הִשָּׁ֤בְעָה לִּי֙ כַּיּ֔וֹם
swear, to/for=me on_the,day
See how you translated “swear to me by God” in Gen 21:23. Alternate translation: “First make an oath to me today before God that your rights are now mine!” or “You must first promise to me right now that you give your rights to me.”
וַיִּשָּׁבַ֖ע ל֑וֹ
and,swore to=him/it
Make sure the way you translate this clause fits well with what Jacob just said. Alternate translation: “So he vowed to him” or “So Esau made an unbreakable vow to him”
וַיִּמְכֹּ֥ר אֶת בְּכֹרָת֖וֹ לְיַעֲקֹֽב
and,sold DOM birthright,his to,Jacob
See how you translated “sell your birthright” in verse 31. Also see how Hebrews 12:16 is translated, which refers to the same event. Alternate translation: “that he had sold his rights as the firstborn son to Jacob for the stew” or “that he was selling his firstborn-son-rights to him in exchange for the stew”

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.
