Genesis 25:27-34

21st Century King James Version

²⁷ And the boys grew. And Esau was a cunning 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 me this day thy birthright.”

³² And Esau said, “Behold, I am at the point of dying. And what profit shall this birthright be to me?”

³³ And Jacob said, “Swear to me this day.” And he swore unto him, and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

³⁴ Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
