In the King James versionthe word - Esau - appears 88 timesthe word - Esau's - appears 12 timesBear in mind that these numbers refer to the precise words named. As, having been named once, some people are often referenced by pronouns in later verses, as in this verse where the phrase "he sold his" refers to Esau:-Gen 25:33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

In the Bible, Jakob and Esau were twins. Esau was born first, and was his father's heir. When their father was dying, Esau the hunter went out to try to find meat for his father, and came back famished, having failed to find any game. Jakob had prepared a meal of lentils, and Esau asked for some. Jakob set the price at Esau's inheritance. Esau replied "Of what use is this birthright to me? For behold, I am an-hungered and like to die.", and he sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. Thus the phrase means to exchange something of great value for immediate gain.

Esau sold his birthright to his brother Jacob for a meal of pottage (Genesis ch.25). See also:Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
In the Bible, Esau sold his birthright to his younger brother Jacob for a bowl of stew. Later, Jacob, with the encouragement of his mother Rebekah, deceived their father Isaac to receive the blessing meant for Esau. This act of trickery solidified Jacob's claim to the birthright, leading to a deep rift between the brothers.

Esau is the correct answer.
Genesis 25 records that Esau sold his birthright to Jacob in exchange for a meal. 29And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: 30And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. 31And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. 32And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? 33And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 34Then 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.
Himself when he sold his birthright for a bowl of pourage.
Jacob bought it from him for a bowl of lentil soup. 29And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: 30And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. 31And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. 32And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? 33And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 34Then 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. Esau was certainly faint from his hunting but would hardly have been about to die. So it appears that Jacob took advantage of Esau's slack attitude - he didn't really care about his inheritance. The New Testament indicates Esau was profane -he didn't appreciate what he should have. 16Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
He was also called Edom because he sold his birthright for 'red' stew. (Genesis 25:25, 26, 30).Edom (Genesis ch. 36).
