Genesis 25:28-33 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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?"

33. And Jacob said, "First swear to me"; so he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.
