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.
31 And Jacob said, Sell to me this day thy birth-right.
32 And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birth-right bring to me?
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birth-right to Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way: thus Esau despised [his] birth-right.
