One of the ancient customs was the impartation of the blessing from the fathers to their children before their departure from the earth. It became a law afterward, established by God through Moses for His people. It was so important that the children would fight at all cost in order to receive this.

“But he shall acknowledge the son of the….firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his” – (Deuteronomy 21:17).
