בת ישראל שנשאת לכהן והכניסה לו עבדי מלוג ועבדי צאן ברזל עבדי מלוג אוכלין משלה ועבדי צאן ברזל אוכלין משלו אלו הן עבדי מלוג פחתו או הותירו הרי הן שלה ואלו הן עבדי צאן ברזל אם פחתו או הותירו הרי הן שלו הכניסתן בדמים נוטלתן בדמים ילדים נוטלתן נערים נערים נוטלתן זקנים אלו ואלו פירותיהן לבעל אלו ואלו הבעל חייב במזונותיהן וזה וזה אין יכולין למכור האיש אין יכול למכור מפני שמשועבדים לאשה ואשה אינה יכולה למכור מפני שפירותיהן לבעל.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
A daughter of Israel who marries a priest and brings into [the marriage] *melog* slaves (i.e., slaves from her own estate, which remain her property but which her husband can benefit from during the marriage), and *tzon barzel* slaves (i.e., slaves from her estate that are held by her husband during the marriage, and as to which he must remunerate her (or her estate) in case of divorce (or her death)): The *melog* slaves eat from hers (i.e., the non-terumah), and the *tzon barzel* slaves eat from his (i.e., the terumah). What are "*melog* slaves"? [If] they lost or gained [value], behold, they (i.e., their loss or gain) are hers. And what are "*tzon barzel* slaves"? [If] they lost or gained [value], behold, they are his. [If] she brought them [into the marriage] for their monetary value, she takes them for their monetary value. [If she brought them in] as children, she takes them out as youths; [if] as youths, she takes them out as elders. In either case, their fruits (i.e., the profits of their labor) belong to the husband. [And] in either case, the husband is liable for their sustenance, and they are not able to sell either this one or that one. The man is not able to sell because they are pledged to the woman, and the woman is not able to sell them because their fruits belong to the husband.

מת והניחה כמו שהיא עבדי מלוג אינן אוכלין כדרך שאינה אוכלת עבדי צאן ברזל אוכלין מפני שהן בחזקת היורשין עד שעה שינתנו לה הניח לה בנים אלו ואלו אוכלין הניחה מעוברת אלו ואלו אין אוכלין הניח לה בנים והניחה מעוברת עבדי מלוג אוכלין כדרך שהיא אוכלת עבדי צאן ברזל [אין אוכלין] מפני [שחלקו] של עובר [בהן] ר' ישמעאל בר' יוסי אומר משום אביו הבת מאכלת ואין [היורשין מאכילין] ר"ש אומר [כולם] זכרים יאכלו נקבות לא יאכלו שמא יהא עובר זכר ואין [לבת] במקום הבן.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
[If] he died and he left her as she was (i.e., without offspring (Minchat Yitzchak)), the *melog* slaves may not eat in a manner that she [herself] cannot eat, [and] the *tzon barzel* slaves may eat [terumah] because they are presumed to belong to the [husband's] legal heirs until the moment that they are conferred to her. [If] he left her with children, both these ones and those ones eat [terumah]. [If] he left her pregnant, neither these ones nor those ones eat [terumah]. [If] he left her with children as well as pregnant, the *melog* slaves eat [terumah] in the same way that she eats, [and] the *tzon barzel* slaves do not eat [terumah] because of the "share of the fetus" with them (see Yevamot 7:3). Rabbi Yishmael b'Rabbi Yosei says in the name of his father, the daughter may eat [terumah] but the heirs may not eat [terumah]. Rabbi Shimon says, [if] all of them are males, they eat [terumah], [but] if there are any females, they may not eat*, lest the fetus be a male, for a daughter does not [receive] any [inheritance] where there is a son.

בת כהן שנשאת לישראל והכניסה לו עבדי מלוג ועבדי צאן ברזל מת והניחה כמו שהיא עבדי מלוג אין אוכלין כדרך שאינה אוכלת עבדי צאן ברזל אוכלין מפני שהן בחזקת היורשין עד שעה שינתנו לה.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
A daughter of a priest who marries an Israelite, and brings into [the marriage] *melog* slaves and *tzon barzel* slaves: [If] he died and he left her as she was (i.e., without offspring), the *melog* slaves may not eat in a manner that she [herself] cannot eat, [and] the *tzon barzel* slaves may eat [terumah] because they are presumed to belong to the [husband's] legal heirs until the moment that they are conferred to her.

[Tosefta Yevamot 9:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tosefta%20Yevamot/r/9:4)

חרש שוטה וקטן שקנו עבדים אין אוכלין בתרומה אבל אם קנו להן ב"ד או שמנו ב"ד להן אפוטרופין או שנפלו להם בירושה ממקום אחר הרי אלו אוכלין בתרומה.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
A deaf-mute, an imbecile, or a minor who purchased slaves: They (i.e., the slaves) may not eat of terumah, but if the Beit Din purchased [the slaves] on their behalf, or [if] the Beit Din appointed a guardian over them, or [if the slaves] were passed down to them through inheritance from another place, behold, they may eat of terumah.


