Genesis 25:30, 31, 32, 33, 34

Genesis 25:30 NLT

Esau said to Jacob, “I’m starved! Give me some of that red stew!” (This is how Esau got his other name, Edom, which means “red.”)

Genesis 25:31 NLT

“All right,” Jacob replied, “but trade me your rights as the firstborn son.”

Genesis 25:32 NLT

“Look, I’m dying of starvation!” said Esau. “What good is my birthright to me now?”

Genesis 25:33 NLT

But Jacob said, “First you must swear that your birthright is mine.” So Esau swore an oath, thereby selling all his rights as the firstborn to his brother, Jacob.

Genesis 25:34 NLT

Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. Esau ate the meal, then got up and left. He showed contempt for his rights as the firstborn.
