and if the order in which the two were delivered is unclear, only one divorce is counted.

Section
If he first suspends the divorce on the occurrence of a divorce and thereafter suspends it on her standing, or he suspends it on her standing first¹ and then on the occurrence of a divorce, and she does in fact stand, two divorces take effect in either case. If, however, he makes it contingent first on her standing and then specifically on his divorcing her, and she stands, only a single divorce results.

If he says, “Whenever I divorce you,” or “Whenever my divorce takes effect upon you, you are divorced,” and the condition materializes, she is divorced twice on the first occasion and three times on the second.

Section
If he says, “Should I swear by divorcing you, you are divorced,” and then says, “You are divorced if you stand,” she is divorced immediately. This would not apply had he instead suspended it on sunrise or the like, because that would be a condition, not an oath.

If he says, “If I swear by divorcing you, you are divorced,” or “If I speak to you, you are divorced,” and he repeats the wording once, she is divorced once; if twice, then twice; if three times, then three times.

Section
If he says, “If I speak to you, you are divorced—so take note,” or he says to her, “Move aside,” or “Be silent,” she is divorced, for those words constitute his speaking to her. And if he declares, “If I am the one who begins speaking to you, you are divorced,” whereupon she responds, “If I begin speaking, my slave is free,” his oath is deemed dissolved—unless he intended not to initiate conversation in some later sitting.
