|
|
23. And the LORD told her, "The sons in your womb will become two nations. From the very beginning, the two nations will be rivals. One nation will be stronger than the other; and your older son will serve your younger son."

|
|
29. One day when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau arrived home from the wilderness exhausted and hungry.
|
29. And Jacob H3290 sod H2102 pottage H5138 : and Esau H6215 came H935 from H4480 the field H7704 , and he H1931 was faint H5889 :
|
|
30. Esau said to Jacob, "I'm starved! Give me some of that red stew!" (This is how Esau got his other name, Edom, which means "red.")
|
30. And Esau H6215 said H559 to H413 Jacob H3290 , Feed H3938 me , I pray thee H4994 , with H4480 that same H2088 red H122 pottage ; for H3588 I H595 am faint H5889 : therefore H5921 H3651 was his name H8034 called H7121 Edom H123 .
|
|
31. "All right," Jacob replied, "but trade me your rights as the firstborn son."
|
31. And Jacob H3290 said H559 , Sell H4376 me this day H3117 H853 thy birthright H1062 .
|
|
32. "Look, I'm dying of starvation!" said Esau. "What good is my birthright to me now?"
|
32. And Esau H6215 said H559 , Behold H2009 , I H595 am at the point H1980 to die H4191 : and what profit H4100 shall this H2088 birthright H1062 do to me?
|
|
33. But Jacob said, "First you must swear that your birthright is mine." So Esau swore an oath, thereby selling all his rights as the firstborn to his brother, Jacob.
|
33. And Jacob H3290 said H559 , Swear H7650 to me this day H3117 ; and he swore H7650 unto him : and he sold H4376 H853 his birthright H1062 unto Jacob H3290 .
|
|
34. Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. Esau ate the meal, then got up and left. He showed contempt for his rights as the firstborn.
|
34. Then Jacob H3290 gave H5414 Esau H6215 bread H3899 and pottage H5138 of lentils H5742 ; and he did eat H398 and drink H8354 , and rose up H6965 , and went his way H1980 : thus Esau H6215 despised H959 H853 his birthright H1062 .
