Exegesis
The double accusative apposition ton huion autēs ton prototokon {τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς τὸν πρωτότοκον | tón hui-ón au-tês tón prō-tó-to-kon} ‘the son of her, the firstborn’ emphasizes his identity via repeated articles.
In context — Luke 2:7
She gave birth to her son, her firstborn, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and placed Him in a manger, since there was no place for them in the lodging .
