25:29
One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
25:30
He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.)
25:31
“First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
25:32
“Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”
25:33
“Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.
25:34
Then Jacob gave some bread and lentil stew to Esau, who ate and drank and then got up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
