָיוֹת וְאֶחָד נָשׂוּי נָכְרִית. מֵת הַנָּשׂוּי נָכְרִית וְכָנַס אֶחָד מִבַּעֲלֵי אֲחָיוֹת אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ וָמֵת. רִאשׁוֹנָה יוֹצֵאת מִשּׁוּם אֲחוֹת אִשְׁתּוֹ וּשְׁנִיָיה מִשּׁוּם צָרָתָהּ. עָשָׂה בָהּ מַאֲמָר וָמֵת נָכְרִית חוֹלֶצֶת וְלֹא מִתְיַיבֶּמֶת.

MISHNAH: Of three brothers, two are married to two sisters and one to an unrelated woman. The husband of the unrelated died, one of the sisters’ husbands married his widow, and died. His first [wife] leaves as his wife’s sister, the second one as her co-wife. If he had “bespoken” her, the unrelated woman performs ḥalîṣah but cannot have levirate.
