Usage

The term "bekirah" refers to the firstborn daughter in a family. In the Hebrew culture, the concept of the firstborn held significant importance, often associated with inheritance rights and familial responsibilities. While the term "bekirah" specifically denotes a female firstborn, it is less frequently used in the Hebrew Bible compared to its male counterpart, "bekor" (בְּכוֹר).
