MISHNAH: The daughter of a male desecrated priest1Descendants of the forbidden union of a priest and a divorcee or a prostitute. is always disqualified for the priesthood. The daughter of an Israel who married a desecrated woman is qualified for the priesthood159Desecrated priests and their descendants can marry Israel or Levite partners without sin. According to Kiddushin 3:12:1" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Kiddushin.3.12.1">Mishnah 3:14, the children have the status of the male, qualified Israel for an Israel father and desecrated priest for a desecrated father.. The daughter of adesecrated priest who married an Israel woman is disqualified for the priesthood. Rebbi Jehudah says, the daughter of a male proselyte is like the daughter of a desecrated priest160This statement has no basis in the Torah; it accepts as law Ezekiel.44.22">Ez. 44:22 which instructs priests to marry only “virgins from the seed of Israel and widows of priests.”. Rebbi Eliezer ben Jacob said, the daughter of an Israel who married a proselyte is qualified for the priesthood and the daughter of a proselyte who married an Israel woman is qualified for the priesthood, but the daughter of a proselyte who married a proselyte is disqualified for the priesthood161Even if she was conceived after both partners became Jewish. He accepts as “seed of Israel” the child of either a male or a female Israel., both proselytes and freedmen, even for ten generations, unless the mother be from Israel. Rebbi Yose says, even the daughter of a proselyte who married a proselyte is qualified for the priesthood162If they married after conversion, as Jews, their children are “the seed of Israel”..

HALAKHAH: “The daughter of a desecrated priest,” etc. Rav Hamnuna in the name of Rav: Daughter, daughter’s daughter, forever163All descendants of a desecrated priest are desecrated, both male and female, for all generations.. Rebbi Joḥanan in the name of Rebbi Ismael: “In his clans.” Since by “in his clans” said there males are forbidden and females permitted, so by “in his clans” said here males are forbidden and females permitted164In Leviticus.21.1">Lev. 21:1 it is stated that a Cohen may not defile himself by impurity “in his clans”. A female member of a priestly family is under no such constraint. It is claimed that in Leviticus.21.4">v. 4, in which a Cohen is warned not to enter a marriage which would desecrate him, the expression “in his clans” similarly frees female members of a priestly family from the disability of desecration.. What is the difference between them165Rav and R. Joḥanan.? A Cohen who came to a divorcee and fathered a son; the son went and fathered a son and a daughter. In the opinion of Rav the son, the son’s daughter, the daughter’s son, and the daughter are forbidden166In fact, all descendants in all degrees are desecrated.. In the opinion of Rebbi Joḥanan the son’s daughter is forbidden, the daughter’s son is permitted167Following the Mishnah, if she married an Israel or a Levite.. The Mishnah disagrees with Rav: “The daughter of an Israel who married a desecrated woman is qualified for the priesthood.” He explains it, a broomstick desecrated one168Rav will hold to his position that all descendants of a desecrated priest remain desecrated and the females forbidden to the priesthood. But he notes that there is a category of desecrated women who are not descendants of desecrated priests, viz., women having had sexual relations with men whom they could not have married (such as women raped by Gentiles.) He will agree that the daughter of such a woman, whom he calls חֲלָלָה מְבָנָה “broomstick desecrated”, born as a regular Jew and married to an Israel, is qualified for the priesthood. (Explanation of Qorban ha‘edah.)
Since חֲלָלָה מְבָנָה does not make much sense, one might read חֲלָלָה מִבִּיאָה “desecrated by intercourse.”. The Mishnah disagrees with Rebbi Joḥanan: “Rebbi Jehudah says, the daughter of a male proselyte is like the daughter of a desecrated priest.169Since R. Jehudah holds that Ezekiel.44.22">Ez. 44:22 prohibits the daughter of a proselyte from an Israel mother to the priesthood, how could he agree that the daughter of a desecrated woman from an Israel is qualified for the priesthood?” He explains that Rebbi Jehudah only comes to add170He does not disagree with the anonymous Tanna; he only comes to add rules about proselytes not mentioned by the anonymous Tanna.. If he had said that the daughter of a desecrated priest is like the daughter of a male proselyte, you would have had a point.

