Genesis 25:27-34
27When the boysH5288 grewH1431 upH1431, EsauH6215 becameH1961 a skillfulH3045 hunterH376H6718, a manH376 of the fieldH7704; but JacobH3290 was a 1civilizedH8535 manH376, 2livingH3427 in tentsH168.
28Now IsaacH3327 lovedH157 EsauH6215 becauseH3588 3he had 4a tasteH6310 for gameH6718; 5but RebekahH7259 lovedH157 JacobH3290.
29When JacobH3290 had cookedH2102 a 6stewH5138 one day, EsauH6215 cameH935 inH935 from the fieldH7704 and he was exhaustedH5889;
30and EsauH6215 saidH559 to JacobH3290, “PleaseH4994 let me haveH3938 aH3938 mouthfulH3938 of 7that redH122 stuffH123 there, for I am exhaustedH5889.” ThereforeH5921H3651 he was calledH7121 8EdomH112 by nameH8034.
31But JacobH3290 saidH559, “9FirstH3117 sellH4376 me your 10birthrightH1062.”
32EsauH6215 saidH559, “LookH2009, I amH1980 aboutH1980 to dieH4191; so of whatH4100 use then is the birthrightH1062 to me?”
33And JacobH3290 saidH559, “11FirstH3117 swearH7650 to me”; so he sworeH7650 an oath to him, and 12soldH4376 his birthrightH1062 to JacobH3290.
34Then JacobH3290 gaveH5414 EsauH6215 breadH3899 and lentilH5742 stewH5138; and he ateH398 and drankH8354, and gotH6965 upH6965 and wentH1980 onH1980 his wayH1980. So EsauH6215 despisedH959 his birthrightH1062.
