A bat-kohen or bat kohen ((ヘブライ語:בת כהן)) is the daughter of a Jewish priest, who holds a special status which is governed by special regulations in the Hebrew Bible and rabbinical texts. In rabbinical literature the bat kohen is considered unique in comparison to the general population of the daughters of Israel. This uniqueness is believed to be displayed -amongst other attributes- by her inherent ability to cope with above average and even intense levels of spirituality (Kedusha). This ability is attributed to her being the offspring -and raised- by her father, a Kohen, whose life is purported to be dedicated to the spiritual maintenance and growth of the Jewish people and service of the God of Israel. The Mishnah and Talmud instruct that the ''bat kohen'' is to be scrupulous in matters of ''tzniut'' ("modesty"), thereby portraying the values of maintaining a life dedicated to holiness and her father's life-work, and also that the ''bat kohen'' marry a kohen. The ''bat kohen'' is entitled to a number of rights and is encouraged to abide by specified requirements, for example, entitlement to consumption of the holy parts of sacrifices parts), lenient specifications in her preparations for immersion (J.Pesachim.1) and an above average monetary stipulation in her marriage contract. == Hebrew Bible == The initial mentioning in the Hebrew Bible of a daughter of a priest as a unique personality is at the time Joseph was ordained viceroy to Pharaoh; Next in the Hebrew Bible is the marriage of Moses to Zipporah, daughter of Jethro the priest of Midian. However, in terms of Talmud interpretation of the Torah and Halacha, the Aramaic and Hebrew term ''bat kohen'' is used and reserved for the daughters of Jewish male priestly descendants of Aaron exclusively. Chazal recognize Tamar as a daughter of a priest, and describe her as being the daughter of Shem, who was a priest before the priestly covenant was given to Aaron, and thus the Torah lists her punishment as Sreifah "burning," - a punishment given the ''bat kohen'' as described below. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bat-Kohen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
