FOOTNOTES:

==========

(1) The case cannot be where the Bo'el's maternal brother married the woman, because he could not marry her, as the two would be brother and sister!

(2) That is, after the Bo'el had a child with his mother, his brother married her (she is the brother's niece).

(3) That is, after the Bo'el's brother married her and died, the Bo'el's uncle married her (she is his grand-niece, and his nephew's former wife).

(4) Rashi (DH Lishna Achrina) quotes another Girsa: "Since the sons of the husband become prohibited because of Eshes Av, the Bo'el also becomes prohibited because of Eshes Achi Aviv." According to the appealing Girsa change in Rashi suggested by the RASHASH (see Girsa section, #6), the sons of the husband's other brothers (that is, besides the Bo'el's sons) become Asur as Eshes Achi Av. (See Insights.)

(5) It seems that there is no need to say that this refers to a new marriage that took place later. Rather, she is an Eshes Ish merely because of the present marriage itself. His father's brother marriage to her made her Asur because of Eshes Achi ha'Av, and since his father's brother is still alive, she is forbidden because of Eshes Ish. (TOSFOS YOM TOV; TIFERES YISRAEL in Boaz #5; this is also the implication of Rashi on the Mishnah, DH v'Eshes Achiv.)

(6) She is Asur only because of one Isur (Bas Bito).

(7) When the son of the Bo'el marries his niece -- the daughter of his sister, she becomes Asur to the Bo'el as his daughter-in-law. The Rambam in Perush ha'Mishnayos suggests a more complicated scenario.

(8) The case must be when the Bo'el's maternal brother married her, because if his paternal brother married her, then his father would not be able to marry her afterwards (Rashi, DH Im Ken).

(9) That is, the Bo'el's brother married his grand-niece (the daughter of his brother's daughter), who is also the former wife of his nephew (since she was first married to the Bo'el's son).

(10) That is, the Bo'el's uncle married his great-grand-niece, who is also the former wife of his grand-nephew (see previous footnote).

(11) Tosfos (DH v'Achos Ishto) deletes from the text of the Mishnah the words "Achos Ishto," because if that case would appear in the Mishnah, then it should say that the person is Chayav seven Chata'os, and not just six. Tosfos writes that the Mishnah omits it, because the Mishnah is discussing only cases of Isurei Kolel, but only Isurei Mosif or "b'Vas Achas."

(12) That is, the Bo'el married the daughter of his son-in-law (but who is not the daughter of the Bo'el's daughter). Rashi (DH Achos Ishto) writes that the Bo'el "was still married to her" at the time that he had relations with her sister. Rashi's intention is that the case must be that the Bo'el's wife is still alive, because Achos Ishto (the sister of his wife) becomes permitted to him after the death of his wife.

(13) That is, the Bo'el's father married his great-granddaughter, who is also his son's daughter-in-law (for she was married to his son's son; see above, footnote #7). She is also his Yevamah (the former wife of his deceased brother), since the Bo'el's uncle was previously married to her (see above, footnote #10).

(14) Rashi (DH Lishna Achrina) quotes another Girsa: "Since the sons of the husband become prohibited because of Eshes Av, the Bo'el also becomes prohibited because of Eshes Achi Aviv." (See above, footnote #4, and see Insights.)

(15) That is, the Bo'el's son married his father's mother-in-law.

(16) We write the "maternal brother" so that here, too, we can apply Rebbi Yosi's words from the previous Mishnah, that if the father of the Bo'el transgressed [the prohibition of marrying his son's wife] and married this woman, he would be Chayav for Eshes Av as well (M. KORNFELD). (Therefore, the Gemara earlier mentions the Isur of Kalas Beno (marrying the wife of one's son), for it also applies in this Mishnah. The Gemara does not mention the Isur of Bas Bas Beno (his son's daughter's daughter), because it is not applicable in our Mishnah. See Rashi, DH d'Avar Mishum.)

(17) That is, the Bo'el's brother married his brother's mother-in-law, who is also the former wife of his nephew (since his nephew, the Bo'el's son, had been married to her, as above in footnote #15).

(18) That is, the Bo'el's uncle married his grand-nephew's former wife, who is also his nephew's mother-in-law (see previous footnote).

(19) See above, footnote #11. See also Shitah Mekubetzes #11.
