* And Jacob sod pottage : and Esau came from the field , and he was faint : * And Esau said to Jacob , Feed me , I pray thee , with that same red pottage ; for I am faint : therefore was his name called Edom . * And Jacob said , Sell me this day thy birthright . * And Esau said , Behold , I am at the point to die : and what profit shall this birthright do to me ? * And Jacob said , Swear to me this day ; and he sware unto him : and he sold his birthright unto Jacob . * Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles ; and he did eat and drink , and rose up , and went his way : thus Esau despised his birthright .
