- The source entity 'right of primogeniture' (also known as 'right of the first-born to inherit') describes a legal/customary inheritance for the eldest son, including its practice in 'Bible lands'. Candidate 1, 'covenant blessing', describes a spiritual/ancestral inheritance in biblical tradition. A shared source text (01KJNM7NBD1YSVK3N320Q9WD71) explicitly states that Esau was entitled to 'the birthright blessing, or the covenant blessing', directly equating the biblical manifestation of primogeniture ('birthright blessing') with 'covenant blessing'. While their types and specific properties highlight different facets (legal/material vs. religious/spiritual), they refer to the same underlying concept of the firstborn's inheritance in this specific biblical context.
