Summary
Genesis 25:29 - 25:34

25:29. Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field,

'''25:30. said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceedingly faint. For which reason his name was called Edom.'''

25:31. 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. 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.
