One day, [[Esau]] came home from hunting and he found [[Jacob]] making lentil stew. Overcome by hunger, Esau sold his birthright to Jacob in exchange for the stew. Thus, Jacob received the blessing of the [[firstborn]] instead of Esau, who had despised his birthright. To avoid Esau’s wrath, Jacob fled to live with his uncle Laban. After taking care of the sheep at Laban’s house, Jacob married Laban’s two daughters, Leah and Rachel, and had twelve sons and one daughter. After twenty years, Jacob returned to his hometown.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+31%3A41&version=NIV |title=Genesis 31:41 |quote= }}</ref> | One day, [[Esau]] came home from hunting and he found [[Jacob]] making lentil stew.
