Toseftá sobre Gênesis 9:6

She whose husband is elderly, or infirm, or her husband was incarcerated in prison, or her husband traveled overseas, these [time periods] are not included in the count. A divorcee should go and marry another, lest she did not merit to bear children from him. And up to how many is she permitted to marry? Up to three. More than that, she should only marry someone who [already] has a wife and children. If she married someone who has no wife or children, she goes out without her ketubah, because her marriage was entered into in error. § Rabbi Akiva says, whoever spills blood, behold, that person causes the image [of God] to be diminished, as it is said (Gen. 9:6), "One who sheds a man's blood, by a man his blood shall be shed, [for God made man in His image]." Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah says, anyone who does not occupy himself with [fulfilling the commandment of] "be fruitful and multiply," behold, he is a spiller of blood, and causes the image [of God] to be diminished, as it is said (Gen. 9:6-7), "for God made man in His image / And as for you, be fruitful and multiply." Ben Azzai says, anyone who does not occupy himself in "be fruitful and multiply," behold, he is a spiller of blood, and causes the image [of God] to be diminished, as it is said, "for in the image of God did He make man," and it is written, "And as for you, be fruitful and multiply, etc." Said to him Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah, beautiful are the words that flow from the mouth of one who sustains (i.e., fulfills) them. There are those who expound with beauty but do not sustain [their words] with beauty, and there are those who sustain with beauty but do not expound with beauty. Ben Azzai is one who expounds with beauty but who does not sustain with beauty (i.e., he has no children). He said to him: What should I do? My soul's desire is for the Torah, and let the world sustain itself through others.
