For the קרבן פסח, obviously no one else loses if there's a פסח שני. For the case of בנות צלפחד, the daughters are careful to ask למה יגרע, "why should <i>he</i> (our father) lose out?" If he was not included, his family, and by extension, his שבט would lose out on an area of land they might have otherwise received. Their relatives correctly noted that, as first taught, the inheritance rules would cause the property to shift to another שבט when the daughters married out. Thus, the caveat brings the rules of inheritance back into the realm of "לא חסר", by ensuring that a daughter's inheritance stays within the family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
