Joseph, said in the name of Raba: A firstborn son who was born after the death of his father<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., where his widow bore twins or where he left two widows and both bore sons one of whom was the firstborn, ');"><sup>15</sup></span> does not receive a double portion. What is the reason? The All Merciful said, He shall acknowledge,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XXI, 17. ');"><sup>16</sup></span> and, surely. he is not [alive] to acknowledge [him]. And the law is in accordance with all those versions which Mar the son of R. Joseph quoted in the name of Raba.
