**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
מאמר – the explanation he betrothed her with money (as opposed to a document or an act of sexual intercourse) and with a Yevamah/widow of his deceased brother who died without issue, betrothal thorugh money is not a complete Kiddushin/betrothal, but rather, from the words of the Scribes/Soferim, the Yevamah is not acquired to the levir to become like a completely married woman until he comes upon her and he didn’t have sufficient time to marry her until he died.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
מיבם לאיזו שירצה – and she exempts her [co-wife] colleague, and this does not refer to performing a statement of intention [of levirate marriage] , but rather, it refers to the first clause [of the Mishnah], as it is taught, the first is prohibited, etc. and as Rabbi Shimon states for since he was born, she had already had a levirate marriage performed on her and she did not have on this one the levirate relation through the marriage of his first brother ever, she is permitted to him, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
לא חולצת ולא מתיבמת – her rival/co-wife and all the more so she herself, and similarly, a barren woman, as it is written (Deuteronomy 25:6): “[The first son] that she bears [shall be accounted to the dead brother that his name not be blotted out in Israel],” excluding a barren woman [ and similarly, the wife of a eunuch born without visible testicles and an androgynous individual does not engage in Halitzah nor levirate marriage, as it states ( there -Deuteronomy 25:5): “[When brothers dwell together and one of them lies] and leaves no son, [the wife of the deceased shall not be married to a stranger, outside the family],” excluding those for whom it is inappropriate for them to have children, and the wife of a convert and the wife of a freed slave does not engage in Halitzah nor levirate marriage, for there is no legal status of consanguinity neither for converts nor slaves, but a barren woman and an elderly women either engages in Halitzah or levirate marriage.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
אחותה – [her sister] who is a woman forbidden to a man on account of consanguinity when she is [also] her sister-in-law [widow of her childless brother-in-law] such as, for example, when two sisters fell to him from his two brothers and the one is prohibited upon him because of consanguinity such as when she is his mother-in-law or daughter-in-law, she performs Halitzah or levirate marriage but now did not come in contact with the sister of his levirate relation because someone forbidden on account of consanguinity is not his levirate relation.

שניות – [secondary grade of forbidden relationships seen as incestuous] – forbidden incestuous or adulterous sexual relationships that the Scribes/Soferim decreed upon them which are called prohibitions resulting from a Mitzvah (i.e., based upon the Mitzvah not to deviate from the rulings of the Sages – see Deuteronomy 17:11), for it is a Mitzvah to hearken to the words of the Sages, and which are they? The mother of his mother, and there is no limitation but if it is the father of his mother alone, and the mother of his father, and it has no limitation [and if the father of his father] and the wife of his father’s father, and it has no limitation, and the wife of his mother’s father alone, and the wife of his brother’s father from the mother, and the wife of his mother’s brother, whether from the mother or whether from the father and there is no limitation, and daughter-in-law of his daughter, and the daughter of his son’s daughter and the daughter of the daughter’s daughter and the daughter of’s his son’s son and the daughter of his son’s daughter, and the daughter [of the daughter] of the son of his wife, and the daughter [of the daughter] of his wife’s daughter, and the mother of the mother of his father’s wife, and the mother of [the mother] of his wife’s mother, and the father of the mother of his wife’s mother, and the mother of the father of his father’s wife.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
גרושה וחלוצה לכהן הדיוט – such as, for example, that he (i.e., as a Kohen) transgressed his dead brother and had married a divorcee or a woman who had undergone Halitzah, and when he died, she needs Halitzah for Kiddushin/betrothal takes effect in those liable for violating negative commandments, but not levirate marriage, for she is prohibited to him, but to exempt/free her without anything is impossible, for it is not strong to release her, for we derive “her” from the wife’s sister, which is punishable by extirpation.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
שפחה נכרית – her offspring we got after her, as it is written regarding the maidservant (Exodus 21:4): “[If his master gave him a wife, and she has borne him children,] the wife and her children shall belong to the master, [and he shall leave alone],” but regarding a heathen woman, it is written (Deuteronomy 7:4): “For they (literally, “he) will turn your children away from Me [to worship other gods],” since it is not written, “for you will turn [your children] away,” we learn from it - this is what he said (Deuteronomy 7:4): “Do not give your daughters to their sons” – for the husband of your daughter will turn aside the son that your daughter will give birth to him away from Me. But regarding “or take their daughters for your sons” (Deuteronomy 7:3), we are not zealous in religious observance, for a child that comes from the heathen woman is not called your son, but rather, her son.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
חולץ לשתיהן – because she is the sister of the woman engaged in Halitzah, and she is prohibited to him [during her lifetime] according to the Rabbis, but also not to perform levirate marriage in the first clause. For perhaps this is not his widow of the deceased husband who died without issue, and when he came in contact with the sister of his levirate relation, it is like she is his wife.

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
היו לו שנים אחד חולץ – at first to the first [woman] and the second, if he wants to engage in levirate marriage with the second, he does so, for if this [one] is his deceased brother’s widow, fine, and if she is her sister, he did not approach the sister of his levirate relation because Halitzah for that one removes her from being a levirate relation.

אין מוציאין אותן מידם – that we don’t remove them from their hands because each one said I am best to marry; alternatively, it is the opposite, that the first who performed a levirate marriage, married the sister of his levirate relation, at that hour he performed a prohibited action and when his brother came and performed a levirate marriage with the second, who is the widow of the deceased brother who died without issue, her levirate relationship has ceased retroactively from the other one.

היחיד חולץ לשתיהן – for it is impossible for him to perform levirate marriage not prior to the Halitzah of the second because of [the prohibition of] the sister of his levirate relation, but not after Halitzah because of the sister of the woman undergoing Halitzah; therefore, since it is prohibited to perform levirate marriage, he should perform Halitzah to both of them in order to remove her [i.e., the woman] who is his Yevamah /widow of her deceased husband who died without issue from the prohibition of a woman who is the widow of a deceased husband who died without issue from the general public.

ואם קדמו – these latter two [brothers] and married after the Halitzah of the two other [women] and they did not come to take council with the Jewish court, we don’t remove them from their hands as we have explained, for here is nothing here other than a doubtful prohibition of the sister of one’s levirate relation om the first marriage, and one can state that the first that married his sister-in-law and it is well tha the married, and the latter, also did well by marrying strange (i.e., unattached) woman, or alternatively, if if they married in reverse, that the father-in-law came in contact with the sister of his levirate relation and since he second [brother] came and performed levirate marriage, her levirate connection has been severed from his brother and she is permitted to him as his wife, but the prohibition that he performed was performed.

And specifically one who is suspected [of having intercourse] with a married woman, but one who is suspected [of having intercourse] with a free/unattached woman, it appears that it is Mitzvah to marry [her] as we find concerning rape (Deuteronomy 22:19): “Moreover, she shall remain is wife; [he shall never have the right to divorce her].”
