Mishnah 1א׳

מִי שֶׁמֵּת וְהִנִּיחַ בָּנִים וּבָנוֹת, בִּזְמַן שֶׁהַנְּכָסִים מְרֻבִּים, הַבָּנִים יִירְשׁוּ וְהַבָּנוֹת יִזּוֹנוּ. נְכָסִים מֻעָטִין, הַבָּנוֹת יִזּוֹנוּ וְהַבָּנִים יִשְׁאֲלוּ עַל הַפְּתָחִים. אַדְמוֹן אוֹמֵר, בִּשְׁבִיל שֶׁאֲנִי זָכָר הִפְסַדְתִּי. אָמַר רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל, רוֹאֶה אֲנִי אֶת דִּבְרֵי אַדְמוֹן:

[If] one died and left behind sons and daughters: in the event that his possessions are abundant, the sons shall inherit and the daughters shall be maintained. [If his] possessions are sparse, the daughters shall be maintained and the sons shall beg from door to door. Admon says: "Because I am a male I have lost out!” Rabban Gamaliel says: I see [the logic of] the words of Admon.

Mishnah 2ב׳

הִנִּיחַ בָּנִים וּבָנוֹת וְטֻמְטוּם, בִּזְמַן שֶׁהַנְּכָסִים מְרֻבִּים, הַזְּכָרִים דּוֹחִין אוֹתוֹ אֵצֶל נְקֵבוֹת. נְכָסִים מֻעָטִין, הַנְּקֵבוֹת דּוֹחוֹת אוֹתוֹ אֵצֶל זְכָרִים. הָאוֹמֵר אִם תֵּלֵד אִשְׁתִּי זָכָר יִטֹּל מָנֶה, יָלְדָה זָכָר, נוֹטֵל מָנֶה. נְקֵבָה מָאתַיִם, יָלְדָה נְקֵבָה, נוֹטֶלֶת מָאתָיִם. אִם זָכָר מָנֶה אִם נְקֵבָה מָאתַיִם, וְיָלְדָה זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה, זָכָר נוֹטֵל מָנֶה וְהַנְּקֵבָה נוֹטֶלֶת מָאתָיִם. יָלְדָה טֻמְטוּם, אֵינוֹ נוֹטֵל. אִם אָמַר כָּל מַה שֶּׁתֵּלֵד אִשְׁתִּי יִטֹּל, הֲרֵי זֶה יִטֹּל. וְאִם אֵין שָׁם יוֹרֵשׁ אֶלָּא הוּא, יוֹרֵשׁ אֶת הַכֹּל:

[If] he left behind sons and daughters and a tumtum [person with recessed sexual organs whose gender is therefore impossible to determine, presently, by external examination. It is halachically uncertain whether such a person is male or female], in the event that his possessions are abundant, the males push [the tumtum] toward the females. If the possessions are sparse, the females push [the tumtum] toward the males. If one says, “If my wife shall bear a male he shall claim a maneh,” if she birthed a male, he claims a maneh. "A female - 200 zuz” - [and] she birthed a female, she claims 200 zuz. "If it is a male, a maneh and if it is a female, 200 zuz” - if she birthed a male and a female, the male claims a maneh and the female claims 200 zuz. If she birthed a tumtum, [the tumtum] does not claim anything. But if he said, “Whatever my wife births shall claim," the tumtum claims. . If there is no heir aside from [the tumtum], [the tumtum] inherits everything.
