26. And afterward his brother came out, and his hand grasped the heel of Esau, so his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old at their birth.
27. And the boys grew up. And Esau was a skilled hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a peaceful man, living in tents.
28. And Isaac loved Esau because he could eat of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29. Once Jacob cooked a thick stew, and Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted.
30. And Esau said to Jacob, “Give me some of that red stuff to gulp down, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom).
31. Then Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright first.”
32. And Esau said, “Look, I am going to die; now what is this birthright to me?”
33. Then Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” And he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.
34. Then Jacob gave Esau bread, and thick lentil stew, and he ate and drank. Then he got up and went away. So Esau despised his birthright.
