Berean Strong's Lexicon rishoni: First, former, primary Original Word: רִאשׁוֹנִי Word Origin: Derived from the root רִאשׁוֹן (rishon), meaning "first" or "former." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4413 (πρῶτος, protos): Meaning "first" in terms of order or importance. - G746 (ἀρχή, arche): Meaning "beginning" or "origin." Usage: The Hebrew word "rishoni" is used to denote something that is first in order, rank, or time. It often refers to the primary or initial aspect of something, whether it be in a sequence of events, a list of items, or a hierarchy of importance. In the context of the Bible, it can describe the firstborn, the first in a series, or the former things that have passed. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "first" held significant importance. The firstborn son, for example, had special rights and responsibilities, including a double portion of the inheritance and leadership of the family. The idea of "first" also extended to offerings and tithes, where the first fruits were given to God as a sign of gratitude and acknowledgment of His provision. This cultural emphasis on the "first" underscores the value placed on primacy and precedence in various aspects of life.
