Genesis 25:32-34

Expanded Bible

³² Esau said, “I am ·almost dead from hunger [^Lgoing to die]. ·If I die, all of my father’s wealth will not help me [^LWhat will my birthright be to me?].”

³³ But Jacob said, “First [v. 31], ·promise [swear to] me that you will give it to me.” So Esau ·made a promise to Jacob [^Lswore to him] and ·sold [exchanged] his ·part of their father’s wealth [^Lbirthright] to Jacob. ³⁴ Then Jacob gave Esau bread and ·vegetable soup [stew], and he ate and drank, and then left. So Esau ·showed how little he cared about his rights as the firstborn son [^Ldespised/showed contempt toward his birthright; Heb. 12:16–17].
