Genesis 25:29-34 ▼

29 When Jacob had cooked a stew one day, Esau came in from the field and he was exhausted;

30 and Esau said to Jacob, “Please let me have a mouthful of that red stuff there, for I am exhausted.” Therefore he was called Edom by name.

31 But Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.”

32 Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?”

33 And Jacob said, “First swear to me”; so he swore an oath to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank, and got up and went on his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
