SIBI-P1 H1060-10
the firstborn son
| Morphological Notes | Noun common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ־). No pronominal suffix; refers to a specific male firstborn. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בְּכוֹר derives from the root בכר, expressing firstness or priority in birth. The form is masculine singular absolute with the definite article, so "the firstborn son" preserves both the male singular sense and the definite status while reflecting the root idea of primacy in birth order. |
