Genesis 25:31

וַ יֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב מִכְרָה כַ יֹּום אֶת בְּכֹרָתְךָ לִי
And Heel is saying, `Sell her as the Hot-one873 אֶת-your firstborn874 to-myself.`
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.
