Quoting%20commentary for Bava Batra 8:3

בְּנוֹת צְלָפְחָד נָטְלוּ שְׁלֹשָׁה חֲלָקִים בַּנַּחֲלָה. חֵלֶק אֲבִיהֶן שֶׁהָיָה עִם יוֹצְאֵי מִצְרַיִם, וְחֶלְקוֹ עִם אֶחָיו בְּנִכְסֵי חֵפֶר. וְשֶׁהָיָה בְכוֹר נוֹטֵל שְׁנֵי חֲלָקִים:

The daughters of Tzelafchad took three portions in the inheritance [of Eretz Yisrael]: the portion of their father, who was one of those who left Egypt, his portion with his brothers in the property of Chefer, and his additional portion as a bechor (first-born). [This tanna holds that Eretz Yisrael was apportioned among those who left Egypt, it being written (Numbers 26:55): "According to the names of the tribes of their fathers shall they inherit." Tzelafchad and Chefer, his father, both took a portion in the land, both being among those who left Egypt. And the daughters of Tzelafchad took the portion in the land accruing to their father, the portion accruing to them from the inheritance of Chefer, his father, and the additional portion accruing to him as a bechor. And even though they had not yet inherited the land, and a bechor does not take a double portion of what is to come after death, Eretz Yisrael was regarded as (already) held.]
