This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Esau said ... I am at the point to die - that is, I am running daily risk of my life; and of what use will the birthright be to me: so he despised or cared little about it, in comparison with gratifying his appetite - he threw away his religious privileges for a trifle; and thence he is styled “a profane person” (Heb 12:16; also Job 31:7, Job 31:16; Job 6:13; Phi 3:19). “There was never any meat, except the forbidden fruit, so dear bought, as this broth of Jacob” [Bishop Hall].
