Reference for Yevamot 109:22
העראה דחייבי לאוין מנלן
it might have been assumed to refer to children born before the offence<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The expression shall be childless would have been taken to imply that the children born prior to the offence would die as a result of the offence. The parents, however, would not die childless because the children born after the offence would live. ');"><sup>49</sup></span> but not to those born subsequent to the offence,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Who would live. V. supra note 5. ');"><sup>50</sup></span> hence the All Merciful wrote, <i>They shall die childless</i>.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid. 20. ');"><sup>47</sup></span>
