Genesis 25:29-34

« Gen 24Gen 25Gen 26 »

29 And Jacob had cooked ^astew. And Esau came in from the field, and he was ¹famished. 30 Then Esau said to Jacob, “Please give me a swallow from the red stuff—¹this red stuff, for I am ²famished.” Therefore his name was called ³Edom. 31 But Jacob said, “¹First sell me your ^abirthright.” 32 And Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?” 33 And Jacob said, “¹First swear to me”; so he swore to him and ^asold his birthright to Jacob. 34 So Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank and rose and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
