And the boyes grew; and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the fielde: and Iacob was a plaine man, dwelling in tents.

And Isaac loued Esau, because he did eate of his venison: but Rebekah loued Iacob.

And Iacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and hee was faint.

And Esau said to Iacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage: for I am faint; therefore was his name called Edom.

And Iacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright doe to me?

And Iacob said, Sweare to mee this day: and he sware to him: and he sold his birthright vnto Iacob.

Then Iacob gaue Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eate and drinke, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
