TemptationSelf-control

28 Isak elsket Esau fordi han likte å spise hans vilt, men Rebekka elsket Jakob.

29 En gang, da Jakob kokte suppe, kom Esau inn fra marken, utmattet.

Han sa til Jakob: "La meg få litt av den røde suppen, for jeg er utmattet." Derfor ble han kalt Edom.

31 Jakob svarte: "Selg meg førstefødselsretten din først."

32 Esau sa: "Jeg er ved døden; hva nytte har jeg av førstefødselsretten?"
