29 One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau happened to come in from being outdoors, and he was feeling famished. 30 Esau told Jacob, |Let me gobble down some of this red stuff, since I'm starving.| (That's how Esau got his nickname |Edom|.) 31 But Jacob responded, |Sell me your birthright. Do it now.| 32 |Look! I'm about to die,| Esau replied. |What good is this birthright to me?| 33 But Jacob insisted, |Swear it by an oath right now.| So he swore an oath to him and sold his birthright to Jacob.
