The following do not return home: He who built a lodge, a loggia or a verandah; He who planted four fruit-trees or five trees which are not fruit-bearing; He who took back his divorced wife. If a High Priest married a widow, or an ordinary priest married a divorcee or a haluzah, or a lay Israelite married an illegitimate or a Nethinah, or the daughter of an Israelite married an illegitimate or a Nathin, he does not return home. R. Judah says: also he who rebuilt a house upon its foundations does not return home. R. Eliezer says: also he who built a brick-house in Sharon does not return home. |

The following do not move from their place: He who built a new house and dedicated it, planted a vineyard and used its fruit, married his betrothed, or took home his brother`s childless widow; as it is said, he shall be free at home one year `at home,` this refers to his house; `shall be` refers to his vineyard; `and shall cheer his wife` refers to his wife; which he hath taken` is to include his brother`s childless widow. These do not supply water and food and repair the roads [for the army]. |
