[א] 'נקבה' – אין לי אלא נקבה; מנין לרבות טומטום ואנדרוגניס? תלמוד לומר "ואם נקבה תלד וטמאה" – אין הדבר תלוי אלא בלידה.
1) (Vayikra 12:5) "And if a female she shall bear": This tells me only of (a child that is clearly) a female. Whence do I derive the same for one whose sex is in doubt and for a hermaphrodite? From "she shall bear." The criterion (for what follows) is the bearing (And since the sex here is in doubt, we assign her the days of cleanliness for a male, and the days of uncleanliness for a female.) "then she shall be unclean shvuayim": two weeks, fourteen days.
