Mesorat%20hashas for Sotah 3:7

בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁנִּשֵּׂאת לְכֹהֵן, מִנְחָתָהּ נִשְׂרֶפֶת. וְכֹהֶנֶת שֶׁנִּשֵּׂאת לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, מִנְחָתָהּ נֶאֱכֶלֶת. מַה בֵּין כֹּהֵן לְכֹהֶנֶת, מִנְחַת כֹּהֶנֶת נֶאֱכֶלֶת, מִנְחַת כֹּהֵן אֵינָהּ נֶאֱכֶלֶת. כֹּהֶנֶת מִתְחַלֶּלֶת, וְכֹהֵן אֵין מִתְחַלֵּל. כֹּהֶנֶת מִטַּמְּאָה לְמֵתִים, וְאֵין כֹּהֵן מִטַּמֵּא לְמֵתִים. כֹּהֵן אוֹכֵל בְּקָדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים, וְאֵין כֹּהֶנֶת אוֹכֶלֶת בְּקָדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים:

A daughter of an Israelite who married a priest has her meal-offering burnt. [However,] A priestess who married an Israelite has her meal-offering eaten. What is the difference between a priest and a priestess? The meal-offering of a priestess is eaten, and the meal-offering of a priest is not eaten. A priestess can become profaned [lose her priestly status through an invalid marriage] and a priest cannot become profaned. A priestess may defile herself to the dead, and a priest may not defile himself to the dead. A priest eats holy of holies [sacrifices], and a priestess does not eat holy of holies [sacrifices].
