25 the first baby was covered with red hair, so he was named Esau.
26 The second baby grabbed his brother's heel, so they named him Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
27 As Jacob and Esau grew older, Esau liked the outdoors and became a good hunter, while Jacob settled down and became a shepherd.
28 Esau would take the meat of wild animals to his father Isaac, and so Isaac loved him more, but Jacob was his mother's favourite son.
29 One day, Jacob was cooking some stew, when Esau came home hungry
30 and said, “I'm starving to death! Give me some of that red stew at once!” That's how Esau got the name “Edom”.
31 Jacob replied, “Sell me your rights as the firstborn son.”
