MIT: In his desperate hunger, Esau sells his spiritual inheritance for a single meal

Esau comes in with a desperate hunger, and is tempted by his brother to sell his birthright.

Genesis 25:29–31 ESV

Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.) Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.”

Genesis 25:

2. In his momentary need, Esau sees no use for his birthright and spiritual promise.

Genesis 25:32–33 ESV

Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob.

3. Esau sold his birthright to his brother for a single meal

Genesis: 25:32-3

Genesis 25:34 ESV

Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
