Genesis 25:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷ The children grew up, and Esau became an expert hunter, a man who lived in the open country. Jacob, on the other hand, was a quiet man, who stayed among the tents. ²⁸ Isaac loved Esau, for he enjoyed the taste of wild game, while Rebekah loved Jacob.

²⁹ One day Jacob cooked a lentil stew. Esau came in from the countryside and he was exhausted.
