I still wonder about the whole thing... If Alduin was Akatosh's firstborn, why did Akatosh give the Dovahkiin the dragon blood in the first place?

I imagine it was something like:

"Hello random mortal, I am a god, and I will give you dragon blood so you can kill my firstborn son, because... Well, let's just say he was an accident."
