Genesis 25:30-34 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

30. He said to Jacob, “Let me gulp down some of that red stuff; I am famished.” That is why he was called Edom.

31. But Jacob replied, “First sell me your right as firstborn.”

32. “Look,” said Esau, “I am on the point of dying. What good is the right as firstborn to me?”

33. But Jacob said, “Swear to me first!” So he sold Jacob his right as firstborn under oath.

34. Jacob then gave him some bread and the lentil stew; and Esau ate, drank, got up, and went his way. So Esau treated his right as firstborn with disdain.
