* And Jacob cooked pottage , and Esau came from the plain , fainting . * And Esau said to Jacob , Let me taste of that red pottage , because I am fainting ; therefore his name was called Edom . * And Jacob said to Esau , Sell me this day thy birthright . * And Esau said , Behold , I am going to die , and for what good does this birthright belong to me ? * And Jacob said to him , Swear to me this day ; and he swore to him ; and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob . * And Jacob gave bread to Esau , and pottage of lentiles ; and he ate and drank , and he arose and departed ; so Esau slighted his birthright .
