1. Simply, for such as first open the womb, though no other come out of the same womb, Thus is it expounded, Exod. 13. 2. In this sense Israel who at that time was Gods only Son, is styled his first-born, Exod. 4. 22. And Jesus, as born of the Virgin Mary, is thus styled, her first-born, Matth. 1. 25. 2. Relatively, in relation to others that follow after out of the same womb: as 1 Sam. 17. 13. Eliab the first-born, and next unto him Abinadab▪ &c. In regard of this relative consideration, some translate it thus, Eliab the eldest.1
