Genesis 25:30

He said to Jacob, “Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I’m famished!” (That is why he was also called Edom.)

 

From Background Notes [BN] for January 26th & 27th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

 

In the heat of the moment, two brothers chose their futures, and yet they would soon discover, such things are never really settled in a moment. That is the deception. That is the hustle.

 

 

Anyone reading the rest of the story (Genesis 27-33) will soon discover that Jacob cannot have the birthright, without the blessing of his father; and he cannot have the blessing of his father without one more deception; and even then he can have no real blessing until he receives it from the hand of God.  [BN, 5]
