Do you know of another example with EISAGW + object + EIS ... being used in
the sense of saying? Why not 'bring the firstborn again into the world', if
PALIN is an adverbial of EISAGW?

looking at LSJ s.v. EISAGW III. Here it has the force of "say." I'm not
sure why BDAG doesn't mention this usage. In this way 1.6a would function as
an introductory formula to 1.6b indicating a subsequent mention of the
PRWTOTOKOS. You might take a look at Ps 96.7 (LXX, 97.7 MT) and see where he
might get the concept though PRWTOTOKOS is not used there.
