Genesis 25:26-32 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

26. Isaac was sixty years old when the little ones were born to him.

27. And as adults, Esau became a knowledgeable hunter and a man of agriculture, but Jacob, a simple man, dwelt in tents.

28. Isaac was fond of Esau, because he was fed from his hunting; and Rebekah loved Jacob.

29. Then Jacob boiled a small meal. Esau, when he had arrived weary from the field,

31. Jacob said to him, "Sell me your right of the firstborn."

32. He answered, "Lo, I am dying, what will the right of the firstborn provide for me?"
