The first one came out ruddy, like a hairy mantle all over, so they called his name: Esav [Esau in English]/Rough-One. After that his brother came out, his hand grasping Esav’s heel, so they called his name: Yaakov [Jacob in English]/Heel-Holder…. The lads grew up: Esav became a man who knew the hunt, a man of the field, but Yaakov was a plain man, staying among the tents. Yitzhak grew to love Esav, for [he brought] hunted-game for his mouth, but Rivka [Rebecca in English] loved Yaakov. Once Yaakov was boiling boiled-stew, when Esav came in from the field, and he was weary. Esav said to Yaakov: Pray give me a gulp of the red-stuff, that red-stuff, for I am so weary! ... Yaakov said: Sell me your firstborn-right here-and-now. Esav said: Here, I am on my way to dying, so what good to me is a firstborn-right? Yaakov said: Swear to me here-and-now.
