הַמְקַדֵּשׁ בְּחֶלְקוֹ, בֵּין קָדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים בֵּין קָדָשִׁים קַלִּים, אֵינָהּ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת. בְּמַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי, בֵּין שׁוֹגֵג בֵּין מֵזִיד, לֹא קִדֵּשׁ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, בְּשׁוֹגֵג לֹא קִדֵּשׁ, בְּמֵזִיד קִדֵּשׁ. וּבְהֶקְדֵּשׁ, בְּמֵזִיד קִדֵּשׁ וּבְשׁוֹגֵג לֹא קִדֵּשׁ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, בְּשׁוֹגֵג קִדֵּשׁ, בְּמֵזִיד לֹא קִדֵּשׁ:

If one (a Cohein) betroths a woman with his portion [of what he divides with his fellow Cohanim], whether holy of holies or lower order offerings, she is not betrothed. [For Cohanim appropriate from "the table on High," and Scripture states (Numbers 18:9): "This shall be to you from the holy of holies, from the fire" — Just as fire is used for consumption, so these gifts are to be used only for consumption.] (If one betroths a woman) with ma'aser sheni, whether unwittingly or wittingly, she is not betrothed, [it being written in that regard (Leviticus 27:30): "It is the L-rd's" — it must remain so.] These are the words of R. Meir. R. Yehudah says: Unwittingly, he does not betroth her; wittingly, he does betroth her [with ma'aser sheni, since it becomes profane (as opposed to consecrated) by redemption; and he made it mundane by this betrothal. And R. Meir holds that this is not the mode of redemption.] And with hekdesh [Temple maintenance property], wittingly, he betroths [For, knowing that it is hekdesh, and wittingly using it for a mundane purpose, its sanctity is profaned]; and, unwittingly, he does not betroth. [For, not knowing that it is hekdesh, and not desiring that hekdesh be profaned through him, it is not profaned, and she is not betrothed.] These are the words of R. Meir. R. Yehudah says [the opposite]: Unwittingly, he betroths; wittingly, he does not betroth. [The halachah is in accordance with R. Meir in respect to ma'aser, and in accordance with R. Yehudah in respect to hekdesh.]
