English: R’ Natan says: Whence that a woman’s fruit of the womb is blessed through the man’s fruit of the womb? As it is said, “He will bless the fruit of your womb” — it does not say “her womb” but “your (masc.) womb.”

On the daf / in context: Berachos 51b; cf. Eduyot on what a father transmits to a son.
