Which bracha can a person say only once in his/her life?

I guess if a man had more than one wife (sequentially or simultaneously) he could make more than one Bracha for a pidyon haben… but in practice, it’s a once-a-lifetime thing?

By the way, no one answered earlier, but Eliezer had another identity as Og! (Don't ask me how that makes sense. I don't understand it either. )

I just spent the last 10 minutes searching for this Rashi and finally found it.
These people used magic to fly. That's a hint.

Yeah, and someone was able to say something to make them fall? Something like that???

No. It's the first baby she gave birth to, right? Nothing to do with spouse.

Who was the first person who got sick before he died?
Who was the first person who said a tefila ?(al pi pshat- not medresh) and what was the tefila?

Whatst the name of the malach who spoke to Manoach?

I think this is a trick question, it doesn’t have a name/it’s name means “hidden” or something

I answered: the bracha for tevila for a ger.
That's not correct?

So far one right answer (becoming a ger)

Pidyon haben for some people, but not for everyone.

I have two more answers.

The father makes the Bracha, not the mother, yeah? (I’m a bas Levi, I know nothing of these matters)

So if wife A has an eldest son eligible for pidyon, Husband makes the Bracha.

He could only make it again if he got married a second time and his second wife also had a pidyon-eligible child.

I know I know it’s a stretch and someone else already gave a more precise answer…

1,2 and 3 are correct.
There was someone before Eliezer.
