25:28. Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca
loved Jacob.
25:29. And Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the
field,
25:30. Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For
which reason his name was called Edom.
25:31. And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright.
25:32. He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me?
25:33. Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold
his first birthright.
25:34. And so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and
drank, and went on his way; making little account of having sold his
first birthright.

but stay in the land that I shall tell thee.

for to thee and to thy seed I will give all these countries, to fulfil
the oath which I swore to Abraham thy father.
