Parashas Eikev · Passuk 11:21
to the end that you and your children may endure, in the land that GOD swore to your fathersifathers See note at 1.35. to assign to them, as long as there is a heaven over the earth.
Torah Temimah points to Bava Batra 2b.
TT lemma: וימי בניכם (unit 5 of 9).
English: I might have thought “your children” excludes daughters; therefore it says “in order that they be multiplied” — a blessing, and one who blesses does so with a generous eye. Elsewhere “sons” may exclude daughters; here the language of increase opens the blessing widely.
Derash on the verse (Bavli sugya) — not a formal named middah of the 13
The Gemara uses this passuk in a sugya (proof, illustration, or dispute). Named as one of R' Yishmael’s 13 or R' Eliezer’s 32 only when that move is explicit.
The blessing of increase is not read stingily; daughters are not shut out of “that your days multiply.”
