בֶּן תֵּשַׁע שָׁנִים וְיוֹם אֶחָד שֶׁבָּא עַל יְבִמְתּוֹ, וּמִשֶּׁהִגְדִּיל נָשָׂא אִשָּׁה אַחֶרֶת וּמֵת, אִם לֹא יָדַע אֶת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה מִשֶּׁהִגְדִּיל, הָרִאשׁוֹנָה חוֹלֶצֶת וְלֹא מִתְיַבֶּמֶת, וְהַשְּׁנִיָּה אוֹ חוֹלֶצֶת אוֹ מִתְיַבֶּמֶת. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, מְיַבֵּם לְאֵיזוֹ שֶׁיִּרְצֶה, וְחוֹלֵץ לַשְּׁנִיָּה. אֶחָד שֶׁהוּא בֶן תֵּשַׁע שָׁנִים וְיוֹם אֶחָד, וְאֶחָד שֶׁהוּא בֶן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה שֶׁלֹּא הֵבִיא שְׁתֵּי שְׂעָרוֹת:

If one (a yavam) of nine years and one day cohabited with his yevamah, and when he came of age, he married another woman and died — if he did not cohabit with the first from the time he came of age, the first receives chalitzah and is not taken in yibum, [for the linkage of two yavmin is upon her. Since he did not cohabit with her when he came of age, she did not satisfy the first falling (for yibum).], and the second either receives chalitzah or is taken in yibum. R. Shimon says: He takes whichever he wishes in yibum, [the linkage of two yavmin not obtaining according to R. Shimon (And thus do we find it in 3:9)], and he gives chalitzah to the second. [For (it may be that) they are not tzaroth for one to be exempt by the yibum of the other. And he cannot take both in yibum either. Since she is her tzarah by partial ma'amar according to the rabbis, the impression is given of two yevamoth coming from one house.] Both one who is nine years and a day, and one who is twenty years and has not brought two (pubic) hairs [are alike in respect to all that is stated above. For so long as he has not brought two hairs, he is a minor, until he reaches the age of thirty-five. And if he reaches that age without having brought two hairs, even though the aforementioned signs of a saris (8:4) are not observable in him, he is regarded as a seris-chammah.]
