Genesis 25:31-34

31But Jacob said, “1First sell me your 2birthright.”

32Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?”

33And Jacob said, “3First swear to me”; so he swore to him, and 4sold his birthright to Jacob.

34Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank, and rose and went on his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
