section::::esau in genesis.:birthright.









































in genesis, esau returned to his twin brother jacob, famished from the fields. he begs jacob to give him some "red pottage" (a play on his nickname, "`edom", meaning "red".) this refers to his red hair. jacob offers esau a bowl of lentil stew in exchange for esau's birthright ( "bəḵōrāh", the right to be recognized as firstborn son with authority over the family), and esau agrees. thus jacob acquires esau's birthright. this is the origin of the english phrase "for a mess of pottage".
