And the nearim grew: and Esav was a skilled hunter, an ish sadeh; and Ya'akov was an ish tam (quiet man), dwelling in ohalim. And Yitzchak loved Esav, because he did eat of his wild game; but Rivkah loved Ya'akov. And Ya'akov cooked stew: and Esav came from the sadeh, and he was famished. And Esav said to Ya'akov, Let me eat now some of the adom (red stew); for I am famished; therefore was shmo called Edom. And Ya'akov said, First sell me today thy bechorah (birthright, right of the firstborn). And Esav said, Hinei, I am at the point of death; and what profit shall this bechorah do to me? And Ya'akov said, Swear to me this day; and he swore unto him; and he sold his bechorah unto Ya'akov. Then Ya'akov gave Esav lechem and adashim (lentils) stew; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way; thus Esav despised his bechorah.
