Talmud for Sanhedrin 101:5

אמר רבא הא מני ר"ש היא דאמר שריפה חמורה סד"א הואיל ואחמיר בהו רחמנא בכהני דרבי בהו מצות יתירות תידון בשריפה קא משמע לן

or aNathin,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The Nethinim (Nathin, pl. Nethinim) are regarded in the Talmud as descendants of the Gibeonites, who, having obtained immunity during the Conquest of Canaan by a ruse, were degraded by Joshua to the position of 'hewers of wood and drawers of water' (Yeb. 78b; Josh. IX, 19-23). Actually they are first heard of as returning to Palestine after the Babylonian Exile (Ezra II, 58, VII, 20; Nehem. III, 26, 31). They served under the Levites in the Temple (Ezra VII, 24). Though first mentioned only after the return from the exile, it is stated that they were appointed by David to serve the Levites; hence they must have been well known in Israel long before the Babylonian Exile, in spite of their late mention. In Talmudic times they were placed on a very low level, being forbidden to intermarry with freeborn Israelites. ');"><sup>5</sup></span>

Jerusalem Talmud Terumot

What is the reason of Rebbi Meïr? (Lev. 21:9) “If she desecrates her father’s house by whoring⁸⁰“A Cohen man’s daughter, if she desecrates her father’s house by whoring, she desecrates her father; she shall be burned by fire.” The status of an adulterous daughter of a Cohen also determines her status for restitution of heave.,” one who may not return to her father’s house; this excludes one who may return to her father’s house⁸¹The language is difficult. In the Rome ms., “this excludes one who may leave her father’s house.” The commentators switch the places of “may” and “may not”, but the manuscript evidence forbids this emendation. One has to say that the one who may not return is one living (or who lived previously) in a prohibited marriage; the one who may return is the one living in an acceptable marriage who will be able to resume eating heave as a childless widow or divorcee.. If she married acceptably but committed adultery, may she return to her father’s house⁸²The previous argument is patently false; a Cohen’s daughter acceptably married by her adultery becomes a permanently disqualified whore.? How is this? “If she desecrates by whoring;” the one whose desecration is by whoring, not the one whose desecration is by marriage⁸³The woman living in a forbidden marriage is disqualified already before her adultery; the special rules for daughters of Cohanim cannot apply to her. The woman married acceptably falls under the rules for Cohanim and their descendants.. What is the reason of the rabbis? (Lev. 21:9) “A Cohen man’s daughter,” under all circumstances. Then also if her desecration is by her son⁸⁴If the Cohen’s daughter sleeps with her own son, the punishment should be death by stoning which is considered a harsher punishment than death by burning.? Rebbi Ḥinena par Papa stated before Rebbi Zeïra following Rebbi Ismael: (Lev. 21:9) “She desecrates her father.” One whose desecration is caused by herself, not one whose desecration is because of her father. Rebbi Ḥanina said, I learn from the words of Rebbi Ismael, even if her desecration is by her son⁸⁵The Babli, Sanhedrin 51a, disagrees and in all cases requires the harsher punishment..
