Reference for Nazir 2:7

הֲרֵינִי נָזִיר לִכְשֶׁיִּהְיֶה לִי בֵן, וְנוֹלַד לוֹ בֵן, הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר. נוֹלַד לוֹ בַת, טֻמְטוּם, וְאַנְדְּרוֹגִינוֹס, אֵינוֹ נָזִיר. אִם אָמַר, כְּשֶׁאֶרְאֶה, כְּשֶׁיִּהְיֶה לִי וָלָד, אֲפִלּוּ נוֹלַד לוֹ בַת, טֻמְטוּם, וְאַנְדְּרוֹגִינוֹס, הֲרֵי זֶה נָזִיר:

(If one said:) "I shall be a Nazirite when I have a ben" (generically, "a child"), and a son were born to him, he becomes a Nazirite. If there were born to him a daughter, a tumtum (one whose genitals are concealed), or an androgynos (a hermaphrodite), he does not become a Nazirite. [For in common parlance, only a male is called "ben," and not a female, a tumtum, or an androgynous.] If he said: ("I shall be a Nazirite) when I have a valad (offspring)," even if he had a daughter, a tumtum, or an androgynos, he becomes a Nazirite. [Even a daughter, a tumtum, and an androgynos are called "valad."]
