SOLD FOR A BOWL OF SOUP
Genesis 22:27-36
27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the
field; and Jacob [was] a plain man, dwelling in tents. 28 And
Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of [his] venison: but Rebekah
loved Jacob. 29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the
field, and he [was] faint: 30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I
pray thee, with that same red [pottage]; for I [am] faint:
therefore was his name called Edom. 31 And Jacob said, Sell me
this day thy birthright. 32 And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the
point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? 33
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and
he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 34 Then 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.
