Exegesis
The conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} connects this with a more specific focus on one member of the group, introduced by the article ho {ὁ | ho} plus the adjective protos {πρῶτος | prô-tos} ‘first’, which functions substantivally, “the first one.”
In context — Luke 20:29
There were therefore seven brothers. The first , having taken a wife, died childless .
