New King James Version

Genesis 25:25-31 New King James Version (NKJV)

25. And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau.

26. Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

27. So the boys grew. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a mild man, dwelling in tents.

28. And Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

29. Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary.

30. And Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” Therefore his name was called Edom.

31. But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.”
