Genesis 25:25And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.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 25:32And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?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 26:34And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:Genesis 27:1And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
