Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּכַר (bakar), which means "to be born first" or "to bear early fruit."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2129: εὐλογία (eulogia) • While not a direct translation, this term relates to the blessing often associated with the firstborn. Usage: The word בְּכוֹרָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the status and rights of the firstborn, whether in the context of human families or among livestock. It often carries legal and spiritual significance, as the firstborn held a special place in familial and religious structures. Context: The concept of בְּכוֹרָה (bekorah) is deeply embedded in the cultural and religious practices of ancient Israel. The firstborn son traditionally held a position of honor and responsibility within the family. This status often came with specific privileges, such as a double portion of the inheritance (Deuteronomy 21:17) and leadership roles. The firstborn of animals also held religious significance, as they were often dedicated to God (Exodus 13:2).