###### Tosefta Yevamot 9:5
[Tosefta Yevamot 9:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tosefta%20Yevamot/r/9:5)

כהן שקנה עבד ולישראל אפילו אחד ממאה בו אינו אוכל בתרומה אשת כהן שקנתה עבדים ועבדיה שקנו עבדים הרי אלו אוכלין בתרומה עבד כהן שברח ואשת כהן שמרדה הרי אלו אוכלין בתרומה. לא יצא הרוצח מחוץ לגבול עיר מקלטו בחזקת שכהן גדול קיים.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
A priest who purchased a slave, and an Israelite has even one-hundredth [of a stake] in him: [The slave] may not eat of terumah. The wife of a priest who purchased slaves, and her slaves who [themselves] purchased slaves, behold, they may eat of terumah. The slave of a priest who escaped, and the wife of a priest who rebelled, behold, they may [nonetheless] eat of terumah. § A murderer may not leave the boundary of a walled city due to the presumption that the High Priest is still alive.

[Tosefta Yevamot 9:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tosefta%20Yevamot/r/9:6)

העובר והיבם והאירוסין והחרש ובן ט' שנים ויום אחד פוסלין ולא מאכילין אר"ש בזו מדת הדין לוקה שאם יש מעשה לפסול יש מעשה להאכיל אם אין מעשה להאכיל לא יהא מעשה לפסול בתו פקחת הנשואה לאחיו חרש צרתה פטורה מן החליצה ומן היבום מק"ו אם נשואי בתה נשואין נישואי צרתה נשואין אין נישואי בתה נשואין לא יהו של צרתה נשואין.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
The fetus [of a divorcee or widow], and a yavam, and betrothal, and a deaf-mute, and a son of nine years and one day [all] disqualify [a woman from eating terumah], and do not cause her to eat [terumah]. Said Rabbi Shimon, in this regard, logic is deficient, for if there is an action that disqualifies, there should also be an action that causes her to eat. [Similarly,] if there is no action that would cause her to eat, there should also be no action to disqualify her. § [If] his mentally competent daughter marries the brother of a deaf-mute, her rival wife is exempt from chalitzah and from yibbum, from an *a fortiori* inference: If the marriage of her daughter is [considered a valid] marriage, [then] the marriage of her rival wife is [all the more so a valid] marriage. [Conversely,] if the marriage of her daughter is [not considered a valid] marriage, [then] the marriage of her rival wife is [all the more so] not a [valid] marriage.

[Tosefta Yevamot 9:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tosefta%20Yevamot/r/9:7)

בתו החרשת הנשואה לאחיו פקח צרתה חולצת ולא מתיבמת חרשת שהשיאה אביה הרי היא כפקחת לכל דבר בת ישראל פקחת שנשאת לכהן חרש אין אוכלת בתרומה עיברה לא תאכל ילדה תאכל נתחתך העובר במעיה תאכל בת ישראל חרשת שנשאת לכהן פקח אינה אוכלת בתרומה עיברה לא תאכל ילדה תאכל.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
[If] his deaf-mute daughter was married to his mentally competent brother, her rival wife is subject to chalitzah but not yibbum. A deaf-mute (f.) who was married off by her father, behold, she is [treated] like one who is mentally competent in every respect. The mentally competent daughter of an Israelite who was married to a deaf-mute priest does not eat of terumah. [If] she became pregnant, she may not eat. [If] she gave birth, she may eat. [If] the fetus [was miscarried and] was cut up in her womb, she may eat. The deaf-mute daughter of an Israelite who was married to a mentally competent priest may not eat of terumah. [If] she became pregnant, she may not eat. [If] she gave birth, she may eat.

[Tosefta Yevamot 9:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tosefta%20Yevamot/r/9:8)

בת כהן פקחת שנשאת לישראל שוטה טובלת מחיק בעלה ואוכלת בתרומה לערב עיברה לא תאכל ילדה לא תאכל כל שיש לה זרע מכהן בין זכרים בין נקבות אפילו זרע מזרע הרי זו אוכלת בתרומה.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
The mentally competent daughter of a priest who was married to an Israelite imbecile: She immerses himself [after she separates herself] from the breast of her husband (i.e., after sexual relations), and she may eat of terumah in the evening. [If] she became pregnant, she may not eat. [If] she gave birth, she may not eat. Anyone who has offspring from a priest, whether [the offspring] are males or females -- and even the offspring's offspring -- behold, this one may eat of terumah.

היתה בתה מישראל נשואה לכהן אינה אוכלת בתרומה עד שיהא לה זרע מכהן תחלה כהנת שמת עוברה בתוך מעיה הרי זו אוכלת בתרומה האשה שמקשה לילד מחתכין את העובר במעיה ואפילו בשבת ומוציאין אותו אברים אברים מפני שחייה קודמין לו יצא ראשו אפילו ביום השני אין נוגעין בו שאין דוחין נפש מפני נפש.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
[If] her daughter from [her marriage to] an Israelite was married to a priest, she may not eat of terumah until [her daughter] first has offspring from the priest. A priestess whose fetus died inside her womb: Behold, this [woman] may eat of terumah. A woman who has a difficult labor: They may cut out the fetus from her womb, and even on the Sabbath, and [they may even] extract it limb by limb, because her life takes priority over it. [But if] its head emerged -- even on the second day [of her labor] -- they may not touch it, for one life may not be pushed aside for the sake of another life.
