He said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished." (That is why he was also called Edom.) Context 30and Esau said to Jacob, “Please let me have a swallow of that red stuff there, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom. 31But Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.” 32Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?” 33And Jacob said, “First swear to me”; so he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. 34Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank, and rose and went on his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. Links Genesis 25:30 NIVGenesis 25:30 NLT Genesis 25:30 ESV Genesis 25:30 NASB Genesis 25:30 KJV Genesis 25:30 Commentaries Bible Hub |
