25.31 Cui dixit Jacob, etc. ISID. Quod Esau primogenita propter escam fratri minori vendidit, et postea paterna benedictione sibi promissa privatus est, Judaicum populum significat: qui in Exodo primogenitus Dei filius appellatur, et propter sæculi lucra non solum primatus sui honorem amisit, sed et cœlestis regni præmium præparatum adipisci non meruit. Unde per exprobrationem dicitur Matth. 12: Auferetur a vobis regnum Dei et dabitur gentibus, etc. Primogenitura autem vestis erat sacerdotalis, qua induti majores natu cum benedictione patris victimas Deo, velut pontifices, offerebant: hoc dono, terreni amoris desiderio, caruerunt Judæi, cum gloria futuri regni.

BRN And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day thy birthright.
BrLXX Εἶπε δὲ Ἰακὼβ τῷ Ἡσαῦ, ἀπόδου μοι σήμερον τὰ πρωτοτόκιά σου ἐμοί.
(Eipe de Yakōb tōi Haʸsau, apodou moi saʸmeron ta prōtotokia sou emoi. )
25:27-34 Jacob and Esau each developed in accord with his initial characteristics (25:24-26). Esau, the reddish, hairy man, cared about physical things rather than spiritual things (see Heb 12:16); he was finally overcome by physical appetites and sold his birthright. Jacob, the heel grabber, knew the birthright’s value and drove a ruthless bargain to gain it presumptuously from his brother.

Make sure it is clear in your translation that Jacob was offering the stew as payment for Esau’s birthright as the firstborn son. In Hebrew culture the firstborn son inherited twice as much as the rest of the children in the family (Deuteronomy 21:15-17). That information could be put in a footnote so that people understand what Esau was selling for a bowl of stew. Alternate translation: “give your birthright to me in exchange for some stew” or “trade your rights as the firstborn son to me for some stew then I will give you some.”
