Genesis 25:30
Verse 30 of 34. The 25th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.
26After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
28Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.
29Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
30Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with some of that red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.
31Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.”
32Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
33Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
34Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
