OET (OET-RV) One day, Yacob was cooking some stew when Esaw arrived home from being out, and he was very hungry
Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
וַיָּ֥זֶד יַעֲקֹ֖ב נָזִ֑יד
and,cooking Yaakob stew
According to verse 34, this stew (or thick soup) was made out of lentils, which are a type of bean; it may also have had pieces of meat in it. Consider what is the best way in your language to introduce the first event in this episode (following the background information in verses 27-28). Alternate translation: “Once Jacob was making some stew” or “One day when Jacob was making some stew”
וַיָּבֹ֥א עֵשָׂ֛ו מִן הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה
and,came_in ˊĒsāv from/more_than the=field
See how you translated field in verse 27. Alternate translation: “Esau came home from working out in the fields”
וְה֥וּא עָיֵֽף
and=he famished
The Hebrew word for exhausted means Esau was very tired (perhaps even feeling faint) from his hunting or work, as well as hungry and thirsty from lack of food. Some languages have an idiom for this that fits well here. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “and he felt weak from hunger.” or “and he was weak and hungry.” or “very tired and hungry.”
25:29 Ironically, Jacob proved the more cunning hunter. The word cooking (Hebrew wayyazed, “boiling”) sounds like the word for “hunter” (Hebrew tsayid). While boiling stew, Jacob was laying a trap for the hairy red animal. He may have waited a long time for this opportunity. This word for “boil” was also used for presumptuous action (like water boiling over the rim of the pot). Jacob overstepped his boundaries when he seized the promise for himself. By contrast, Abraham knew the promise was his and was secure in giving the land away (see study note on 13:8-13).
• Esau was exhausted and hungry, but his life was not in danger (25:32; see study note on 25:33-34).
