“When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.”
Genesis 25:27 (BSB)
Context Reading
25The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau. 26After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born. 27When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home. 28Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob. 29One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
