25
And the first was born red, all over like a hairy garment: and they called his name Esau.
26
And after that his brother was born, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac [was] sixty years old when she bore them.
27
And the boys grew: and Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob [was] a plain man dwelling in tents.
28
And Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of [his] venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29
And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he [was] faint.
30
And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red [pottage]; for I [am] faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
31
And Jacob said, Sell to me this day thy birth-right.
32
And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birth-right bring to me?
33
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birth-right to Jacob.
34
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way: thus Esau despised [his] birth-right.
