Esau Sells His Birthright to Jacob

25:27-34

27 Then the boys grew up, and Esau became a man who knew hunting, a man of the field, and Jacob was a quiet man who stayed among the tents. 28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he liked game meat in his mouth, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 Now Jacob was cooking stew, and Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. 30 Then Esau said to Jacob, “Please let me devour some of that very red stuff because I am exhausted!” For that reason they called his name Edom. 31 But Jacob said, “On this day sell your birthright to me.” 32 And Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die! So for what use is that to me, a birthright?” 33 But Jacob said, “Swear to me on this day!” So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave to Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank, and got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright.
