From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Birthright       (1.) This word denotes the special privileges and advantages       belonging to the first-born son among the Jews. He became the       priest of the family. Thus Reuben was the first-born of the       patriarchs, and so the priesthood of the tribes belonged to him.       That honour was, however, transferred by God from Reuben to Levi       (Num. 3:12, 13; 8:18).                (2.) The first-born son had allotted to him also a double       portion of the paternal inheritance (Deut. 21:15-17). Reuben       was, because of his undutiful conduct, deprived of his       birth-right (Gen. 49:4; 1 Chr. 5:1). Esau transferred his       birth-right to Jacob (Gen. 25:33).                (3.) The first-born inherited the judicial authority of his       father, whatever it might be (2 Chr. 21:3). By divine       appointment, however, David excluded Adonijah in favour of       Solomon.                (4.) The Jews attached a sacred importance to the rank of       "first-born" and "first-begotten" as applied to the Messiah       (Rom. 8:29; Col. 1:18; Heb. 1:4-6). As first-born he has an       inheritance superior to his brethren, and is the alone true       priest.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Brother       (1.) In the natural and common sense (Matt. 1:2; Luke 3:1, 19).                (2.) A near relation, a cousin (Gen. 13:8; 14:16; Matt. 12:46;       John 7:3; Acts 1:14; Gal. 1:19).                (3.) Simply a fellow-countryman (Matt. 5:47; Acts 3:22; Heb.       7:5).                (4.) A disciple or follower (Matt. 25:40; Heb. 2:11, 12).                (5.) One of the same faith (Amos 1:9; Acts 9:30; 11:29; 1 Cor.       5:11); whence the early disciples of our Lord were known to each       other as brethren.                (6.) A colleague in office (Ezra 3:2; 1 Cor. 1:1; 2 Cor. 1:1).                (7.) A fellow-man (Gen. 9:5; 19:7; Matt. 5:22, 23, 24; 7:5;       Heb. 2:17).                (8.) One beloved or closely united with another in affection       (2 Sam. 1:26; Acts 6:3; 1 Thess. 5:1). Brethren of Jesus (Matt.       1:25; 12:46, 50: Mark 3:31, 32; Gal. 1:19; 1 Cor. 9:5, etc.)       were probably the younger children of Joseph and Mary. Some have       supposed that they may have been the children of Joseph by a       former marriage, and others that they were the children of Mary,       the Virgin's sister, and wife of Cleophas. The first       interpretation, however, is the most natural.
