משנה: אָמְרוּ לָהּ מֵת בַּעֲלֵיךְ וְנִשֵּׂאת וְאַחַר כָּךְ אָמְרוּ לָהּ קַיָים הָיָה וּמֵת תֵּצֵא וְהַוְולָד הָרִאשׁוֹן מַמְזֵר וְהָאַחֲרוֹן אֵינוֹ מַמְזֵר. אָמְרוּ לָהּ מֵת בַּעֲלֵיךְ וְנִתְקַדְּשָׁה וְאַחַר כָּךְ בָּא בַעֲלָהּ מוּתֶּרֶת לַחֲזוֹר לוֹ. אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁנָּתַן לָהּ הָאַחֲרוֹן גֵּט לֹא פְסָלָהּ מִן הַכְּהוּנָּה. אֶת זוֹ דָרַשׁ רִבִּי לָעְזָר בֶּן מַתָּיא. וְאִשָּׁה גְּרוּשָׁה מֵאִישָׁהּ. וְלֹא מֵאִישׁ שֶׁאֵינוֹ אִישָׁהּ.
MISHNAH: If they told her, your husband died, and she remarried, and then they told her, he was alive but died, she must leave and the first child is a bastard, but the last is not a bastard. If they told her, your husband died; she was betrothed and after that her husband returned, she is permitted to return to him. Even though the second [husband] gave her a bill of divorce he did not disable her from priesthood. This Rebbi Eleazar ben Matthew explained, “a woman divorced from her husband,” and not a woman divorced from a non-husband.
