Passage Content

When they threw him into the house of ashes, he said:
Ketia: All of my property is given to Rabbi Akiva and his colleagues.
How was this inheritance to be divided?
Rabbi Akiva went out and explained
Akiva: Ketiah's expression, is similar to the verse,
“And it shall be for Aaron and his sons”
This means: means half to Aaron and half to his sons.
Here too, as Rabbi Akiva is mentioned separately,
he should receive half, while his colleagues receive the other half.
