Yevamos - Daf 57
- פצוע דכא כהן שקידש בת ישראל
On the bottom of Daf 56b Rebbe Elazar said in the name of Rebbe Oshaya: פצוע דכא כהן שקידש בת ישראל – In the case of a Kohen with wounded or crushed testicles who was mekadesh a bas Yisroel, we come to the same machlokes between Rebbe Meir versus Rebbe Elazar and Rebbe Shimon. Rebbe Meir, who holds משתמרת לביאה פסולה דאורייתא לא אכלה – a woman awaiting d’Oraysa forbidden relations may not eat terumah, would say here too she is forbidden, whereas according to Rebbe Elazar and Rebbe Shimon, who hold she may eat terumah, so too, here she may eat. The Gemara objects and says that perhaps Rebbe Elazar and Rebbe Shimon only hold that a Kohen entitles his forbidden arusah to eat, דיש לו להאכיל במקום אחר – where he has the capacity to entitle another, such as a permitted arusah to eat terumah. But here, in the case of a פצוע דכא, who never has the capacity to entitle one to eat terumah, perhaps Rebbe Elazar and Rebbe Shimon would agree that he does not entitle his forbidden arusah to eat. Abaye answered that the two cases can be compared, since a פצוע דכא can entitle one to eat terumah, such as in the case where he did not have relations with his wife after becoming maimed. Alternatively, Rava says he entitles his Canaanite slaves and maidservants to eat terumah.
- פצוע דכא כהן שנשא בת גרים מהו שיאכילנה בתרומה
Rebbe Yochanan asked Rebbe Oshaya: פצוע דכא כהן שנשא בת גרים מהו שיאכילנה בתרומה – If a maimed Kohen married the daughter of converts, what is the halachah regarding whether he entitles her to terumah? The Gemara determines that Rebbe Yochanan was asking according to Rebbe Eliezer ben Yaakov, who says: אשה בת גרים לא תנשא לכהונה עד שתהא אמה מישראל – A woman who is a daughter of converts may not marry into the Kehunah unless her mother is Jewish. Rebbe Yochanan was asking what the advantage is of having a Jewish mother. כשרות מיתוספא בה – Is it merely the ability to marry a Kohen that has been added to her, but not the kedushah of being part of the kahal that would forbid her to a פצוע דכא, and therefore she may eat terumah? Or is it the kedushah of being part of the kahal that has been added to her, which makes her forbidden to a פצוע דכא and she may not eat terumah? The Gemara brings a Baraisa that states that the proof that a פצוע דכא כהן who married the daughter of converts entitles her to eat terumah, is from the passuk, "וכהן כי יקנה נפש קנין כספו" – And a Kohen who shall acquire a person, an acquisition of his money, he may eat of it, referring to terumah. The superfluous expression of נפש, a person, is coming to include the daughter of converts married to a פצוע דכא כהן, that she is entitled to terumah.
- Machlokes if יש חופה לפסולות
It was stated: Rav says: יש חופה לפסולות – There is halachic significance to a Kohen’s chuppah with those disqualified from the Kehunah. Rashi explains that if a Kohen Gadol brought an almanah who was a bas Kohen, into his chuppah, and did not yet have relations with her, nor even was mekadesh her, she becomes passul to the terumah from her father’s house, דחופה ככניסת בעילה דמיא – for chuppah is considered as if he had relations with her. But Shmuel says: אין חופה לפסולות – the chuppah has no halachic significance with those women who are passul to the Kehunah.
