In Abraham’s culture, the oldest son in a family typically received a position of leadership and privilege, called the birthright.

This son received a greater inheritance from his parents, along with greater responsibilities for caring for the rest of the family.

As you read Genesis 25:29–34, consider why Esau might have been willing to give up his birthright in exchange for a meal.

What lessons do you find for yourself in this account?

For example, is there any “pottage” that is distracting you from blessings that are of most value to you?

What are you doing to focus on and appreciate these blessings?
