מאי שתוקי אילימא שמשתיקין אותו מנכסי אביו פשיטא ומי ידעינן אבוה מנו אלא שמשתיקין אותו מדין כהונה דכתיב (במדבר כה, יג) והיתה לו ולזרעו אחריו ברית כהונת עולם מי שזרעו מיוחס אחריו יצא זה שאין זרעו מיוחס אחריו

Now what does shetuki mean here? Is it to say that he is “silenced” from the property of his father? This is obvious! Do we even know who his father is?
