| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23And the LORD said to her: Two nations are in your womb; two people will come from you and be separated. One people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger. |

| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Look," said Esau, "I'm about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?" |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to Jacob and sold his birthright to him. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Then Jacob gave bread and lentil stew to Esau; he ate, drank, got up, and went away. So Esau despised his birthright. |
