This refers to a case where the wound was on her face. Rav Zera said in the name of R. Matan who said in the name of Rav: (others says [that it was] Rabbi Zera who stated in the name of R. Matana who said in the name of Rav): The handiwork of a daughter who is maintained by her brothers belongs to herself, for it is written, “And you shall give them as an inheritance to your sons after you,” “them as an inheritance to your sons,” but not your daughters to your sons. This teaches us that a man does not bequeath as an inheritance the rights he receives from his daughter to his son.
