משנה: רִבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר יֵשׁ דְּבָרִים שֶׁהֵן כְּנוֹלָד וְאֵינָן כְּנוֹלָד וַחֲכָמִים מוֹדִין לוֹ. כֵּיצַד אָמַר קוֹנָם שֶׁאֵינִי נוֹשֶׂא פְּלֹנִית שֶׁאָבִיהָ רַע. אָמְרוּ לוֹ מֵת אוֹ שֶׁעָשָׂה תְשׁוּבָה. קוֹנָם לְבַיִת זֶה שֶׁאֵינִי נִכְנָס שֶׁהַכֶּלֶב רַע בְּתוֹכוֹ אוֹ שֶׁהַנָּחָשׁ בְּתוֹכוֹ אָמְרוּ לוֹ מֵת הַכֶּלֶב וְנֶהֱרַג הַנָּחָשׁ הֲרֵי הֵן כְּנוֹלָד וְאֵינָן כְּנוֹלָד וַחֲכָמִים מוֹדִין לוֹ.
MISHNAH: Rebbi Meïr says, there are things like changed circumstances which are not really changed circumstances, and the Sagesagree with him. How is this? He said, a qônām that I shall not marry this woman for her father is evil, and they told him that he died or that he repented; a qônām that I shall not enter this house because it has a bad dog inside, or a snake; they said to him the dog died, the snake was killed; these there are things like changed circumstances which are not changed circumstances, and the Sages agree with him.
