Reply To: B'chor Doing Avodah in Beis HaMikdash & Yerusha

We still have unresolved regarding whether ????? ?????? is like ????? ???? and applies to a ??? ??? firstborn son of the mother (and therefore a father can have more than one such ???? – each from a different wife), or ????? ?????? is like ????? and applies to the firstborn son of the father, Reishis Ono, who needn’t be a ??? ???.

Using my own logic, without knowing the sources, since the idea of ????? ?????? on ??? ??? comes because the Jewish firstborns were spared from ?????? ??????????, and Makos B’choros is also the reason the ?????????? were chosen to do the ????????? in the ?????????????????, it would seem that ????? ?????? would only apply to a ??? ???, and as such someone born via C-section wouldn’t be included.

Another point that wasn’t addressed is whether the ????? ???? says that a ???? today receives ?? ????? (a double portion) for his ????? from his father.
