31 Jacob replied, “First sell me your birthright.”
32 Esau said, "I am almost dead from hunger. If I die, all of my father's wealth will not help me."
32 “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said. “What good is the birthright to me?”
33 But Jacob said, "First, promise me that you will give it to me." So Esau made a promise to Jacob and sold his part of their father's wealth to Jacob.
33 But Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob.
