וְהָיָ֗ה הַבְּכוֹר֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תֵּלֵ֔ד יָק֕וּם עַל־שֵׁ֥ם אָחִ֖יו הַמֵּ֑ת וְלֹֽא־יִמָּחֶ֥ה שְׁמ֖וֹ מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

TT lemma: אֲשֶׁר תֵּלֵד.

Sefaria

Core Text of Chazal

אֲשֶׁר תֵּלֵד – פְּרָט לְאַיְלוֹנִית שֶׁאֵינָהּ יוֹלֶדֶת.

English: “That she bears” — excluding an aylonit (a woman who cannot bear children).

On the daf / in context: Even though the main derashah of “the firstborn” is applied to the yavam, the language “that she bears” is also used to exclude a woman incapable of childbirth from the laws of yibbum and chalitzah.

Type of Learning

Mi’ut excluding the aylonit.

What Is Learned

An aylonit is exempt from yibbum and chalitzah; the act has no legal effect for her.
