Genesis 25:26-34

Hebrew Names Version HNV

26 After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esav's heel. He was named Ya`akov. Yitzchak was sixty years old when she bore them.

27 The boys grew. Esav was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Ya`akov was a quiet man, living in tents.

28 Now Yitzchak loved Esav, because he ate his venison. Rivka loved Ya`akov.

29 Ya`akov boiled stew. Esav came in from the field, and he was famished.

30 Esav said to Ya`akov, "Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom.

31 Ya`akov said, "First, sell me your birthright."

32 Esav said, "Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?"

33 Ya`akov said, "Swear to me first." He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Ya`akov.

34 Ya`akov gave Esav bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esav despised his birthright.

New International Version NIV

26 After this, his brother came out, with his hand grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.

27 The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the open country, while Jacob was content to stay at home among the tents.

28 Isaac, who had a taste for wild game, loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished.

30 He said to Jacob, “Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I’m famished!” (That is why he was also called Edom. )

31 Jacob replied, “First sell me your birthright.”

32 “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said. “What good is the birthright to me?”

33 But Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob.

34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright.
