Hirsch Summary
A promised B that he would transfer the responsibility for circumcising his first son. When the son was born, A asked B to waive this right in favor of A's brother for this occasion, with the understanding that B would perform the circumcision for the next son. B agreed. Later, A's first wife passed away, and his second wife wanted her brother to perform the circumcision for her son. B now demanded fulfillment of the promise. Moses Gomez de Mesquita ruled in favor of B. See references 602 , 753, and 860.
