Esau Sells His Birthright
Genesis 25:29-34
29
Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
30
Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.
31
Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.”
32
Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
33
Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
34
Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
