תַּנְיָא, רַבִּי אוֹמֵר, בְּכֻלָּן נֶאֱמַר נְתִינָה וְכָאן נֶאֱמַר הַעֲבָרָה, שֶׁאֵין לְךָ מִי שֶׁמַּעֲבִיר נַחֲלָה מִשֵּׁבֶט לְשֵׁבֶט אֶלָּא בַּת, הוֹאִיל וּבְנָהּ וּבַעֲלָהּ יוֹרְשִׁין אוֹתָהּ.

English: It was taught: Rabbi says, in all of them “giving” is said, and here “transferring” is said — for you have none who transfers inheritance from tribe to tribe except a daughter, since her son and her husband inherit her.
