<big><strong>גמ׳</strong></big> מאי לעולם מהו דתימא מידי דהוה אמצרי ואדומי מה להלן לאחר שלשה דורות אף כאן נמי לאחר שלשה דורות קא משמע לן

[THE SAME LAW APPLIES TO] A PROSELYTE AS TO FREED SLAVES, EVEN UNTO TEN GENERATIONS, [HIS DAUGHTER IS UNFIT] UNLESS HIS MOTHER IS OF ISRAELITE STOCK.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'from Israel.'');"><sup>3</sup></span> R'JOSE SAID: ALSO IF A MALE PROSELYTE MARRIES A FEMALE PROSELYTE, HIS DAUGHTER IS FIT FOR THE PRIESTHOOD. <big><b>GEMARA: </b></big>Why [state], FOR ALL TIME? - I might think, It is analogous to an Egyptian and an Edomite: just as there, after three generations [the interdict is lifted], so here too after three generations [the daugh is fit for the priesthood].
