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. |
