Exodus 13:13
“Redeem with a lamb every firstborn donkey, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem every firstborn among your sons.”
So are we saying we know the firstborn donkey had brother and sister donkeys?? Or was that how the language was used?
” The “first-born of the poor” signifies the most miserable of the poor ( Isaiah 14:30 ). The “church of the first-born” signifies the church of the redeemed.
The destruction of the first-born was the last of the ten plagues inflicted on the Egyptians ( Exodus 11:1-8 ; Exodus 12:29 Exodus 12:30 ). “

Maybe First-Born has a rather expanded meaning.

Someone else alluded to ‘firstborn’. I haven’t investigated that. My comments concerned a different part of the passage.
