Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
The firstborn was to receive a double portion. Israel was called the firstborn. All the firstborn in Israel were dedicated to God. In Hebrews we are called the church of the firstborn, and Jesus Christ is the firstborn of all creation.
The firstborn was to receive an extra portion. Along with this extra portion are responsibilities and duties. When these are not fulfilled, we see that the extra portion can be taken away and given to another.

Psalms 56:2-4 NKJV
My enemies would hound me all day, for there are many who fight against me, O Most High.
Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.
In God (I will praise His Word), In God (Elohim) I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?
