OET (OET-RV) and watch also that none of you are sexually immoral or godless like Esau who sold his own inheritance for a single meal.
ὃς ἀντὶ βρώσεως μιᾶς, ἀπέδετο τὰ πρωτοτόκια ἑαυτοῦ
who for food one /was/_given_back the birthright ˱of˲_himself
Here the author refers to a story about a man named Esau, who was the oldest son of Isaac. One day, Esau was very hungry. He saw his younger brother Jacob making food, and to get some of that food, he gave his birthright as the firstborn son to his younger brother. You can read this story in Genesis 25:29–34. You might want to include this information in a footnote.
12:16 Ancient Jewish literature describes Esau as sexually immoral because he was married to the Hittite women Judith and Basemath (Gen 26:34; see Jubilees 25:1; Philo, On the Virtues 208).
• Esau’s lack of regard for his birthright (Gen 25:29-34) was godless. His willingness to give up God’s blessings for immediate satisfaction illustrates the opposite of faith.
