[In respect] to what Law?  — R. Shesheth said: In respect of precedence,  [as] R. Samuel b. R. Isaac recited before R. Huna: [Since it is said], and he shall possess it,  the inheritance [mentioned] second  is to be compared to the one [mentioned] first;  as [in the case of] the inheritance [mentioned] first, a son takes precedence over a daughter so, [in the case of] inheritance [mentioned] second,  a son takes precedence over a daughter. Rabbah b. Hanina recited [a Baraitha] before R. Nahman:  [Since it is written], Then it shall be, in the day that he causeth his sons to inherit,  an inheritance  may be divided  in the daytime but not at night. Abaye said unto him: 'If that is the case,  would children be heirs only to him who died in the daytime, but not to him who died at night?  [You mean], perhaps, [the administration of] the law[s] of inheritance;  as it was taught: [With the Biblical announcement] And it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment,  the whole section  has been proclaimed to be [of a] judicial [character].  And [this, in fact is] in accordance with Rab Judah who said: Three [persons] who came to visit  a sick man may, if they wish, [either] write down [his instructions. with reference to the disposal of his estate  or], if they prefer it, give judgment.  Two [persons] may write down [the testator's instructions] but may not give judgment.  And R. Hisda commented: This applies only  to daytime;
