Genesis 25:28-34

New American Standard Bible

²⁸ Now Isaac loved Esau because ^[a]he had ^(A)a taste for game; ^(B)but Rebekah loved Jacob. ²⁹ When Jacob had cooked a ^(C)stew one day, Esau came in from the field and he was exhausted; ³⁰ and Esau said to Jacob, “Please let me have a mouthful of ^[b]that red stuff there, for I am exhausted.” Therefore he was called ^[c]Edom by name. ³¹ But Jacob said, “^[d]First sell me your ^(D)birthright.” ³² Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?” ³³ And Jacob said, “^[e]First swear to me”; so he swore an oath to him, and ^(E)sold his birthright to Jacob. ³⁴ Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank, and got up and went on his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
