30 Et Ésaü dit à Jacob: Laisse-moi, je te prie, manger de ce roux, de ce roux-là, car je suis fatigué. C’est pour cela qu’on a donné à Ésaü le nom d’Édom.

31 Jacob dit: Vends-moi aujourd’hui ton droit d’aînesse.

32 Ésaü répondit: Voici, je m’en vais mourir; à quoi me sert ce droit d’aînesse?

33 Et Jacob dit: Jure-le moi d’abord. Il le lui jura, et il vendit son droit d’aînesse à Jacob.

34 Alors Jacob donna à Ésaü du pain et du potage de lentilles. Il mangea et but, puis se leva et s’en alla. C’est ainsi qu’Ésaü méprisa le droit d’aînesse.
