BIRTHRIGHT - B>@ - the advantages accruing to the eldest son. These were not definitely fixed in patriarchal times. Great respect was paid to him in the household, and, as the family widened into a tribe, this grew into a sustained authority, undefined save by custom, in all matters of common interest. Thus the "princes" of the congregation had probably rights of primogeniture. kjv@Numbers:7:2 kjv@Numbers:21:18 kjv@Numbers:25:14 ) (Gradually the rights of the eldest son came to be more definite:

(1) The functions of the priesthood in the family with the paternal blessing.

(2) A "double portion" of the paternal property was allotted by the Mosaic law. (21:16-17)

(3) The eldest son succeeded to the official authority of the father. The first-born of the king was his successor by law. ( kjv@2Chronicles:21:3) In all these Jesus was the first-born of the father.

(1.) This word denotes the special privileges and advantages belonging to the first-born son among the Jews. He became the priest of the family. Thus Reuben was the first-born of the patriarchs, and so the priesthood of the tribes belonged to him. That honour was, however, transferred by God from Reuben to Levi kjv@Numbers:3:12-13 kjv@Numbers:8:18).

(2.) The first-born son had allotted to him also a double portion of the paternal inheritance kjv@Deuteronomy:21:15-17). Reuben was, because of his undutiful conduct, deprived of his birth-right kjv@Genesis:49:4; kjv@1Chronicles:5:1). Esau transferred his birth-right to Jacob kjv@Genesis:25:33).

(3.) The first-born inherited the judicial authority of his father, whatever it might be ( kjv@2Chronicals:21:3). By divine appointment, however, David excluded Adonijah in favour of Solomon.

(4.) The Jews attached a sacred importance to the rank of "first-born" and "first-begotten" as applied to the Messiah kjv@Romans:8:29; kjv@Colossians:1:18; kjv@Hebrews:1:4-6). As first-born he has an inheritance superior to his brethren, and is the alone true priest.
