²⁹ One day Jacob was cooking a stew. Esau came in from the field, starved. ³⁰ Esau said to Jacob, "Give me some of that red stew--I'm starved!" That's how he came to be called Edom (Red). ³¹ Jacob said, "Make me a trade: my stew for your rights as the firstborn." ³² Esau said, "I'm starving! What good is a birthright if I'm dead?" ³³ Jacob said, "First, swear to me." And he did it. On oath Esau traded away his rights as the firstborn. ³⁴ Jacob gave him bread and the stew of lentils. He ate and drank, got up and left. That's how Esau shrugged off his rights as the firstborn.
