a man
<0376>

<0376>_,

dwelling
<03427> (8802)

<0168>_.

25:28

<03327>

loved
<0157> (8799)

Esau
<06215>_,

because he did eat

came
<0935> (8799)

from the field
<07704>_,

and he [was] faint
<05889>_:

25:30

And Esau
<06215>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Jacob
<03290>_,

Feed
<03938> (8685)

me, I pray thee, with
<04480>

that same
<0122>

red
<0122>

[pottage]; for I [am] faint
<05889>_:

therefore was his name
<08034>

called
<07121> (8804)

Edom
<0123>_.

{with...: Heb. with that red, with that red pottage} {Edom: that is Red}

25:31

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Sell
<04376> (8798)

me this day
<03117>

thy birthright
<01062>_.

25:32

And Esau
<06215>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, I [am] at the point
<01980> (8802)

to die
<04191> (8800)_:

and what profit shall this birthright
<01062>

do to me? {at...: Heb. going to die}

25:33

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Swear
<07650> (8734)

to me this day
<03117>_;

and he sware
<07650> (8735)

unto him: and he sold
<04376> (8799)

his birthright
<01062>

unto Jacob
<03290>_.

25:34

Then Jacob
<03290>

gave
<05414> (8804)

Esau
<06215>

bread
<03899>

and pottage
<05138>

of lentiles
<05742>_;

and he did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_,

and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and went his way
<03212> (8799)_:

thus Esau
<06215>

despised
<0959> (8799)

[his] birthright
<01062>_.
