Genesis 25:25-30

25
And the first came forth red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26
And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
27
And the boys grew: and Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.
28
Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob.
29
And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came in from the field, and he was faint:
30
and Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
