First-Born.

The privileges of the first-born among the Jews being very great, that which is chief or most eminent in any kind is called the first-born, Gen. xlix, 3. So in Job xviii, 13 the first-born of death is the most fatal and cruel death. In Isaiah xiv, 30, the first born of the poor denotes those who are the most poor and miserable. See also Ps. lxxxix, 27; Jer. xxxi, 9; Rom. viii, 29; Col. i, 15–18; Heb. xii, 23.—Horne's Int. Vol. I, p. 197.
