Red food requested by Esau · dominant
In Genesis 25:30, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in Esau's request to eat from what is before Jacob. The APB renders the request as “Please let me eat some of that red stuff,” then reports that he was called Edom.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Genesis 25:30, the APB presents the request with “red stuff” and then reports the name Edom. It does not establish how each occurrence maps onto those English words.
