| Genesis 25:33 | Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birth-right. | Swore; and still we find him enraged above measure, when Isaac had, by mistake, ratified the transfer of the birth-right to Jacob; (Chap. 27:41.) whence we may gather, that he did not intend to perform what he promised, even with the solemnity of an oath; which renders him still more deserving of the title profane, which St. Paul gives him.
