| The daughters of Zelophehad took three shares in the inheritance [of Canaan]: the share of their father who was of those who came out of Egypt, and his share among his brothers in the possessions of Hepher, [which consisted of two], since he was a firstborn son [who] takes two shares. |
בתרא 8.3 בנות צלופחד נטלו שלושה חלקים בנחלה-- חלק אביהם שהיה מיוצאי מצריים, וחלקו עם אחיו בנכסי חפר; ושהיה בכור, ונטל שני חלקים |
| Both a son and a daughter have equal rights of succession. Except that a son [when Firstborn] takes a double portion in the estate of his father but does not take it in the estate of his mother. Daughters must be maintained out of the estate of their [deceased] father but not out of the estate of their [deceased] mother. |
בתרא 8.4 אחד הבן ואחד הבת בנחלה-- אלא שהבן נוטל פי שניים מנכסי האב, ואינו נוטל פי שניים מנכסי האם; והבנות ניזונות מנכסי האב, ואינן ניזונות מנכסי האם |
