On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright. We have here a bargain made between Jacob and Esau about the birthright, which was Esau's by providence but Jacob's by promise.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

And Isaac loved Esau - Isaac though he was not a stirring man himself, yet he loved to have his son active. Esau knew how to please him, and shewed a great respect for him, by treating him often with venison, which won upon him more than one would have thought.
