rsv Genesis:25:29-34
rsv@Genesis:25:29 @ Once when Jacob was boiling pottage, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
rsv@Genesis:25:30 @ And Esau said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red pottage, for I am famished!" (Therefore his name was called Edom.)
rsv@Genesis:25:31 @ Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright."
rsv@Genesis:25:32 @ Esau said, "I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?"
rsv@Genesis:25:33 @ Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.
rsv@Genesis:25:34 @ Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils, and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
