خَمْسَةُ ذُكُورٍ وَخَمْسُ إِنَاثٍ،
Five sons and five daughters.
خَمْسَةُ — five. A number word, 'five', here in the form Arabic uses when the thing counted is masculine — number-gender works in reverse, so the feminine-marked numeral pairs with masculine 'sons'. It heads 'five sons' and governs the counted noun after it.
