Esau Sells his Birthright
Genesis Chapter 25
|
25:24
|
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
|
|
|
|
25:25
|
And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
|
|
|
|
25:26
|
And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
|
|
|
|
25:27
|
And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
|
|
|
|
25:28
|
And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
|
|
|
|
25:29
|
And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
|
|
|
|
25:30
|
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.
|
|
|
|
25:31
|
And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
|
|
|
|
25:32
|
And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
|
|
|
|
25:33
|
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
|
|
|
|
25:34
|
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.
