有一天,雅各熬汤,以扫从田野回来累昏了。 And Jacob sod pottage and Esau came from the field, and he was faint 以扫对雅各说,我累昏了,求你把这红汤给我喝。因此以扫又叫以东(以东就是红的意思)。 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.
雅各说,你今日把长子的名分卖给我吧。 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. 以扫说,我将要死,这长子的名分于我有什么益处呢。 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die and what profit shall this birthright do to me
于是雅各将饼和红豆汤给了以扫,以扫吃了喝了,便起来走了。这就是以扫轻看了他长子的名分。 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.

我要加增你的后裔,像天上的星那样多,又要将这些地都赐给你的后裔。并且地上万国必因你的后裔得福 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
