So she went to ask the LORD.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/25-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>The LORD said to her, "Two countries are in your womb. Two nations will go their separate ways from birth. One nation will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/25-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>When the time came for her to give birth, she had twins. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/25-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>The first one born was red. His whole body was covered with hair, so they named him Esau [Hairy]. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/25-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Afterwards, his brother was born with his hand holding on to Esau's heel, and so he was named Jacob [Heel]. Isaac was 60 years old when they were born.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/25-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>They grew up. Esau became an expert hunter, an outdoorsman. Jacob remained a quiet man, staying around the tents. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/25-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>Because Isaac liked to eat the meat of wild animals, he loved Esau. However, Rebekah loved Jacob.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/25-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>Once, Jacob was preparing a meal when Esau, exhausted, came in from outdoors. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/25-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>So Esau said to Jacob, "Let me have the whole pot of red stuff to eat-that red stuff-I'm exhausted." This is why he was called Edom. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/25-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Jacob responded, "First, sell me your rights as firstborn." <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/25-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>"I'm about to die." Esau said. "What good is my inheritance to me?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/25-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>"First, swear an oath," Jacob said. So Esau swore an oath to him and sold him his rights as firstborn. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/25-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>Then Jacob gave Esau a meal of bread and lentils. He ate and drank, and then he got up and left. This is how Esau showed his contempt for his rights as firstborn.</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">GOD'S WORD® is a copyrighted work of <a href="//www.godsword.org" target="_top">God's Word to the Nations</a>.
