Esau Sells His Birthright
27 And the boys grew up; Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a [a]peaceful man, [b](A)living in tents. 28 Isaac loved Esau because [c]he had (B)an appetite for hunted game, (C)but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 And Jacob had cooked (D)stew. And Esau came in from the field, and he was [d]famished. 30 Then Esau said to Jacob, “Please give me a swallow from the red stuff—[e]this red stuff, for I am [f]famished.” Therefore his name was called [g]Edom. 31 But Jacob said, “[h]First sell me your (E)birthright.” 32 And Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?” 33 And Jacob said, “[i]First swear to me”; so he swore to him and (F)sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 So Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank and rose and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

Genesis 25:27-34
American Standard Version
27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a [a]quiet man, dwelling in tents. 28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob. 29 And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came in from the field, and he was faint: 30 and Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with [b]that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called [c]Edom. 31 And Jacob said, Sell me [d]first thy birthright. 32 And Esau said, Behold, I am about to die: and what profit shall the birthright do to me? 33 And Jacob said, Swear to me first; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: so Esau despised his birthright.
