Genesis 25:29-33 ▼

29 And Jacob had cooked stew. And Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.

30 Then Esau said to Jacob, “Please give me a swallow from the red stuff—this red stuff, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.

31 But Jacob said, “First sell me your 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, “First swear to me”; so he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob.
