📖 Genesis 25:27–29
27When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home. 28Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob. 29One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.
