In the Hebrew culture, the firstborn held a special status and was often associated with inheritance rights and family leadership.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the firstborn son was traditionally given a double portion of the inheritance and was expected to assume the role of family head upon the father's death. This practice underscored the importance of lineage and continuity within the family structure. The concept of the firstborn also held religious significance, as the firstborn of both humans and animals were often consecrated to God, reflecting the belief that the first and best belonged to the Lord.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/hebrew/1072.htm">bikrah</a>.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>dromedary <p>From <a href="/hebrew/1069.htm">bakar</a> (in the sense of youth); a young camel -- dromedary. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1069.htm">bakar</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בִּכְרֵ֤י בכרי bichRei biḵ·rê biḵrê<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/isaiah/60-6.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 60:6</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/60.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">גְּמַלִּ֜ים תְּכַסֵּ֗ךְ <b> בִּכְרֵ֤י </b> מִדְיָן֙ וְעֵיפָ֔ה</span><br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/60.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> shall cover <span class="itali">thee, the dromedaries</span> of Midian<br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/60-6.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> of camels will cover <span class="itali">the dromedaries</span> of Midian and Ephah<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1070.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1070.htm">Strong's Hebrew 1070<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/bichrei_1070.htm">biḵ·rê — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/1069.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1069"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1069" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1071.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1071"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1071" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
