Bava Batra 113B

למאי הלכתא? אמר רב ששת: לקדם.

With regard to what halakha was this said? It is obvious that in principle daughters have the right to inherit from their maternal uncle, as the mother inherits from him. Rav Sheshet said: It is said to teach that where there are sons as well, they precede the daughters in inheriting from their maternal uncle.

תני רב שמואל בר רב יצחק קמיה דרב הונא: ״וירש״⁠ – מקיש ירושה שניה לירושה ראשונה; מה ירושה ראשונה ⁠– בן קודם לבת, אף ירושה שניה ⁠– בן קודם לבת.

Rav Shmuel bar Rav Yitzḥak taught a baraita before Rav Huna: At the end of the passage discussing inheritance of land, the verse states: “Then you should give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he should inherit it” (Numbers 27:11). The verse juxtaposes a secondary inheritance, that of one inheriting from other relatives, to a primary inheritance, that of a child inheriting from a parent. This teaches that just as with regard to a primary inheritance a son precedes a daughter, so too, with regard to a secondary inheritance a son precedes a daughter.

תני רבה בר חנינא קמיה דרב נחמן: ״והיה ביום הנחילו את בניו״⁠ – ביום אתה מפיל נחלות, ואי אתה מפיל נחלות בלילה. אמר ליה אביי: אלא מעתה, דשכיב ביממא הוא דירתי ליה בניה, מאן דשכיב בליליא לא ירתי ליה בניה?!

§ Rabba bar Ḥanina taught a baraita before Rav Naḥman: A verse in the passage concerning the double portion inherited by a firstborn states: “Then it should be on the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has” (Deuteronomy 21:16). The addition of the phrase “on the day” teaches that it is specifically during the day that you may distribute inheritances, but you may not distribute inheritances at night. Abaye said to him: That cannot be the halakha, as, if that is so, it ought to be that only one who dies during the day is the one from whom his children inherit, but with regard to one who dies at night, his children do not inherit from him, and this is not the case.
