These are subjects concerning which Beth Hillel turned and taught according to the opinion of Beth Shammai: a woman who came from the region of the sea and said: my husband died may be married again; my husband died [without issue] she must be married by her husband`s brother. This is the opinion of Beth Shammai. But Beth Hillel say: we have heard so only in the case of one who came from the harvesting. Beth Shammai said to them: it is the same thing in the case of one who came from the harvesting or who came from the olive-picking or who came from the region of the sea: they mentioned harvesting only as an actual occurrence. Then Beth` Hillel turned and taught according to Beth Shammai. Beth Shammai say: she may be married again and take her marriage portion. But Beth Hillel say: she may be married again but may not take her marriage-portion. Beth Shammai said to them: you have pronounced lawful the graver matter of a forbidden marriage, should you not pronounce lawful the lighter matter of property? Beth Hillel said to them: we have found that brothers do not inherit on her statement. Beth Shammai said to them: do we not infer it from her marriage document in which he writes for her `that if you be married to another you shall take what is written for you`? Then Beth Hillel turned and taught according to the opinion of Beth Shammai. |

But for the rightful ordering of the world his master is compelled to make him free, and he writes out a bond for half his value. Then Beth Hillel turned and taught according to the opinion of Beth Shammai |
