Talmud for Bekhorot 8:9

הַבְּכוֹר נוֹטֵל פִּי שְׁנַיִם בְּנִכְסֵי הָאָב, וְאֵינוֹ נוֹטֵל פִּי שְׁנַיִם בְּנִכְסֵי הָאֵם. וְאֵינוֹ נוֹטֵל פִּי שְׁנַיִם בַּשֶּׁבַח, וְלֹא בָרָאוּי כְּבַמֻּחְזָק. וְלֹא הָאִשָּׁה בִּכְתֻבָּתָהּ, וְלֹא הַבָּנוֹת בִּמְזוֹנוֹתֵיהֶן, וְלֹא הַיָּבָם. וְכֻלָּן אֵין נוֹטְלִין בַּשֶּׁבַח, וְלֹא בָרָאוּי כְּבַמֻּחְזָק:

The firstborn takes a double portion in the property of his father but does not take a double portion of the mother's property. And he does not take a double portion in [its increase in] value [after his death], nor in what is fit [to come into possession of his estate, but rather] in what he holds now. Neither a woman [collect] for her <i>ketubah</i> nor daughters for their sustenance, and nor the <i>yavam</i>, none of them take a double portion in [its increase in] value [after his death], nor in what is fit [to come into possession of his estate, but rather] in what he holds now.
