Genesis 25:29-31
International Standard Version
29 One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau happened to come in from being outdoors, and he was feeling famished.
30 Esau told Jacob, “Let me gobble down some of this red stuff, since I’m starving.” (That’s how Esau got his nickname “Edom”.)[a]
31 But Jacob responded, “Sell me your birthright. Do it now.”[b]
