Un yavam no hace que (un yevamah) coma terumah [cuando todavía está esperando yibum, está escrito (Levítico 22:11): "Y un Cohein, si adquiere un alma, la adquisición de su dinero", y ella es la "adquisición de su hermano.] Si ella pasó seis meses antes que su esposo, [seis de estos doce meses apartados para ella después de haber sido solicitados por el esposo] y seis meses antes del yavam, o incluso todos ellos antes del esposo y seis de ellos antes del yavam, o incluso todos ellos antes del esposo y uno de ellos antes del yavam [Aunque la mayoría de ellos fueron antes del esposo, hay una doble reserva aquí: a) no estaba obligado a alimentarse ella en su vida; b) incluso si él estaba obligado a alimentarla en su vida, ella no comió después de su muerte, la "adquisición de su dinero" se había disuelto (pero si todos estaban antes que el marido, ella al menos podría haber comido en su vida)], o todo antes del yavam menos un día antes del esposo [y, se va sin ti diciendo: si todos ellos fueron antes del yavam], ella no come terumah. Esta es (de acuerdo con) la primera Mishná [que si llega el momento, ella come terumah]. La situación después de ellos dictaminó: una mujer no come terumah hasta que entra en la jupá. [Porque tememos que no encuentre una mancha en ella, para que se descubra que ella es un "extraño" (para el sacerdocio) de manera retroactiva y que su "compra" sea errónea. Y de acuerdo con la primera Mishná, no abrigamos esta aprensión. Tampoco tememos que ella pueda darles a sus hermanos y hermanas a beber (una taza de terumah), ya que él (su esposo) le reserva un lugar, por lo que le permitieron comer terumah cuando llegó el momento.]
Tosefta Ketubot
The [legal] power of a wife is greater than the power of a yevamah (one whose husband died with no children and now is in a legal bond with her former brother-in-law which either ends in marriage or halitzah) [in some respects], and the power of a yevamah is greater than the power of a wife [in other respects]. The power of a wife is stronger—for a wife eats terumah [if her husband is a kohen] as soon as she enters the bridal chamber, even before she has had sex—which is not true for the yevamah. The power of the yevamah is stronger—for a man who has sex with his yevamah (i.e. his dead brother's wife), whether intentionally or unintentionally, whether forced or willingly, even if she is in her father's house, he acquires [her as a wife]—which is not true of a wife [with whom a man would need to have sex with the purpose of betrothal].

Tosefta Ketubot
The adult woman is like (sic!) one claimed—they give her 12 months. If she were a minor, either she or her father is able to delay [the marriage until she is of majority age]. Rabbi Tarfon says: They give her everything terumah [if she is claimed by a priest and the time limit of 12 months is up and they are still not married, she eats entirely terumah]. When does this apply? From betrothal [i.e. when the claiming 12 months is up, she is betrothed but still not married], but from marriage, Rabbi Tarfon agrees that they give her half hullin and half terumah. When does this apply? With a kohen's daughter [married to a] kohen, but an Israelite's daughter to a kohen, everyone agrees they raise all of her food from hullin. Rabbi Yehudah ben Betera says: Two parts terumah and one hullin. Rabbi Yehudah says: She should sell the terumah and buy with its value hullin. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: Any place where they [the sages] mention "terumah", he gives double hullin. This was the original mishnah. Our rabbis said: A wife who is an Israelite's daughter doesn't eat terumah until she enters the bridal chamber, and a yevamah doesn't [eat terumah] until she has sex [with her levir]. If her husband dies [after the time of claiming has passed], he inherits her. Said Rabbi Menahem ben Nafah in the name of Rabbi Liezer Ha-Kappar: A case, that Rabbi Tarfon who betrothed 300 wives for them to eat terumah, for they were years of famine. But Yohanan ben Bagbag already sent to Rabbi Yehudah ben Beterah to Netzivin, he said to him: I heard about you that you say a betrothed Israelite's daughter betrothed to a kohen can eat terumah. He replied to him and said to him: I had assumed that you were an expert in the chambers of Torah, but you don't know how to do a kal va-homer! Just as a Canaanite slavegirl, whose sex [with a kohen] does not acquire her to allow her to eat terumah, isn't it logical that money would acquire her to eat terumah!? But what can I do? For the Hakhamim said: A betrothed Israelite's daughter can't eat terumah until she enters the bridal chamber. If she dies, her father inherits her.
