It is often used in the context of birthright and primogeniture, referring to the firstborn child, who traditionally held a place of prominence and received a double portion of the inheritance. This term underscores the importance of the firstborn in familial and societal structures in ancient Israel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the firstborn son held a significant role within the family. He was often seen as the primary heir and successor to the family leadership. This cultural norm is reflected in the biblical narratives, where the firstborn's rights and responsibilities are frequently highlighted. The concept of the firstborn also carries theological significance, as seen in the designation of Israel as God's "firstborn" among the nations (Exodus 4:22).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to bear new fruit, to constitute as first-born<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bear (1), first child (1), firstborn (2), giving birth (1), make (1).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">בָּכַר</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> (Late Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">בְּכֵּר</font>, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">בַּכֵּר</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb011401.gif">;
