In Bible times, the firstborn son of a family was held in great honor (Genesis 49:3; Exodus 11:5; 34:19; Numbers 3:40; Psalm 89:27; Jeremiah 31:9).
Sa panahon ng Bibliya, ang maging isang panganay na anak ay nangangahulugan ng pagkakaroon ng dakilang karangalan (Genesis 49:3; Exodo 11:5; 34:19; Bilang 3:40; Awit 89:27; Jeremias 31:9).
