Genesis 25:27-29

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁷ When the boys grew up, Esau was a cunning and skilled hunter, a man of the outdoors; but Jacob was a plain and quiet man, dwelling in tents.

²⁸ And Isaac loved [and was partial to] Esau, because he ate of Esau’s game; but Rebekah loved Jacob.

²⁹ Jacob was boiling pottage (lentil stew) one day, when Esau came from the field and was faint [with hunger].
