Halakhah for Sanhedrin 151:20
רבא אמר בשלמא התם אפיקתיה מדינא דבת כהן ואוקימתה אדינא דבת ישראל הכא אדינא דמאן מוקמת ליה אדינא דפנוייה מוקמת ליה
If so, just as in the case of a priest's [adulterous] daughter, only she is burnt, but not her paramour, so for incest with an illegitimate daughter, only she should be burnt, but not her paramour?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Seeing that the former is deduced from 'she shall be burnt with fire', whilst the verse is made to refer to incest too. ');"><sup>19</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
To not reveal the nakedness of the daughter: To not reveal the nakedness of the daughter, and this is not elucidated in the language of the Torah, that the verse would state, "The nakedness of your daughter you shall not reveal." And because of [the following] did a verse not come about it explicitly, since there is no need for it: As since the Torah forbade the daughter of the son and the daughter of the daughter which are more distant than she, there is no reason to say that she is forbidden - as it is an a fortiori argument (kal vachomer). And they, may their memory be blessed, also learned it from a inferential comparison (gezearah shavah). As if we had only extracted it with an fortiori argument, no one would have ever been judged for it - as it is established for us (Sanhedrin 76a) [that] 'we do not punish from an inference.'
