Quoting%20commentary for Kiddushin 2:9

הַמְקַדֵּשׁ בְּעָרְלָה, בְּכִלְאֵי הַכֶּרֶם, בְּשׁוֹר הַנִּסְקָל, וּבְעֶגְלָה עֲרוּפָה, בְּצִפֳּרֵי מְצֹרָע, וּבִשְׂעַר נָזִיר, וּפֶטֶר חֲמוֹר, וּבָשָׂר בְּחָלָב, וְחֻלִּין שֶׁנִּשְׁחֲטוּ בָעֲזָרָה, אֵינָהּ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת. מְכָרָן וְקִדֵּשׁ בִּדְמֵיהֶן, מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת:

If one betroths a woman with arlah, k'lai hakerem, a stoned ox, eglah arufah (the heifer of the broken neck), the birds of a leper, the hair of a Nazirite, the first-born of an ass, meat in milk, and chullin (a non-consecrated animal) slaughtered in the azarah (the Temple court) — she is not betrothed. [For it is forbidden to derive benefit from all of these: arlah (Leviticus 19:23): "It shall not be eaten" — Both eating and the derivation of benefit are implied as forbidden. k'lai hakerem (Deuteronomy 22:9): "lest it be rejected" (pen tikdash) — "pen tukad esh" ("lest it be consigned to the flames"). a stoned ox (Exodus 21:28): "and its flesh shall not be eaten"). eglah arufah, "atonement" being stated in that regard, as it is stated of consecrated offerings, (from which benefit may not be derived), viz. (Deuteronomy 21:8): "And let them be granted atonement for the blood." the bird of a leper — As it was taught: "machshir" ("it predisposes") and "mechaper" ("it atones") were stated in respect to (what is done) within (the sanctuary) — the guilt-offering of the leper, which predisposes him for the eating of offerings, and his sin-offering, which atones, both being processed within — and "machshir" and "machaper" were stated in respect to (what is done) outside: "machshir" — the birds of the leper, which predispose him for entrance to the camp"; "mechaper" — the eglah arufah, in respect to which it is written: "And let them be granted atonement for the blood." And both are processed outside the Temple court. Just as with the "machshir" and "machaper" stated inside — the guilt-offering and the sin-offering of the leper — the machshir is equivalent to the mechaper, both being consecrated offerings, from which derivation of benefit is forbidden, so with the "machshir" and "mechaper" stated outside — the birds of the leper and the eglah arufah — the machshir is made equivalent to the mechaper, derivation of benefit to be forbidden. And from when is it permitted to derive benefit from the bird of the leper? From the time of slaughtering. And it is the slaughtered bird alone from which derivation of benefit is forbidden. (It is forbidden to derive benefit from) the hair of a Nazirite (Numbers 6:5): "He shall be holy; he shall let grow the locks of the hair of his head" — the growth of the hair of his head shall be holy. the first born of an ass (Numbers 13:13): "then you shall break its neck"; and it is stated in respect to the eglah arufah (Deuteronomy 21:4): "And they shall break the neck." Just as it is forbidden to derive benefit from an eglah arufah, so is it forbidden to derive benefit from the first-born of an ass. meat in milk: It is written three times: "Do not cook a kid in its mother's milk" — once, to interdict eating; once, to interdict the derivation of benefit; and once to interdict cooking. chullin slaughtered in the azarah (Deuteronomy 12:21): "When there is distant from you the place … you shall slaughter" — At a distance from the place (i.e., the Temple), you slaughter; but you do not slaughter in proximity to the place. I might think that he may not eat it, but that he might throw it to the dogs (i.e., derive benefit from it); it is, therefore, written (Exodus 22:30): "To the dog shall you throw it" — "it" (treifah) shall you throw to the dog; but you may not throw to the dog chullin that was slaughtered in the azarah.] If he sold them and betrothed her with their monies, she is betrothed. [For there is no (interdicted) thing that renders its monies as itself except idolatry and shevi'ith. idolatry (Deuteronomy 7:26): "lest you become rejected as it" — all that you cause to become of it (i.e., all that you take in exchange for it) are "as it." shevi'ith (Leviticus 25:12): "Holy shall it be" — it attaches itself to its monies as hekdesh (consecrated objects) — so that idolatry and shevi'ith are "two verses coming as one" (i.e., for the same teaching) and "We do not learn (the general principle) from two verses coming as one."]
