25:27 Esaw sells his future inheritance
27 As the boys grew up, Esaw got good at hunting, a man of the outdoors, but Yacob was a quiet man who stayed around the tents. 28 Yitshak liked the taste of game meat so he loved Esaw, but Rebekah loved Yacob.
29 One day, Yacob was cooking some stew when Esaw arrived home from being out, and he was very hungry 30 and asked Yacob, “Can I have some of that red stuff because I’m starving.” (Esaw’s nickname became ‘Edom’, meaning ‘red’, because of that.)
31 “Well, today,” Yacob answered, “sell me your future inheritance.”
32 “Listen, I’m dying of starvation,” said Esaw, “so what use would a future inheritance be to me?”
33 “Well now, make a vow to me,” insisted Yacob.[ref]
So Esaw promised him, effectively selling his future inheritance to Yacob, 34 and Yacob gave him some of the lentil stew and some bread. So Esaw ate and drank and left again, thus despising his own inheritance as firstborn son.
