Um yavam não faz (um yevamah) comer terumah [quando ela ainda está esperando yibum, que está sendo escrito (Levítico 22:11): "E um Cohein, se ele adquirir uma alma, a aquisição de seu dinheiro", e ela é a "aquisição do irmão dele.] Se ela passou seis meses antes do marido, [seis destes doze meses reservados para ela depois de ter sido solicitada pelo marido] e seis meses antes dos yavam, ou mesmo todos eles antes do marido e seis deles antes dos yavam, ou mesmo todos eles antes do marido e um deles antes dos yavam [Mesmo que a maioria deles tenha sido antes do marido, há uma reserva dupla aqui: a) ele não era obrigado a alimentar ela em sua vida; b) mesmo que ele fosse obrigado a alimentá-la em sua vida, ela não comeu após sua morte, a "aquisição de seu dinheiro" foi dissolvida (mas se todos eles estivessem diante do marido, ela poderia pelo menos ter comido em sua vida)], ou tudo antes dos yavam menos um dia antes do marido [e, isso acontece sem você dizendo, se todos eles estavam antes dos yavam], ela não come terumah. Este é (de acordo com) o primeiro Mishnah [que se chegar a hora, ela come terumah]. Os beth-din depois deles decidiram: Uma mulher não come terumah até que ela entre na chuppa. [Porque tememos que ele não encontre nela uma mancha, de modo que ela seja considerada uma "estranha" (para o sacerdócio) retroativamente e sua "compra" seja equivocada. E de acordo com a primeira Mishnah, não aceitamos essa apreensão. Também não tememos que ela dê a seus irmãos e irmãs para beber (um copo de terumah), pois ele (seu marido) reserva um lugar para ela, pelo que eles permitiram que ela comesse terumah quando chegasse a hora.]
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.
