32 Esau said, "Behold, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?"32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?32 "I'm about to die." Esau said. "What good is my inheritance to me?"32 Esau said, "Behold, I am about to die.

33 And Jacob said, "First swear to me"; so he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.33 "First, swear an oath," Jacob said. So Esau swore an oath to him and sold him his rights as firstborn.33 Jacob said, "Swear to me first." He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.33 And Jacob said, Swear unto me now.
