[Avodah] Yotzei Mitzraim

[Galsaba at aol.com]

The Peirush that I liked is the one of the Tosafot. To my understanding here 
is the difference: 
If the Chaluka is to Yotzei Mitzraim (those who left Egypt themselves) , then 
only the "Not Tefelim" get a piece of land. "Not Tefelim" are those that are 
not women, or more than 20 years old. 
In this case, if Reuven is older than 20 years old, he will not get a share 
for his children. In reality, he himself gets nothing, because he was the one 
that left Mitzrayim, so he would die in the desert, and his childern will be 
the ones to inheret the land.  In this case, even if his children are "Tefelim", 
for example, even if they are less than 20, or women (such as the daughters 
of Tzalfachad..) 
If the Chaluka is to "Baei Haaretz" (those who came in to Eretz Israel), 
then, only the "Not Tefelim" will get piece of land. Indeed, the calculation will 
be as we dicussed, the shares will go to the fathers and then to the children, 
but only to those that are "Not Tefelim" , ie , older than 20, or men. 
In the example you gave on the Seuda Shelishit, the assumption is that both 
the 10 sons of Reuven and the one son of Shimon are over 20 years old. 
If they are all more than 20, it will be indeed the same ; however, if let's 
say 5 of the children are less than 20 years old, than according to the Tana 
that say that the land is to Yotzei Mitzraim, all 11 childen gets their pieces. 
 But according to the Tana that says that "Baei Haaretz" , then only 6 
children will get a piece. 
The relevancy to the issue of Benot Tzalfachad is, they got a land because we 
probably understand according to the first Tana (Yotzei Mitzraim) otherwise, 
if it is according to the second Tana, they are not deserve any piece, because 
they are "Tefelim" (as women).
