בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁנִּסֵּת לְכֹהֵן, וּמֵת, וְהִנִּיחָהּ מְעֻבֶּרֶת, לֹא יֹאכְלוּ עֲבָדֶיהָ בַּתְּרוּמָה, מִפְּנֵי חֶלְקוֹ שֶׁל עֻבָּר, שֶׁהָעֻבָּר פּוֹסֵל וְאֵינוֹ מַאֲכִיל, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יוֹסֵי. אָמְרוּ לוֹ, מֵאַחַר שֶׁהֵעַדְתָּ לָנוּ עַל בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל לְכֹהֵן, אַף בַּת כֹּהֵן לְכֹהֵן, וּמֵת, וְהִנִּיחָהּ מְעֻבֶּרֶת, לֹא יֹאכְלוּ עֲבָדֶיהָ בַתְּרוּמָה, מִפְּנֵי חֶלְקוֹ שֶׁל עֻבָּר:
The fetus and the yavam and betrothal and the deaf-mute and a boy of nine years and one day disqualify (from eating terumah) and do not cause (to eat terumah). [("The fetus":) This fetus, if she (the mother) is the daughter of a Cohein wed to an Israelite, he disqualifies (her), it being written (22:13): "Then she shall return to her father's house as in her maidenhood" — to exclude one who is pregnant. If she is the daughter of an Israelite wed to a Cohein, he does not cause (her) to eat, for "one who is not yet born does not cause to eat" (see 7:3). ("and the yavam":) If she is the daughter of a Cohein to an Israelite, he disqualifies her, it being written: "Then she shall return to her father's house" — to exclude one awaiting yibum, who cannot return, being bound to her yavam. And if she is the daughter of a Cohein to an Israelite, he does not cause her to eat, it being written (Ibid. 22:11): "the acquisition of his money," and this one is the acquisition of his brother. ("and betrothal":) If she is the daughter of a Cohein to an Israelite, he disqualifies her, for he acquires her with "being" (i.e., betrothal), and from the time of "being" she is disqualified, viz. (Ibid. 12): "And the daughter of a Cohein, if she be to a stranger" (i.e., a non-priest). If she is the daughter of an Israelite to a Cohein, he does not cause her to eat — a decree lest they pour her a cup of terumah wine in her father's house and she offer it to her brothers and sisters. ("and the deaf-mute":) If she is the daughter of a Cohein to an Israelite, he disqualifies her, for he acquires her by rabbinic ordinance. And if she is the daughter of an Israelite to a Cohein, he does not cause her to eat, it being written (Ibid. 11): "the acquisition of his money," and a deaf-mute does not acquire by Torah law. ("and a boy of nine years and one day":) If one of those unfit for the priesthood, who was nine years and one day old lived with the daughter of a Cohein, or of a Levite, or of an Israelite, he disqualifies her from eating terumah; for the cohabitation of one that old is considered cohabitation, and she is rendered a chalalah thereby. And if the daughter of an Israelite married a Cohein who was nine years and one day old, he does not cause her to eat terumah, because his acquisition is not a bona fide acquisition.] If it were doubtful whether or not he were nine years and one day [he is considered to be so, and he disqualifies]. If it were doubtful whether or not he brought two (pubic) hairs [If a minor betrothed a woman and it were doubtful whether or not he had brought two hairs, so that his betrothal is in doubt, his wife receives chalitzah and is not taken in yibum.] If the house fell upon him and upon his brother's daughter [who was his wife, and we do not know whether he died first, so that both women fell to yibum before his brother and the tzarah is exempt by reason of "the tzarah of one's daughter" — or whether she died first, so that when the other fell for yibum she was not the tzarah of his daughter, (as we learned (1:1): "And all of them — if they died, or refused … their tzaroth are permitted")], her tzarah receives chalitzah and is not taken in yibum. [Since stringent rulings in instances of doubt are mentioned here, this instance is mentioned too.]
