Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

The first one came out with a reddish complexion, covered completely with what was like a hairy robe, and they named him Eisov.

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

After that his brother came out, his hand grasping the heel of Eisov, and he [Yitzchok] named him Yaakov. Yitzchok was sixty years old when she [Rivkah] gave birth to them.

וּרְבִיּוּ עוּלֵמַיָּא וַהֲוָה עֵשָׂו גְּבַר נַחְשִׁירְכָן גְּבַר נָפֵק לְחַקְלָא וְיַעֲקֹב גְּבַר שְׁלִים מְשַׁמֵּשׁ בֵּית אוּלְפָנָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

The lads grew up. Eisov became a skilled trapper [an idle man], a man of the field [a man going out to the field]. Yaakov was a wholesome man, living in tents [serving in the house of study].

וּרְחֵם יִצְחָק יָת עֵשָׂו אֲרֵי מִצֵּידֵיהּ הֲוָה אָכִיל וְרִבְקָה רְחֵימַת יָת יַעֲקֹב:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Yitzchok loved Eisov because he ate of his trappings, but Rivkah loved Yaakov.

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Yaakov was simmering a pottage when Eisov came in from the field, exhausted.

וַאֲמַר עֵשָׂו לְיַעֲקֹב אַטְעֵמְנִי כְעַן מִן סִמּוֹקָא סִמּוֹקָא הָדֵין אֲרֵי מְשַׁלְּהֵי אָנָא עַל כֵּן קְרָא שְׁמֵיהּ אֱדוֹם:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Eisov said to Yaakov, Please [Now] give me a swallow of this red [pottage], for I am exhausted. He was therefore named Edom [Red].

וַאֲמַר יַעֲקֹב זַבִּין כְּיוֹם דִּלְהֵן יָת בְּכֵרוּתָךְ לִי:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Yaakov said, As of this day [Like this day], sell your birthright to me.

וַאֲמַר עֵשָׂו הָא אֲנָא אָזֵל לִמְמָת וּלְמָה דְּנָן לִי בְּכֵרוּתָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Eisov said, Here I am going to die, what [good] is this birthright to me.

וַאֲמַר יַעֲקֹב קַיֵּם לִי כְּיוֹם דִּלְהֵן וְקַיִּים לֵיהּ וְזַבִּין יָת בְּכֵרוּתֵיהּ לְיַעֲקֹב:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Yaakov said, Swear to me as of this day [like this day]. He swore to him, and sold his birthright to Yaakov.

וְיַעֲקֹב יְהַב לְעֵשָׂו לְחֵם וְתַבְשִׁיל דִּטְלוֹפְחִין וַאֲכַל וּשְׁתִי וְקָם וַאֲזָל וְשָׁט עֵשָׂו יָת בְּכֵרוּתָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Yaakov then gave Eisov bread and a pottage of lentils. He [Eisov] ate and drank, got up and left. [Thus] Eisov scorned the birthright.
