What did Esau think of his birthright?
Esau saw no value in his birthright, regarding it as worthless. He was willing to sell it to Jacob for a bowl of bean soup because he was destitute of faith and preferred immediate food. The birthright had to be appropriated by faith, and Esau had none.
Les explains that Esau came in hungry as a bear and smelled the bean soup cooking. He asked Jacob for a bowl of soup, but Jacob required him to sell his birthright. Esau saw absolutely nothing of any kind of worth in the birthright and would rather have the bowl of soup. Les says the birthright had to be appropriated by faith, and Esau had no faith—he was destitute of faith. Consequently, Les connects this to Esau being sexually immoral, saying the two go hand in hand and cannot be separated.
