《圣经》（新旧约全书）

北回归线

两个孩子渐渐长大，以扫善于打猎，常在田野。雅各为人安静，常住在帐棚里。

And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents

以撒爱以扫，因为常吃他的野味。利百加却爱雅各。

And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob

有一天，雅各熬汤，以扫从田野回来累昏了。

And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint

以扫对雅各说，我累昏了，求你把这红汤给我喝。因此以扫又叫以东（以东就是红的意思）。

And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom

And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob

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
