Genesis 25:29-33

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁹ Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field exhausted. ³⁰ He said to Jacob, ‘Let me eat some of that red stuff, because I’m exhausted.’ That is why he was also named Edom.^[a]

³¹ Jacob replied, ‘First sell me your birthright.’

³² ‘Look,’ said Esau, ‘I’m about to die, so what good is a birthright to me? ’

³³ Jacob said, ‘Swear to me first.’ So he swore to Jacob and sold his birthright to him.
