Genesis 25:29-33 ▼

29 And Jacob boileth pottage, and Esau cometh in from the field, and he is weary;

30 and Esau saith unto Jacob, 'Let me eat, I pray thee, some of this red red thing, for I am weary;' therefore hath one called his name Edom Red;

31 and Jacob saith, 'Sell to-day thy birthright to me.'

32 And Esau saith, 'Lo, I am going to die, and what is this to me -- birthright?'

33 and Jacob saith, 'Swear to me to-day:' and he sweareth to him, and selleth his birthright to Jacob;
