1)

(a)We just concluded that, were it not for "Alehah", we would have included Yibum by Achos Ishto and all the Arayos, on account of 'Ho'il v'Ishteri Ishteri'. For 'Ho'il v'Ishteri Ishteri' to apply, who would have had to marry first, his brother or himself?

(b)Even assuming that his brother married first, which other condition would need to be fulfilled for the principle to apply (and to require "Alehah" to forbid Yibum)?

(c)To which case of 'Metzora she'Ra'ah Keri' would we compare our case if he married before his brother died?

2)

(a)Alternatively, we require "Alehah" to preclude the Hekesh of Rebbi Yonah (some say of Rav Huna Brei d'Rav Yehoshua). What is the Hekesh of Rebbi Yonah? Regarding which Halachah did he say it?

(b)But how can we learn the other Arayos, where one transgresses two Lavin, from Eishes Achiv, where one transgresses only one?

(c)We compare all the Arayos to Achos Ishto (to forbid Yibum - rather than to Eishes Achiv, to permit it), for one of two reasons, one of them is because whenever we have such an option, we always compare l'Chumra. What is the other one?

3)

(a)According to Rava, we do not need "Alehah" to preclude Achos Ishto and the other Arayos from Yibum. Why not?

(b)Then what does he learn from "Alehah"?

(c)How does Rava explain the words of ...

1. ... the Tana in the Beraisa 'Ein Li Ela Hi' and 'Ein Li Ela Hen' (implying that the Arayos themselves are a Chidush)?

2. ... Rebbi in another Beraisa, who requires a Pasuk 'Le'esor Tzaros va'Arayos'?

(d)But Rebbi himself quotes two Pesukim! According to Rava, what does he learn from ...

1. ... "u'Lekachah"?

2. ... "v'Yibmah"?

4)

(a)What does Rav Ashi prove from our Mishnah, which says 'Chamesh-Esrei Nashim Potros Tzaroseihen', but does not say 'Peturos'?

(b)What is the problem with Rava's distinction between Ervah and Tzaras Ervah (bearing in mind that the Torah writes "li'Tzeror")?

(c)How does Rav Acha bar Bibi subsequently explain Rava? How does he interpret "Alehah"?

5)

(a)How do we initially resolve Rami bar Chama's query as to why Rava does not learn from "Alehah" that when there is no Mitzvah of Yibum, the Ervah herself should be permitted?

(b)What is the snag with this answer?

(c)Why can we not learn that Achos Ishto (and the other Arayos) are forbidden even when there is no Mitzvah of Yibum, from "b'Chayehah"?

(d)But don't we know that already from "v'Ishah el Achosah"?

6)

(a)Rav Huna bar Tachlifo in the name of Rava finally learns that the Arayos are forbidden when there is no Mitzvah of Yibum, from the combination of the two Pesukim "Ishah el Achosah Lo Sikach" and "l'Galos Ervasah". How do these Pesukim appear to contradict each other?

(b)How does he reconcile them?

(c)Why can we not say the reverse (to forbid both when there is no Mitzvah of Yibum, and permit the Tzarah when there is)?

(d)Why can we not say that "Ishah el Achosah Lo Sikach li'Tzeror" comes to forbid both the Ervah and the Tzarah when there is no Mitzvah, and "Alehah", to permit both the Ervah and the Tzarah when there is?

7)

(a)Rebbi learns Tzaras Ervah, from "v'Lakach u'Lekachah", "v'Yibem, v'Yibmah" (as we explained earlier). We query this on two scores. Firstly, where is Tzaros hinted in these Pesukim. What is the second problem with Rebbi's new Derashah?

(b)To answer the second Kashya, we establish Rebbi like Rebbi Shimon, in Perek Arba'ah Achim. What does the Tana Kama there say about three brothers, two of whom married two sisters or a woman and her daughter, who both died and the two women fell before the Yavam?

(c)What does Rebbi Shimon hold, based on "li'Tzeror"?

8)

(a)In answer to the first Kashya, how does Rebbi extrapolate Tzaros from "v'Lakach u'Lekachah"?

(b)How does he then go on to explain "v'Yibem, v'Yibmah"?

9)

(a)The Rabanan (who learn the above from "Alehah") explain "u'Lekachah" like Rebbi Yosi b'Rebbi Chanina, who Darshens from there that Yibum makes her a proper wife, whom he may later divorce and then remarry'. What would we otherwise have thought?

(b)What do they Darshen from "v'Yibmah"?

(c)Rebbi learns Rebbi Yosi b'Rebbi Chanina's Din from "u'Lekachah Lo l'Ishah". What does he learn from "Yevamah Yavo Alehah"?

(d)What are the ramifications of 'Im Ba Alehah Ba'al Korchah, Kan'ah' (apart from the fact that he has fulfilled the Mitzvah of Yibum)?
