²⁷ When the boys grew up, Esau was a cunning and skilled hunter, a man of the outdoors; but Jacob was a plain and quiet man, dwelling in tents. ²⁸ And Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of Esau's game; but Rebekah loved Jacob. ²⁹ Jacob was boiling pottage (lentil stew) one day, when Esau came from the field and was faint . ³⁰ And Esau said to Jacob, I beg of you, let me have some of that red lentil stew to eat, for I am faint and famished! That is why his name was called Edom . ³¹ Jacob answered, Then sell me today your birthright (the rights of a firstborn). ³² Esau said, See here, I am at the point of death; what good can this birthright do me? ³³ Jacob said, Swear to me today ; and he swore to and sold him his birthright. ³⁴ Then Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils, and he ate and drank and rose up and went his way. Thus Esau scorned his birthright as beneath his notice.
