## Genesis 25:25-30 in Context (Verses 22–33 KJV)
 
 [22 ](/kjv/genesis/25/22) And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If *it be* so, why *am* I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/genesis/25/23) And the LORD said unto her, Two nations *are* in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and *the one* people shall be stronger than *the other* people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/genesis/25/24) ¶ And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, *there were* twins in her womb.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/genesis/25/25) And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/genesis/25/26) And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac *was* threescore years old when she bare them.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/genesis/25/27) And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob *was* a plain man, dwelling in tents.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/genesis/25/28) And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of *his* venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.*
 
 [29 ](/kjv/genesis/25/29) ¶ And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he *was* faint:
 
 [30 ](/kjv/genesis/25/30) And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red *pottage;* for I *am* faint: therefore was his name called Edom.**
 
 [31 ](/kjv/genesis/25/31) And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/genesis/25/32) And Esau said, Behold, I *am* at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?*
 
 [33 ](/kjv/genesis/25/33) And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
