Genesis 25:27-34
27When the boysH5288 grewH1431 up, EsauH6215 becameH1961 a skillfulH3045 hunterH376H6718, a manH376 of the fieldH7704, but JacobH3290 was a 1peacefulH8535 manH376, 23livingH3427 in tentsH168.
28Now IsaacH3327 lovedH157 EsauH6215, becauseH3588 4he had 5a tasteH6310 for gameH6718, 6but RebekahH7259 lovedH157 JacobH3290.
29When JacobH3290 had cookedH2102 7stewH5138, EsauH6215 cameH935 in from the fieldH7704 and he was 8famishedH5889;
30and EsauH6215 saidH559 to JacobH3290, “PleaseH4994 let me haveH3938 a swallowH3938 of 9that redH122 stuffH123 there, for I am 10famishedH5889.” ThereforeH5921H3651 his nameH8034 was calledH7121 11EdomH112.
31But JacobH3290 saidH559, “12FirstH3117 sellH4376 me your 13birthrightH1062.”
32EsauH6215 saidH559, “BeholdH2009, I amH1980 aboutH1980 to dieH4191; so of whatH4100 use then is the birthrightH1062 to me?”
33And JacobH3290 saidH559, “14FirstH3117 swearH7650 to me”; so he sworeH7650 to him, and 15soldH4376 his birthrightH1062 to JacobH3290.
34Then JacobH3290 gaveH5414 EsauH6215 breadH3899 and lentilH5742 stewH5138; and he ateH398 and drankH8354, and roseH6965 and wentH1980 on his wayH1980. Thus EsauH6215 despisedH959 his birthrightH1062.
