Talmud zu Sotah 9:11

Rebbi Jeremiah, Rebbi Ḥiyya in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish: Our Mishnah¹⁷⁴Which states that Joḥanan the High Priest abolished the recitation of the declaration. He held that people who do not follow the rules cannot make the declaration and giving tithe to Cohanim breaks the rules. In order not to be inquisitive he let nobody recite. after the people were suspected of giving tithe to Cohanim. There is support for Rebbi Joḥanan in one and disagreement with him in one. Disagreement with him as we have stated¹⁷⁵Mishnah Yebamot 9:6. In the interpretation of the Yerushalmi, one speaks about the daughter of a Cohen preliminarily married to a Levite, who has lost her Cohen status and not yet acquired Levitic status. In the interpretation of the Babli (Yebamot86a) which holds that tithes should regularly be given to Cohanim, the Mishnah is explained away: The daughter of a Cohen married to a Levite may eat tithes but she cannot receive tithes from an Israel as a precaution since an Israel woman married to a Cohen should not accept heave or tithe from an Israel since we are afraid her husband might die without issue and then she would be barred from heave and tithes.: “Similarly, the daughter of a Cohen [married] to a Levite should eat neither heave nor tithe.” We understand that she should not eat heave¹⁷⁶Since legally she is married; cf. Peah 6, Note 46.. But tithe any way you take it, if she is a Cohen’s daughter she should eat, if she is a Levite’s wife she should eat. Rebbi Hila in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: [It follows] him who says one does not give tithe to Cohanim. That means, he himself¹⁷⁷If R. Joḥanan considers the Mishnah contrary to his position, he must hold that Cohanim may receive tithe according to biblical law. says one gives heave to Cohanim.
