Bava Batra 114b (קיד:) — the Talmud in English

Rather, what can you say? That they move on

from one topic to another,

they move from one topic to another] so that he cannot retract.

If so,

here too

it is possible to resolve Rabba’s statement,

that

it is speaking of a case in which

they stood up and then sat down.

And then he cannot retract.

And the halakha is in accordance with Rav Yosef

in the following three cases: a.

With regard to a field

the dispute mentioned above (12b), concerning brothers who divided their father’s land, and one of them wants a particular field adjacent to his own field. Rav Yosef’s opinion is that he cannot specifically demand this field],

b

. With regard to the matter

i.e., the case under discussion, “as long as they are occupied with that matter”],

c.

And half

below (143a), concerning one who said to his wife, “My property is yours and your son’s”; Rav Yosef said that she acquires half of the property] .

We learned in the Mishna:

“A woman with regard to her son

and a woman with regard to her husband, and the maternal brothers, transmit an inheritance but do not inherit.”

Et cetera:

And the Gemara asks:

Why do I need this additional statement?

Was it not already taught in the first clause: “A man with regard to his mother, and a man with regard to his wife,

inherit but do not transmit an inheritance”? And by inference, we learn the opposite: that a woman does not inherit from her husband or her son? And the Gemara answers:

This teaches us that the phrase “a woman with regard to her son” is analogous to “a woman with regard to her husband”: Just as with regard to “a woman with regard to her husband,” the husband does not inherit his wife in the grave,

that is, she does not transmit to him property that was due to her after her death [and she does not inherit it in the grave in order to transmit it to her husband], but he inherits only property that was in her possession at the time of her death .

Likewise, with regard to a woman and her son, the son does not inherit his mother in the grave,

for example, if he died and afterward his mother died, he does not inherit his mother’s property in order to

transmit

it

to his brothers

from his father

through their father,

but her paternal relatives inherit her. Since we learned in the Mishna that a woman does not inherit her son, various opinions concerning this law are brought below:

Rabbi Yoḥanan said in the name of Rabbi Yehuda ben Rabbi Shimon

By Torah law

this can be derived from the verse],

the father inherits his son,

and his property, as we expounded above (109a and there).

And

likewise,

a woman inherits her son.

When his father is not alive .

As it is stated,

“And every daughter who inherits an inheritance from

the tribes

of the children of Israel,” ,

and we established above (111a) that this refers to a daughter who inherits from two tribes, namely, her father’s tribe and her mother’s tribe

? And we expound:

The mother’s tribe is juxtaposed to the father’s tribe: Just as with regard to the father’s tribe, the father inherits his son, so too, with regard to the mother’s tribe, a woman inherits her son.
