Commentary for Kiddushin 70:12

For I can argue, If [of] priests, upon whom Scripture imposes additional precepts, [we say] 'the sons of Aaron' but not the daughters of Aaron, how much more so of Israelites! - But for the gezerah shawah I would reason that the connection is broken.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Viz., that 'the sons of Aaron' in v. I does not refer to 'they shall not shave the corner of their beards' in v. 5.');"><sup>14</sup></span>
