Talk:Firstborn (Judaism)

Naming conventions (use English)
This article seems a very clear case of where Wikipedia conventions need to be applied: In ictu oculi (talk) 10:00, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It should be either Firstborn (Judaism) or Firstborn son (Judaism). Dougweller (talk) 16:01, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * According to Google books and JSTOR usage, and SBL Handbook of Style (having mentioned the thing I suppose I'm bound to look at it now) would appear to be the former, which is a bit sexist, since it is largely about sons. But then the article mentions firstborn daughters too, so can get away with it. And bechorim as a collective in moderm Hebrew is gender neutral "first born sons and daughters" In ictu oculi (talk) 11:47, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Other Religions (use English)
I checked the Quran in various translations, and found no reference to an 'implied' suggestions of which son was sacrificed. this is clarified in the text, because when one says "Although not explicitly stated in...", it suggests an IMPLICIT statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.43.28 (talk) 20:19, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
