Mishnah 1א׳

וְאֵלּוּ הֵן הַלּוֹקִין, הַבָּא עַל אֲחוֹתוֹ, וְעַל אֲחוֹת אָבִיו, וְעַל אֲחוֹת אִמּוֹ, וְעַל אֲחוֹת אִשְׁתּוֹ, וְעַל אֵשֶׁת אָחִיו, וְעַל אֵשֶׁת אֲחִי אָבִיו, וְעַל הַנִּדָּה, אַלְמָנָה לְכֹהֵן גָּדוֹל, גְּרוּשָׁה וַחֲלוּצָה לְכֹהֵן הֶדְיוֹט, מַמְזֶרֶת וּנְתִינָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל לְנָתִין וּלְמַמְזֵר. אַלְמָנָה וּגְרוּשָׁה, חַיָּבִין עָלֶיהָ מִשּׁוּם שְׁנֵי שֵׁמוֹת. גְּרוּשָׁה וַחֲלוּצָה, אֵינוֹ חַיָּב אֶלָּא מִשֵּׁם אֶחָד בִּלְבָד:

In the following cases the punishment received is forty lashes: If one cohabitates with his sister, his father's sister, his mother's sister, wife's siter, his brother's wife, the wife of the father's brother, a woman during her menstrual cycle, a High Priest [cohabitates] with a widow, a common priest with a divorced woman or a woman who had chalitza performed on her, a mamzeret [an offspring from a prohibited union] or a netina [member of a caste of Temple servants, historically descended from the Gibeonites] to [cohabtates with] an ordinary Jew, a Jewish woman to [cohabitates with] a natin or a mamzer. [For] a widow and a divorcee, [a High Priest] is liable due to two prohibitions. [For] a divorcee and a chalutza, [an ordinary priest] is liable due to one prohibition alone.

Mishnah 2ב׳

הַטָּמֵא שֶׁאָכַל אֶת הַקֹּדֶשׁ, וְהַבָּא אֶל הַמִּקְדָּשׁ טָמֵא, וְהָאוֹכֵל חֵלֶב, וְדָם, וְנוֹתָר, וּפִגּוּל, וְטָמֵא, הַשּׁוֹחֵט וְהַמַּעֲלֶה בַחוּץ, וְהָאוֹכֵל חָמֵץ בְּפֶסַח, וְהָאוֹכֵל וְהָעוֹשֶׂה מְלָאכָה בְּיוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים, וְהַמְפַטֵּם אֶת הַשֶּׁמֶן, וְהַמְפַטֵּם אֶת הַקְּטֹרֶת, וְהַסָּךְ בְּשֶׁמֶן הַמִּשְׁחָה, וְהָאוֹכֵל נְבֵלוֹת וּטְרֵפוֹת, שְׁקָצִים וּרְמָשִׂים. אָכַל טֶבֶל וּמַעֲשֵׂר רִאשׁוֹן שֶׁלֹּא נִטְּלָה תְרוּמָתוֹ, וּמַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי וְהֶקְדֵּשׁ שֶׁלֹּא נִפְדּוּ. כַּמָּה יֹאכַל מִן הַטֶּבֶל וִיהֵא חַיָּב, רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר כָּל שֶׁהוּא, וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים כַּזַּיִת. אָמַר לָהֶם רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן, אֵין אַתֶּם מוֹדִים לִי בְּאוֹכֵל נְמָלָה כָּל שֶׁהוּא חַיָּב. אָמְרוּ לוֹ, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהִיא כִבְרִיָּתָהּ. אָמַר לָהֶן, אַף חִטָּה אַחַת כִּבְרִיָּתָהּ:

A ritually impure individual who eats sanctified property, one who enters the temple while ritually impure, one who eats forbidden fats, blood [from an animal], notar [meat from sacrifices which have been left over after their permitted eating period], pigul [sacrifices done with invalidating intentions], ritually impure [sacrifices], one who slaughters [sacrifices] or one offers them up outside [the temple], one who eats chamets [leavened grain products] on Passover, and one who eats or does work on Yom Kippur, one who manufactures the [anointing] oil, and one who manufactures the incense [used in the temple], one who anoints using the anointing oil, one who eats nevelah [improperly slaughtered animals] or treifah [an animal which will die within a year], insects and crawling creatures. One who eats tevel (produce which is yet to be appropriately tithed), or maaser rishon [the first tithe] which has not yet had its trumah (the portion which is given to a priest) separated, or maaser sheini [the second tithe] or sanctified property which have not been redeemed. How much must one eat from tevel in order to be culpable? R' Shimon says "any amount", and the Sages say "the size of an olive". R' Shimon said to them, "Do you not agree that one who eats an ant as it is is culpable?" They said to him, "That is because it is an entire creation by itself." He [R' Shimon] said to them, "One wheat grain is also a entire creation".