The Leiden ms. in Bikkurim only notes the first few words and then writes “one continues this in Qiddušin4:7.” The full text was added by someone who prepared the ms. for the Venice printer; that text must have come from another ms. since not all deviations from L can be explained by copyists’ errors. Example. The elder Rebbi Hoshaia and Rebbi Judah Neśia were sitting together. Rebbi Joḥanan ran und whispered into Rebbi Hoshaia’s ear: May a Cohen who is injured in his testicles marry the daughter ofconverts? He asked him, what did he tell you? He answered, a question which a carpenter, son of carpenters, cannot resolve. He did not ask me about a convert, since she is like a whore for him. He did not ask about an Israelite daughter, whom he will desecrate. He asked only about the daughter of converts! Is the daughter of converts not an Israel? You have to explain it following Rebbi Jehudah, who said, the daughter of a male convert has the status of the daughter of a desecrated male.

If a Cohen had intercourse with a divorcee and fathered a daughter, what is the status of the daughter’s daughter173Assuming the mother was married to an Israel.? Rebbi Ḥanania and Rebbi Mana, one said she is qualified174Following R. Joḥanan., the other said she is disqualified175Following Rav.. The one who said that she is qualified asked the one who said that she is disqualified: Is the daughter of a male desecrated priest not disqualified176This is explicit in the Mishnah.? Is the broomstick desecrated one not disqualified177Yevamot 6:5:1" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Yevamot.6.5.1">Mishnah Yebamot 6:5.? Why is she disqualified178Since she is qualified by Kiddushin 3:12:1" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Kiddushin.3.12.1">Mishnah 3:14, she does not appear in any list of disqualified women. (Cf. Kiddushin 4:6:2" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Kiddushin.4.6.2">Note 168.)?

Rebbi Eliezer ben Jacob says, either her father or her mother. Rebbi Yose says, unless they are born in the holiness of Israel. Rebbi Simeon says, unless they grow the hymen in the holiness of Israel. It was stated in the name of Rebbi Simeon: “A girl which became a proselyte being less than three years and one day of age is acceptable for the priesthood since it was said (Numbers.31.18">Num. 31:18): ‘All the female children unfit for sleeping with a male you shall let live for yourselves,’ and Phineas was with them.” How do the rabbis explain? You shall let live as slaves and slave girls for yourselves.

Rebbi Yose, Rebbi Yasa in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan; Rebbi Jonah, Rebbi Ḥiyya in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Practice follows Rebbi Yose. Ḥanin bar Abba in the name of Rav: Practice follows Rebbi Yose, but Cohanim are used to follow Rebbi Eliezer ben Jacob. A Cohen married the daughter of proselytes. The case came before Rebbi Abbahu who let him kneel before the low bench. Rebbi Bevai said to him, did the Rabbi not teach us that practice follows Rebbi Yose? He answered, but are not Cohanim used to follow Rebbi Eliezer ben Jacob? He retorted, Rebbi, does one whip because of what one is used to do? He said to him, if you look at it in such a way, you have appeased me and I shall let him get up. After he got up, he said to him, since the lash was withdrawn I am permitted to have her.

Rebbi Jacob bar Idi in the name of Rebbi Joshua ben Levi: It happened that a family in the South had a bad reputation. Rebbi sent Romanus to investigate them. He investigated and found that a grandmother had been converted at less than three years and a day of age, and he declared them fit for the priesthood. Rav Hoshaia said, he declared them fit following Rebbi Simeon. Rebbi Ze‘ira said, here it is everybody’s opinion since Rebbi Ze‘ira said in the name of Rav Ada bar Ahava, Rebbi Judan brings it in the name of Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: The child of an adult is fit since it is a prohibition deduced from a positive commandment. (Leviticus.21.13">Lev. 21:13) “But he shall take a wife in her virginity.” Any prohibition deduced from a positive commandment is a positive commandment. Analogously, (Leviticus.21.14">Lev. 21:14) “only a virgin from amidst his people he shall take as wife,” not a proselyte. Is any prohibition deduced from a positive commandment a positive commandment? Rebbi Hoshaia objected: But the second generation of an Egyptian is a prohibition deduced from a positive commandment! Rebbi Hoshaia turned around and said, a positive commandment for Israel cannot be compared to a positive commandment for Cohanim. A positive commandment for Israel implies a prohibition for everybody. A positive commandment for Cohanim implies a prohibition for Cohanim but a permission for Levites and Israel.
