Genesis 25:25-30

25Now the first came out red, 1all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau. 26Afterward his brother came out with 2his hand holding on to Esau’s heel, so 3he was named 4Jacob; and Isaac was 5sixty years old when she gave birth to them.

27When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a 6civilized man, 7living in tents. 28Now Isaac loved Esau because 8he had 9a taste for game; 10but Rebekah loved Jacob. 29When Jacob had cooked a 11stew one day, Esau came in from the field and he was exhausted; 30and Esau said to Jacob, “Please let me have a mouthful of 12that red stuff there, for I am exhausted.” Therefore he was called 13Edom by name.
