Jacob Tricks Esau

Genesis 25:29-31

29 One day Jacob was cooking some stew. Esau came in from the open country. He was very hungry.

30 He said to Jacob, “Quick! Let me have some of that red stew! I’m very hungry!” (That’s why he was also named Edom.)

31 Jacob replied, “First sell me the rights that belong to you as the oldest son in the family.”
