Genesis 25:31
"And Jacob said to Esau, Sell me this day your birthright."
Genesis 25:31–33—Did Jacob purchase the birthright or get it by deception?
Contrasting Link: Genesis 29:1 →
Problem: This text says Esau was asked by Jacob to “sell” him the birthright. But Genesis 29:1ff tells how he got it by deception.
Solution: Jacob purchased the “birthright,” but he got the “blessing” by deception. These are distinct things. So there is no real discrepancy.
