נטלו שלשה חלקים בנחלה. בנחלת ארץ ישראל. וסבר האי תנא ליוצאי מצרים נתחלקה הארץ, דכתיב (במדבר כ״ו:נ״ה) לשמות מטות אבותם ינחלו. וצלפחד וחפר אביו שניהם נטלו חלק בארץ, שמיוצאי מצרים היו שניהם. ונטלו בנות צלפחד חלק אביהם שהיה מגיע לו בארץ, וחלק המגיע לו מירושת חפר אביו, וחלק בכורתו שהיה בכור ונוטל פי שנים. ואע״פ שעדיין לא ירשו את הארץ ואין הבכור נוטל פי שנים בראוי לבוא לאחר מיתה, ארץ ישראל מוחזקת היתה:

בבא בתרא פרק ח׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
אחד הבן ואחד הבת בנחלה – this is what he said: both the son and the daughter are equivalent in the inheritance of the property of the mother, [just as in the inheritance] of the property of the father. And there is no difference between the inheritance of the property of the mother to the inheritance of the property of the father other than that the first born son takes a double portion in the property of the father but does not take a double portion in the property of the mother.
אחד הבן ואחד הבת בנחלה. הכי קאמר, אחד הבן ואחד הבת שוין בירושת נכסי האם כבירושת נכסי האב, ואין הפרש בין ירושת נכסי האם לירושת נכסי האב, אלא שהבכור נוטל פי שנים בנכסי האב ואינו נוטל פי שנים בנכסי האם:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

נטלו שלשה חלקים בנחלה – in the inheritance of the Land of Israel. And this Tanna/teacher [in the Mishnah] holds that the Land [of Israel] was divided to those who left Egypt, as it is written (Numbers 26:55): “[The land, moreover, is to be apportioned by lot;] and the allotment shall be made according to the listings of their ancestral tribes” (see Talmud Bava Batra 117a). And Tzelophchad and Hefer, his father, took portions in the Land, for both were among those who left Egypt. But the daughters of Tzelophchad took the portion of their father that would become his property in the Land. And the portion that would become his from the inheritance of Hefer his father. And the portion of his first-born share as he was a first-born and he takes a double portion. But even though they had not yet inherited the land, the first-born does not take a double portion as is appropriate to come after death. The Land of Israel was held in possession.
