    A brother meditating on what he just read in the Bible. He is imagining Esau selling his birthright to Jacob in exchange for a bowl of lentil stew.

    TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD | GENESIS 25-26

    Esau Sells His Birthright

    25:27-34

    Esau did “not appreciate sacred things.” (Heb 12:16) As a result, he sold his birthright. He also married two pagan women.​—Ge 26:34, 35.

    ASK YOURSELF: ‘How can I show greater appreciation for the following sacred things?’

    • My relationship with Jehovah

    • Holy spirit

    • Bearing the holy name, Jehovah

    • The field ministry

    • Christian meetings

    • Marriage
