Exegesis
The adverb rishonah {רִאשׁוֹנָה | ri-ʾšō-nāh} ‘first’ establishes temporal priority, followed by mishneh {מִשְׁנֵה | miš-nêh} ‘double’ functioning as a quantitative intensifier.
In context — Jeremiah 16:18
But first, I will repay double for their iniquity and their sin because of their profaning my land. With the carcasses of their detestable things and their abominations, they have filled my inheritance.
