Bava Batra 117: Biblical Portions
Talking Talmud - A podcast by Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
Categories:
Beginning with a new mishnah on the previous daf! On the daughters of Tzlofchad and their inheritance of their father's portion of the land of Israel. The Gemara shifts the discussion to be about Tzlofchad's double portion -- and whether the daughters would inherit that double portion as well. Also, a deeper dive into the way the land of Israel was apportioned to those of the Children of Israel who entered the land. Plus, how those divisions might apply to kohanim, and the practice of implementing the biblical text.
