Halakhah for Ketubot 49:9

קתני מיהת נשיאות כפים מאי לאו ליוחסין לא לחלה הא דומיא דחילוק גרנות קתני מה חילוק גרנות ליוחסין אף נשיאות כפים ליוחסין לא חילוק גרנות גופה לחלה קסבר תרומה בזמן הזה דרבנן וחלה דאורייתא ומסקינן מתרומה דרבנן לחלה דאורייתא

In any case he teaches the lifting up of the hands. Is this not with regard to the full status of the priest? No, with regard to hallah. But he teaches [the rule regarding the lifting up of the hands] as similar to taking a share at the threshing floors: just as taking a share at the threshing floors [serves as evidence] in respect of the full status of a priest, so does the lifting up of the hands [serve as evidence] in respect of the full status of a priest! No, taking a share at the threshing floor itself [serves as evidence only as] to hallah, for he holds that terumah in our days is rabbinical and hallah is biblical and one raises [a person] from rabbinical terumah to biblical hallah.
