Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
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_of,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]
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.
