Mishnah for Bekhorot 60:61
מעשה באשה אחת שנשאת לחבר והיתה קומעת לו תפילין על ידו נשאת לעם הארץ והיתה קושרת לו קשרי מוכס על ידו:
Our Rabbis taught: The wife of an 'am ha-arez who was married to a haber, likewise a daughter of an 'am ha-arez who was married to a haber, and similarly the slave of an 'am ha-arez who was sold to a haber - all of these must first<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Before we can receive them as haberim.');"><sup>30</sup></span> accept the obligations of a haber.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And although it is stated above that the members of the family are not required to accept the obligations of a haber, the case is different here because when acceptance took place the wife, daughter and slave were not with him and there is, consequently, the fear that earlier habits may still influence their conduct.');"><sup>31</sup></span> But the wife of a haber who was married to an 'am ha-arez, likewise the daughter of a haber who was married to an 'am ha-arez and similarly the slave of a haber who was sold to an 'am ha-arez, need not first accept the obligations of a haber.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If they return to the sphere of the haber.');"><sup>32</sup></span> R'Simeon B'Eleazar says: Even the latter require first to accept the obligations of a haber. For R'Simeon B'Eleazar reported in the name of R'Meir: It happened with a certain woman who was married to a haber that she fastened the straps of the tefillin [phylacteries] on his hand and when afterwards married to a publican, she knotted the custom seals for him.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' We see therefore that even a wife originally of a haber can alter her habits in a changed environment and the same applies to a slave, etc.');"><sup>33</sup></span>
