In context

26After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.

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.

30He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.)
