Midrash for Bekhorot 71:7
תני
is the evidence of a witness reporting an eye-witness valid? - Explain this [as follows]: It is valid only in respect of testimony which a woman is allowed to give.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And with reference to a firstling, a woman's word is taken if she declares that a certain blemish was not brought about deliberately.');"><sup>6</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 15:20) "And if there be in it a blemish": This tells me only of an animal that was born unblemished and became blemished. Whence do I derive (the same for) one that was born blemished! From "every blemish."
