Genesis 25:34

And Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. Then he ate. Then he drank. Then he got up. And then he left. So Esau despised [lightly abandoned] his birthright.
[The verbs in the verse (5 in a row) reinforce how Esau acts without thinking about the consequences. The birthright was a gift from the Lord (Yahweh). His recklessness becomes a warning example of someone who is unspiritual, see Heb. 12:16–17.]
