אֶחָד הַבֵּן וְאֶחָד הַבַּת בַּנַּחֲלָה, אֶלָּא שֶׁהַבֵּן נוֹטֵל פִּי שְׁנַיִם בְּנִכְסֵי הָאָב וְאֵינוֹ נוֹטֵל פִּי שְׁנַיִם בְּנִכְסֵי הָאֵם. וְהַבָּנוֹת נִזּוֹנוֹת מִנִּכְסֵי הָאָב וְאֵינָן נִזּוֹנוֹת מִנִּכְסֵי הָאֵם:

Both the son and the daughter (share) in the inheritance. But a son takes a double share in the property of the father and not in the property of the mother; and the daughters are fed from the property of the father and not from the property of the mother. [This is the intent: Both the son and the daughter are equal in the inheritance of the property of the mother as (they are) in the inheritance of the property of the father. And there is no difference between the inheritance of the property of the mother and the inheritance of the property of the father. It is just that a bechor takes a double share in the property of the father, but not in the property of the mother, etc.]
