ያዕቆብ የምስር ክት ሲያብስ ነበር፤ ኤሳው ከሜዳ ተርሞ መጣ፤ ለወንድሙ ለያዕቆብ፣ “ከዚች የስንዴ ክት አስገባኝ” አለው። ያዕቆብ ግን፣ “የበኵርነትህን መብት አስቀድሞ ስጠኝ፤ ከዚያ ምግብና ከዚህ ክት እሰጥህ” አለው።

When Jacob was cooking lentil porridge, Esau came hungry from the field. He said to his brother Jacob: 'Give me some of this wheat porridge'. But Jacob said to him: 'Hand over to me your birthright which belongs to the first-born, and then I will give you food and some of this porridge as well'.
