Genesis 25:25-34 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

25. and the first cometh out all red as a hairy robe, and they call his name Esau;

26. and afterwards hath his brother come out, and his hand is taking hold on Esau's heel, and one calleth his name Jacob; and Isaac [is] a son of sixty years in her bearing them.

27. And the youths grew, and Esau is a man acquainted [with] hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob [is] a plain man, inhabiting tents;

28. and Isaac loveth Esau, for [his] hunting [is] in his mouth; and Rebekah is loving Jacob.

29. And Jacob boileth pottage, and Esau cometh in from the field, and he [is] weary;

30. and Esau saith unto Jacob, `Let me eat, I pray thee, some of this red red thing, for I [am] weary;' therefore hath [one] called his name Edom [Red];

31. and Jacob saith, `Sell to-day thy birthright to me.'

32. And Esau saith, `Lo, I am going to die, and what is this to me--birthright?'

33. and Jacob saith, `Swear to me to-day:' and he sweareth to him, and selleth his birthright to Jacob;

34. and Jacob hath given to Esau bread and pottage of lentiles, and he eateth, and drinketh, and riseth, and goeth; and Esau despiseth the birthright.
