Selling privileges for a lentil soup...

There was Issac and Rebeca, both little old with the illusion of being parents. They ask for help to the Lord because Rebeca was not able to have babies. At the age of 60, Issac was the father of twins. During the pregnancy Rebeca felt how both babies were fighting and se go to the Lord and ask him. 

He said -You have two nations in your womb, both are going to be strong but the older (Esaú) is going to serve the younger (Jacob). 

At the birth the younger was pulling at his brother feet, he wants to be stronger and better even before they go outside Rebecas womb. The time pased by and Esaú was the favorite of Issac, the older, the one that has all the birthrights that are very important for jewish people, he is the one that deserves all the blessings of this father. 
Esaú was a really good hunter, and Jacob was a plain man, Rebecas favorite. 
One day Esaú returned very tired of his hunting, he saw Jacobs food and tried to convince him to give some, but Jacob proposed a deal... 

The Lentils soup for his birthrights... He accepted and in that moment he lost every right, and he despised everything he could get with that blessing.
