Esau Sells His Birthright Genesis 25:27-31

Esau Sells His Birthright Genesis 25:27-31
·        As the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter a man of the open fields, while Jacob was the kind of person who liked to stay home.
·        Isaac loved Esau in particular because of the wild game he brought home but Rebekah favored Jacob.
·        One day when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau arrived home exhausted and hungry from a hunt.
·        Esau said, to Jacob "I'm starved! Give me some of that red you've made." (This was how Esau got his other name Edom Red.)
·        Jacob replied, "All right but trade me your birthright for it."
