THE STORY

=Sec.10. The Purchase of the Birthright= (Gen. 25:25-34)

Isaac and Rebekah had two sons who were twins. The first was red, all

over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau, and the name

of his brother was called Jacob.

And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field;

and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. Now Isaac loved Esau,

because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob.

And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came in from the field, and he was

faint: and Esau said to Jacob, "Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red

pottage; for I am faint."
