[In these cases the women] are permitted to their yevamim and forbidden to their husbands. The following are forbidden to both; A high priest who married a widow has a brother who is a high priest, or who is an ordinary priest; A fir [priest] who married a halalah and has a brother who was a fit [priest]; An Israelite who married a mamzeret and has a brother who is Israelite; A mamzer who married the daughter of an Israelite and has a brother who is a mamzer, [In these cases the women] are forbidden to both [the husband and the yavam].

9:3
שניות מדברי סופרים. שניה לבעל ולא שניה ליבם אסורה לבעל ומותרת ליבם. שניה ליבם ולא שניה לבעל. אסורה ליבם ומותרת לבעל. שניה לזה ולזה אסורה לזה ולזה. אין לה לא כתובה ולא פירות ולא מזונות ולא בלאות והולד כשר וכופין אותו להוציא. אלמנה לכהן גדול. גרושה וחלוצה לכהן הדיוט ממזרת ונתינה לישראל. בת ישראל לנתין ולממזר. יש להן כתובה:
[Concerning] relatives of the second degree [of incest laws who are forbidden] by the words of the scribes:[A woman who is] a second degree of kinship to the husband but not a second degree of kinship to the yavam, is forbidden to the husband and permitted to the yavam; [A woman who is] a second degree of kinship to the yavam but not a second degree of kinship to the husband is forbidden to the yavam and permitted to the husband; [A woman who is] a second degree of kinship to the one and to the other is forbidden to the one as well as to the other. She cannot claim her ketubah or usufruct or support money, or her worn clothes. The child is fit [to marry a priest], but the husband is compelled to divorce her. A widow who was married to a high priest, a divorcee or halutzah who was married to an ordinary priest, a mamzer or a netinah who was married to an Israelite, or the daughter of an Israelite who was married to a natin or a mamzer is entitled to her ketubah.
9:4
בת ישראל מאורסת לכהן. מעוברת מכהן. שומרת יבם לכהן. וכן בת כהן לישראל. לא תאכל בתרומה. בת ישראל מאורסת ללוי. מעוברת מלוי. שומרת יבם ללוי. וכן בת לוי לישראל. לא תאכל במעשר. בת לוי מאורסת לכהן. מעוברת מכהן. שומרת יבם לכהן. וכן בת כהן ללוי. לא תאכל לא בתרומה. ולא במעשר:
The daughter of an Israelite who was betrothed to a priest, or who was pregnant from a priest, or was a shomeret yavam to a priest; And similarly, the daughter of a priest [who was in such relationship] with an Israelite, may not eat terumah. The daughter of an Israelite who was betrothed to a Levite, or who was pregnant from a Levite, or was a shomeret yavam to a Levite; And similarly, the daughter of a Levite [who was in such a relationship] with an Israelite may not eat tithe. The daughter of a Levite who was betrothed to a priest, or who was pregnant from a priest, or was a shomeret yavam to a priest; And similarly, the daughter of a priest [who was in such relationship] with a levite, may eat neither terumah nor tithe.
9:5
בת ישראל שניסת לכהן תאכל בתרומה. מת ולה הימנו בן תאכל בתרומה. ניסת ללוי תאכל במעשר. מת ולה הימנו בן תאכל במעשר. ניסת לישראל לא תאכל לא בתרומה ולא במעשר. מת ולה הימנו בן לא תאכל לא בתרומה ולא במעשר. מת בנה מישראל תאכל במעשר. מת בנה מלוי תאכל בתרומה. מת בנה מכהן לא תאכל לא בתרומה ולא במעשר:
The daughter of an Israelite married to a priest may eat terumah. If he died and she has a son by him she may continue to eat terumah. If she was [subsequently] married to a Levite, she may eat tithe. If he died and she had a son by him, she may continue to eat tithe. If she was [subsequently] married to an Israelite she may eat neither terumah nor tithe. If he died and she has a son by him, she may eat neither terumah nor tithe. If her son by the Israelite died, she may again eat tithe. If her son by the Levite died she may again eat terumah. If her son by the priest died, she may eat neither terumah nor tithe.
9:6
בת כהן שנישאת לישראל לא תאכל בתרומה. מת ולה הימנו בן לא תאכל בתרומה. נישאת ללוי תאכל במעשר. מת ולה הימנו בן תאכל במעשר. נישאת לכהן. תאכל בתרומה. מת ולה הימנו בן תאכל בתרומה. מת בנה מכהן לא תאכל בתרומה. מת בנה מלוי לא תאכל במעשר. מת בנה מישראל. חוזרת לבית אביה. ועל זו נאמר (ויקרא כב, יג) ושבה אל בית אביה כנעוריה מלחם אביה תאכל:
The daughter of a priest who was married to an Israelite may not eat terumah. If he died and she had a son by him she may not eat terumah. If she was [subsequently] married to a Levite she may eat tithe. If he died and she had a son by him she may eat tithe. If she was [subsequently] married to a priest she may eat terumah. If he died and she had a son by him she may eat terumah. If her son by the priest died she may not eat terumah. If her son by the levite died she may not eat tithe. If her son by the Israelite died she returns to the house of her father; And it is concerning such a woman that it is said, “And she returns to her father’s house, as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread” (Leviticus 22:13).
