Firstborn (Judaism)
(詳細はHebrew Bible and Rabbinic Judaism. The role of firstborn son carries significance in the redemption of the first-born son, in the allocation of a double portion of the inheritance, and in the prophetic application of "firstborn" to the nation of Israel.
==Etymology and usage==
The semitic root B-K-R means "early" or "first" in Ancient Near East semitic languages. Classical Hebrew contains various verbs from the B-K-R stem with this association. The plural noun ''bikkurim'' (vegetable firstfruits) also derives from this root.〔Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament 2 p121 G. Johannes Botterweck, Helmer Ringgren - 1975 Article BEKHOR, section FIRSTFRUITS〕 The masculine noun ''bekhor'', firstborn, is used of sons, as "Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn" (Genesis 10:15), whereas the feminine noun, and female equivalent, is ''bekirah'' (בְּכִירָה), first-born daughter, such as Leah (Genesis 29:26). Derived from ''bechor'' is the qualitative noun ''bekhorah'' "birthright" (בְּכוֹרָה), related to primogeniture, such as that which Esau sold to Jacob. In the plural this qualitative noun "birthright" can also mean "firstlings", as when Abel brought out the "firstborn" (''bekhorot'' feminine plural בְּכֹרֹות) of his flock to sacrifice (Genesis 4:4).
