25. Now the first came forth red, all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau.
26. Afterward his brother came forth with his hand holding on to Esau's heel, so his name was called Jacob; and Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
27. When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a peaceful man, living in tents.
28. Now Isaac loved Esau, because he had a taste for game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29. When Jacob had cooked stew, Esau came in from the field and he was famished;
30. and Esau said to Jacob, "Please let me have a swallow of that red stuff there, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom.
31. But Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright."
32. Esau said, "Behold, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?"
