Hebrew מִכְרָ֥ה כַיֹּ֛ום. To sell + feminine singular suffix. Preposition like/as + definite article hot-one.

874

Strong’s #1062, bekorah. This is the feminine of bakar, first-born or firstling. The abstract idea of “birthright” is conjecture. James Strong admits “abstractly primogeniture - birthright”. It us used concretely in Genesis 4:4 “firstborns of his sheep” and also Deuteronomy 12:6, 12:17, 14:23, and 21:17.
