  הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁהִיא יוֹצְאָה לֵהָרֵג, אֵין מַמְתִּינִין לָהּ עַד שֶׁתֵּלֵד; יָשְׁבָה עַל הַמַּשְׁבֵּר, מַמְתִּינִין לָהּ עַד שֶׁתֵּלֵד.
  Ha'ishá shehí yots'á leharég, éin mamtinín láh ad sheteléd; yashvá al hamashbér, mamtinín láh ad sheteléd.
  If a pregnant woman is brought to execution, the court will not wait for her to give birth; if she is already on the birthing chair, the court will wait.
