Two nations are in your womb;
two peoples will come from you and be separated.
One people will be stronger than the other, # 25:23 2Sm 8:14; Ob 18–21
and the older will serve the younger. # 25:23 Gn 27:29; Mal 1:2–3; Rm 9:12

Esau Sells His Birthright
27When the boys grew up, Esau became an expert hunter, an outdoorsman, # 25:27 Lit a man of the field but Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home. # 25:27 Lit man living in tents 28Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for wild game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. # 25:28 Gn 27:4–9
29Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field exhausted. 30He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stuff, because I’m exhausted.” That is why he was also named Edom. # 25:30 = Red
31Jacob replied, “First sell me your birthright.”
32“Look,” said Esau, “I’m about to die, so what good is a birthright to me? ”
33Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore to Jacob and sold his birthright to him. 34Then Jacob gave bread and lentil stew to Esau; he ate, drank, got up, and went away. So Esau despised his birthright. # 25:34 Heb 12:16–17
