DefinitionShort: pertaining to being a firstborn child (normally in contexts speaking of people but also used in reference to domestic animals)
Glosses: firstborn
Comments: In Jewish society the rights and responsibilities of being a firstborn son resulted in considerable prestige and status. The firstborn son, for example, received twice as much in inheritance as any other offspring.|The use of πρωτότοκος ‘firstborn’ does not imply in Greek that other children were also born to a woman, though in a number of languages one would never use ‘firstborn’ unless other children followed. Such an individual would be spoken of merely as ‘the only child.’ It is also frequently necessary to employ an appropriate qualifier for ‘firstborn’ in order to mark clearly the fact that it is ‘a firstborn son’ rather than ‘a firstborn daughter.’|The figurative meaning of πρωτότοκος in the messianic title πρωτότοκος πάσης κτίσεως ‘firstborn of all creation’ ({S:05100101500016} may be interpreted as ‘existing before all creation’ (see {D:13.79}) or ‘existing superior to all creation’ (see {D:87.47}).
