Commentary for Sanhedrin 101:14

— The verse [she profaneth]is necessary. For I would think that this whole passage treats of incestwith one's father, and the penalty of burning is prescribed here intentionallyto obviate Raba's deduction.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., to shew that only a priest's daughter committing incest is burnt, but not an Israelite's daughter, who is differently punished. In that case, the identical phrasing of the verses cited by Raba would have to be otherwise interpreted. ');">¹³</span>
