Quoting%20commentary for Bekhorot 8:5

שְׁתֵּי נָשִׁים שֶׁל שְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים שֶׁלֹּא בִכְּרוּ וְיָלְדוּ שְׁנֵי זְכָרִים, זֶה נוֹתֵן חָמֵשׁ סְלָעִים לַכֹּהֵן, וְזֶה נוֹתֵן חָמֵשׁ סְלָעִים לַכֹּהֵן. מֵת אֶחָד מֵהֶן בְּתוֹךְ שְׁלשִׁים יוֹם, אִם לְכֹהֵן אֶחָד נָתְנוּ, יַחֲזִיר לָהֶן חָמֵשׁ סְלָעִים. אִם לִשְׁנֵי כֹהֲנִים נָתְנוּ, אֵינָן יְכוֹלִין לְהוֹצִיא מִיָּדָם. זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה, הָאָבוֹת פְּטוּרִין, וְהַבֵּן חַיָּב לִפְדּוֹת אֶת עַצְמוֹ. שְׁתֵּי נְקֵבוֹת וְזָכָר אוֹ שְׁנֵי זְכָרִים וּשְׁתֵּי נְקֵבוֹת, אֵין כָּאן לַכֹּהֵן כְּלוּם:

[If] two wives of two men who had not given birth then give birth to two boys [who became mixed up], this one gives five <i>selaim</i> to a priest and this one gives five <i>selaim</i> to a priest. If one of them dies within thirty days - if [the five <i>selaim</i>] were given to one priest, he gives them back five <i>selaim</i>. If they were given to two priests, they cannot extract [the money] from [either of] them. A boy and a girl, the fathers are exempt and the boy must redeem himself. If they gave birth to two girls and a boy or two boys and two girls, the priest receives nothing.
