Chapter 8, Mishna 4
Does the firstborn of a kohen (priest) receive a double portion in the sacrificial gifts given to his father?
Does the firstborn receive a double portion of “enhancement” to the estate after the father died, like a cow that gave birth to a calf?
On what point to Rebbi and the Rabbis disagree in this context?
Why is Rebbi considered so authoritative?
What is a “transformational” enhancement, and how does this affect firstborns portion?
What if a judge rules in accordance with Rebbi, and another judge rules in accordance with the Rabbis?
Does the firstborn take a double portion in a loan due to the father? What about interest on a loan made to a non-Jew?
