Genesis 25:26And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.Genesis 25:27And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.Genesis 25:28And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.Genesis 25:29And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:Genesis 25:30And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.Genesis 25:31And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.Genesis 25:33And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.Genesis 25:34Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.Genesis 27:6And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,Genesis 27:11And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
