The Mess of Pottage, c. 1896-1902, by James Jacques Joseph Tissot

Genesis 25:29 - 25:30 - 25:31 - 25:32 - 25:33 - 25:34

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 your 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.
