Bekhorot 52: three things to remember

  1. A firstborn receives a double portion only from his father's existing estate, excluding post-mortem growth like ripening grain or uncollected loans.
  2. Dividing brothers act like buyers who must redistribute their inherited ancestral fields at Jubilee, though the firstborn retains his double portion.
  3. A husband inheriting his wife's ancestral burial ground must return it to her family for money to prevent family disgrace.
