==== Nine Hours ==== The Arizal explains that the intention is that the time of pregnancy will be one day. Instead of pregnancy taking nine months as it does now, in the future it will take only nine hours. However, the Rebbe notes precisely in the words of the Alter Rebbe that all the births a woman will give birth to every day will be "from one intimacy." The meaning is through one intimacy - from one intimacy she will bear one child on one day, a second child on the second day, and so on. And now the question of how birth could happen every day is resolved, given that there are more days when intimacy is forbidden. Since we're saying this will be from one intimacy, then from the intimacy that occurred during the permitted time, several births would follow on several days (one after the other, even on prohibited days). This is indeed how it works with a hen (which the Gemara uses as an example) - despite the fact that after conception the hen doesn't receive the male, nevertheless, she lays several eggs on several days from the one mating with the male.
