כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל פְּעָמִים שֶׁהוּא פוֹסֵל. כֵּיצַד, בַּת כֹּהֵן לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, וְיָלְדָה הֵימֶנּוּ בַת, וְהָלְכָה הַבַּת וְנִסֵּת לְכֹהֵן, וְיָלְדָה הֵימֶנּוּ בֵן, הֲרֵי זֶה רָאוּי לִהְיוֹת כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל עוֹמֵד וּמְשַׁמֵּשׁ עַל גַּבֵּי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ, מַאֲכִיל אֶת אִמּוֹ וּפוֹסֵל אֶת אֵם אִמּוֹ, וְזֹאת אוֹמֶרֶת, לֹא כִבְנִי כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל, שֶׁהוּא פּוֹסְלֵנִי מִן הַתְּרוּמָה:

A High Priest may occasionally disqualify. How so? [If] a priest's daughter [was married] to an Israelite, and she bore him a daughter, and that daughter went and married a priest, and bore him a son - he [that son] is eligible to be a High Priest, to stand and minister on the altar; he confers the right to eat [<i>Terumah</i>] on his mother but disqualifies his mother's mother, who may well say: "May there not be like my grandson the High Priest who disqualifies me from eating <i>Terumah</i>."
