The 11 שבטים (+Zevulun) +7 = 18 Twins
*Bava Basra 123a
**According to the פסיקתא זוטרי, the
wives were their
twin sisters (not קין והבל)

The גמרא says one is
obligated to honor his older brother.
The הלכות
קטנות (2:174) writes,
There is a possibility for
the opposite is true, where the older brother is the one
who is obligated to honor his younger brother.
Twins who were
born in a leap year, one on the 29th day
in Adar 1 (ראשון) and the second
one was born on the 1st.
of Adar 2 (שני),
The younger brother becomes Bar Mitzvah on the 1st of Adar
& the older brother becomes Bar Mitzvah 28 days later on the
29th of Adar (Bar Mitzvah on a regular year)
Being the younger brother becomes a גדול
before his older
brother, therefore, the older brother is מחוייב
to honor his
younger brother".
The שבות יעקב argues
and holds even in this case the younger
brother is the one who has to honor his older brother.

A dying person wrote in his will,
If his
pregnant wife will have a son,
The son
shall receive 2/3 of his assets
and his wife
shall receive 1/3 of his assets.
If she has a
daughter, then, the
wife shall
receive 2/3 of his assets,
and the
daughter shall receive 1/3 of his assets.
His wife had
twins, a boy and a girl.
How do you
divide the assets?
Avu es iz
doh תורה iz doh חכמה
(WHERE THERE IS TORAH THERE IS WISDOM)
R. Chaim Brisker solved
this, with a very
simple
solution.
The dying
husband wanted his son to
receive
twice as much as his mother.
He also
wanted the mother to receive
twice as
much as her daughter.
Therefore
you divide the assets into
seven parts.
The son gets 4 parts, the
mother gets
2 parts and the daughter
gets 1 part.

The כל בו (52) writes, "The מנהג
is, for women to bake on שבועות
a long bread
with four corners (probably a line in the middle)
לזכר the שתי הלחם
(looks like 2 breads) or because מזל סיון
תאומים (twins)"
