firstborn (literal or figurative preeminence)
Strong's / BibleHub Blue Letter Bible
1. firstborn (literal or figurative preeminence) — Adjective designating the first child born, extended metaphorically to Christ's supremacy over creation (Col 1:15 'firstborn of all creation'), his priority in resurrection (Col 1:18 'firstborn from the dead'), believers' status (Heb 12:23 'church of the firstborn'), and the literal firstborn of Egypt (Heb 11:28). Translations are uniform: Spanish 'primogénito/primogénitos,' Arabic 'bikr/abkār' (firstborn/firstborns), Korean '처음 난 자/처음 난 이들' (first-born one/first-born ones), Swahili 'mzaliwa wa kwanza/wazaliwa wa kwanza' (firstborn singular/plural), Hindi 'पहलौठा/पहिलौठों' (firstborn/firstborns). The split is purely singular vs plural number with no semantic distinction. 8×
