אבל אם שמע וקיים או ששמע ושתק ומת ביום שלאחריו אין יכול להפר

but if he heard and confirmed it, or heard it and was silent, and died on the following day,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Having thus ipso facto confirmed it. ');"><sup>1</sup></span> he [the father] cannot annul it.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Once the husband has confirmed, the father cannot annul it, even after the former's death. ');"><sup>2</sup></span>

שמע אביה והפר לה ולא הספיק בעל לשמוע עד שמת האב זו היא ששנינו מת האב לא נתרוקנה רשות לבעל שמע בעלה והפר לה ולא הספיק האב לשמוע עד שמת הבעל זו היא ששנינו מת הבעל נתרוקנה רשות לאב

If the father heard and annulled it, and died before the husband managed to hear of it, — this is what we learnt: If the father died, his authority does not pass over to the husband.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Infra 70a. With his death his annulment is void, and the husband is not empowered to nullify the vow himself, though in the reverse case the father could do so. ');"><sup>3</sup></span> If the husband heard and annulled it, and died before the father managed to hear of it, — in this case we learnt: If the husband died, his authority passes over to the father.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The first clause of the Mishnah means that the father heard it before the husband's death; this clause, that the husband died before the father heard it. Now I might think that only if he had heard it in the husband's lifetime, and so could have annulled it together with him, does he inherit his authority, but if he had not heard of it in her husband's lifetime, his authority is not transmitted. Therefore this clause teaches otherwise, ');"><sup>4</sup></span>

שמע בעלה והפר לה ולא הספיק האב לשמוע עד שמת אין הבעל יכול להפר שאין הבעל מיפר אלא בשותפות

If the husband heard and annulled it, and the father died before he managed to hear of it, the husband cannot annul it,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., act in lieu of her father. ');"><sup>5</sup></span> because the husband can annul only in partnership.
