| 30He said to Jacob, "Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I'm famished!" (That is why he was also called Edom.) | 30And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.) | 30and Esau said to Jacob, "Please let me have a swallow of that red stuff there, for I am famished."

| 34Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left.
