25 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

27When the boys grew up, Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.Esau sells his birthright. Gn.25.27-34וַיִּגְדְּלוּ הַנְּעָרִים וַיְהִי עֵשָׂו אִישׁ יֹדֵעַ צַיִד אִישׁ שָׂדֶה וְיַעֲקֹב אִישׁ תָּם יֹשֵׁב אֹהָלִים׃
28Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his game; but Rebekah loved Jacob. וַיֶּאֱהַב יִצְחָק אֶת־עֵשָׂו כִּי־צַיִד בְּפִיו וְרִבְקָה אֹהֶבֶת אֶת־יַעֲקֹב׃
29Once when Jacob was boiling pottage, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished. וַיָּזֶד יַעֲקֹב נָזִיד וַיָּבֹא עֵשָׂו מִן־הַשָּׂדֶה וְהוּא עָיֵף׃
30And Esau said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red pottage, for I am famished!" (Therefore his name was called Edom.) וַיֹּאמֶר עֵשָׂו אֶל־יַעֲקֹב הַלְעִיטֵנִי נָא מִן־הָאָדֹם הָאָדֹם הַזֶּה כִּי עָיֵף אָנֹכִי עַל־כֵּן קָרָא־שְׁמֹו אֱדֹום׃
31Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright." וַיֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב מִכְרָה כַיֹּום אֶת־בְּכֹרָתְךָ לִי׃
32Esau said, "I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?" וַיֹּאמֶר עֵשָׂו הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי הֹולֵךְ לָמוּת וְלָמָּה־זֶּה לִי בְּכֹרָה׃
33Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.  וַיֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב הִשָּׁבְעָה לִּי כַּיֹּומ וַיִּשָּׁבַע לֹו וַיִּמְכֹּר אֶת־בְּכֹרָתֹו לְיַעֲקֹב׃
34Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils, and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. וְיַעֲקֹב נָתַן לְעֵשָׂו לֶחֶם וּנְזִיד עֲדָשִׁים וַיֹּאכַל וַיֵּשְׁתְּ וַיָּקָם וַיֵּלַךְ וַיִּבֶז עֵשָׂו אֶת־הַבְּכֹרָה׃ ס
