Esau's Contempt of His Birthright
Genesis 25:29-34
And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:…


Let us consider —

I. WHETHER THERE BE NOT A BIRTHRIGHT WHICH WE MAY SELL; OR BLESSINGS TO THE ENJOYMENT OF WHICH WE ARE BORN, BUT WHICH WE MAY FORFEIT. Compare our state with that of —

(1)  The inferior creatures;

(2)  The fallen angels;

(3)  The heathen.

II. FOR WHAT CONSIDERATION THEY WHO SELL THIS BIRTHRIGHT PART WITH IT.

(J. Benson, D. D.)
